The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 869 - 392

Situ Xin felt that at her daughter’s age, it was perfectly normal to be in a relationship.

But that was it, just dating and holding hands. Anything beyond that, she couldn’t accept.

Muli grasped Situ Xin’s hand, their fingers interlocked. At first glance, one might mistake them for a lovey-dovey young couple. Muli, who rarely cracked a smile in public, was all tenderness around Situ Xin. It was often Muli sticking close to Situ Xin.

Xiao Xuqu and Xiao Xuyang, along with many others from the Xiao Family, had seen their parents’ affectionate behavior quite a bit. Yet every time they saw it, it still made their teeth hurt.

Xiao Xuqu and his brother Xiao Xuyang were exchanging glances when Muli caught them red-handed.

Muli’s heart was uneasy - his daughter, whom he had cherished and spoiled for so many years, had suddenly been swept away by some brat. Turning his head and seeing the antics of his sons, his anger flared.

"I’m telling you two, are you of any use at all?" Muli said abruptly, stopping and turning as he held Situ Xin’s hand, before scolding them.

"Us?" Both Xiao Xuqu and Xiao Xuyang didn’t know what they had done to anger their father.

"Don’t ’us’ me. Tell me, I’ve asked you to look after your sister regularly, to make sure she isn’t bullied. Hey, you two did a great job – letting some brat whisk your sister away." Once he began, Muli’s anger grew fiercer, and he found his sons increasingly irritating. "Also, you two are about the same age as that brat, aren’t you? How come he knows how to chase a girl and you two don’t have even a shadow of a girlfriend?"

Xiao Xuqu and Xiao Xuyang felt utterly wronged by the scolding.

Their sister had fully inherited their mother’s fierce spirit. To bully her? No chance, not even through a window. As for those guys chasing their sister...

It truly wasn’t something they could meddle in. If their sister was unwilling, no suitor stood a chance. But their sister had indeed taken a liking to someone. What could they do then? Their dad didn’t recognize what kind of person his daughter was.

As for them not having girlfriends, that was even more wronged. They were not like Xu Haoyang, lacking ambition. As for chasing girls, they never had to; girls always chased after them.

It was just that they hadn’t met a woman who was excellent enough to capture their hearts.

Was it really supposed to be their fault?

Xiao Xuqu and Xiao Xuyang exchanged a glance, with Xiao Xuyang saying, "Dad, you really can’t blame us for this, you think everyone is as lucky as you and that kid Xu Haoyang, to meet a girl they like?"

"Exactly, and besides, who asked mom to be so outstanding, raising our standards too high?" said Xiao Xuqu, feeling aggrieved.

Situ Xin was slightly pissed off by her sons’ words. "So it’s my fault now?" But then, she thought about it and felt that, indeed, love wasn’t something to force. Sometimes, if fate hasn’t arrived, there’s nothing one can do. "Alright, forget it, your dad might have been too harsh on you. But you didn’t take good care of your sister, you cannot deny that. Here’s a chance to make it up."

"What chance?" Xiao Xuyang and Xiao Xuqu simultaneously asked. After speaking, the brothers exchanged glances, both seeing worry in each other’s eyes.

For some reason, they felt like their mom was going to trick them.

"You two really have good chemistry. Do me a favor and send Xu Haoyang home. He’s drunk, and it’s not nice to keep him here overnight; it’s not good for your sister to escort him alone, either. Plus, if he went on his own, his family might think our family lacks manners. So, it’s best if you two do it."

The Xiao brothers slumped their shoulders, saying that when their mom comes to them, it’s never good news. And sure enough, trouble has come knocking.

And neither of them could nor dare to utter a word of refusal.

Faced with their dad’s expressionless face and their mom’s smile that seemed anything but well-meaning, the two brothers didn’t dare to say a word of refusal.

Although sending Xu Haoyang home was a hassle, compared to being troubled by their parents, they would rather choose to send Xu Haoyang back.

Just thinking about their parents’ schemes sent shivers down their spines.

"Or is it that you don’t want to?" Situ Xin intentionally asked.

"No."

"Right, no, we’re more than willing. Bro, let’s go, let’s hurry and take him home. It’s getting late, and we don’t want Xu Haoyang’s family to get anxious." fгeewebnovёl.com

Xiao Xuyang and Xiao Xuqu turned and ran, fearing that if they were a step slow, they’d be dealt with by their parents.

Watching the two brothers fleeing as if for their lives, Situ Xin couldn’t help but laugh joyously. "Haha, look at those two, they’re hilarious. Afraid they’ll be punished if they’re one step slow. But tell me, are we really that scary?"

"If they upset you, we can indeed be quite terrifying." Muli reached out, affectionately ruffled Situ Xin’s hair with a face full of indulgence. In his eyes, his own children weren’t as important as Situ Xin.

His children might annoy him, but if someone upset his darling, he wouldn’t hesitate to set things straight.

And clearly, Xiao Xuyang and Xiao Xuqu knew exactly what their dad’s Achilles’ heel was. That’s why they ran as if escaping for their lives.

Xiao Xuqu and Xiao Xuyang managed to get the drunk Xu Haoyang back to the Xu Family.

The drunken Xu Haoyang wasn’t too much trouble, other than being a bit annoying with his constant blabbing about how much he loved Xiao Shiyao and how he fell for her at first sight. All along the way, the Xiao brothers were so bombarded by his words that their ears were almost calloused.

The two brothers had to restrain themselves from knocking Xu Haoyang out cold with a slap.

Upon seeing their son being personally sent back by the Xiao brothers, and hearing the words he was mumbling, the Xu family couple’s faces turned dark in an instant, and they became extremely cautious when looking at the Xiao brothers.

The couple was well aware of how precious Xiao Shiyao was to the Xiao Family and the Situ Family; those who had thought of courting Xiao Shiyao before had been dealt with by the Xiao and Situ families. The Xu family couple had never dared to entertain the idea of having Xiao Shiyao as their daughter-in-law.

They hadn’t even dared to think about it, but their son had actually set his sights on her and even pursued her to her family’s home. Just the thought made their hearts tremble.
