Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Xiao Family News (3)_1
"Oh, it’s nothing important." Situ Xin glanced at Situ Che and Loo Jie sitting next to her. "I’ll be heading to Dragon Society in a bit."
"Is that right now?" Situ Xin rarely came to Dragon Society during the day, so Xia Yujie was startled to hear that she would be arriving soon and wondered if he had heard her correctly.
"Yes, that’s right, it’s now. I’m already on my way to Dragon Society. By the way, apart from myself, my two brothers are coming with me." Situ Xin gave him a heads-up.
Indeed, Situ Xin had never intended to conceal her identity from Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang. Over the years, even if she did not consider them family, Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang still had a place in her life.
Although Situ Xin hadn’t deliberately hidden it, she also hadn’t explicitly told them about her status. However, she was sure that Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang must have been aware of it.
Today, by bringing Situ Che and Loo Jie with her to meet them, she was formally acknowledging her identity.
After ending the call with Situ Xin, Xia Yujie stood there with his phone, dumbfounded. He could hardly believe that Situ Xin would bring her family members to Dragon Society. Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang had indeed known about Situ Xin’s identity for a while, but having seen her only appear at Dragon Society at night over the years, they thought she might not want them to know about her family background, so they never asked. Even after finding out, they had not confronted Situ Xin about it. Xia Yujie couldn’t be sure if Situ Xin’s action signified her acceptance of them.
Liu Yuxiang, who was talking to Situ Muli, caught Xia Yujie’s dazed expression and came over. "Jie, what’s wrong with you today? You’ve been zoning out."
"Xiang, the Young Miss said she’ll be here soon, and her two brothers are coming with her," Xia Yujie said, coming to his senses.
"Really? The master is coming? And she’s bringing her brothers?" Liu Yuxiang was excited when he heard Xia Yujie’s words. His thoughts matched Xia Yujie’s, wondering if Situ Xin’s actions meant acceptance.
Situ Muli was relieved to hear that Situ Xin was coming. Ever since Baibai sent him to Dragon Society, he had hit it off with Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang quite well.
The three of them got along harmoniously, and this period had been the happiest time of his life.
Nonetheless, ever since returning from Xiangjiang, Situ Muli had been anxiously waiting for Situ Xin to show up. Her absence made him sometimes wonder if she had forgotten about him.
The car, upon reaching the headquarters of Dragon Society, drew the attention of many members.
The members of Dragon Society, one after another, peered at the vehicle, wondering who could be inside that warranted a personal alert from their boss to stay sharp.
Seeing the curious glances from everyone, Situ Xin patted her chest and said to Situ Che and Loo Jie, "Good thing I’m clever enough to have Grandpa and Granduncle get me a new car. Otherwise, riding an military-license tagged car to the headquarters of an underworld organization would’ve seemed quite odd." What Situ Xin didn’t say was that it would have been even more conspicuous.
"Yes, our Baby is indeed the smartest," Loo Jie said, looking at Situ Xin’s tender face, unable to resist moving forward and gently pinching it.
"Ouch. Brother Jie, how could you pinch my face?" Situ Xin, touching her pinched cheek, looked accusingly at Loo Jie, then turned her head, looking plaintively at Situ Che: "Brother Che, look, Brother Jie is bullying me."
Situ Che shot Loo Jie a sharp glare upon seeing the slight redness on Situ Xin’s face. Loo Jie, receiving Situ Che’s warning look and noticing the reddish mark on Situ Xin’s face, touched his nose in embarrassment. However, he thought to himself, "Little sister’s face is really smooth and tender." freeweɓnovel.cøm
After glaring at Loo Jie, Situ Che gently placed his hand on the reddened cheek, the softness under his touch making him think, "No wonder Loo Jie couldn’t resist pinching Baby." However, Situ Che’s face betrayed none of his thoughts as he massaged Situ Xin’s cheek, saying to her, "Baby, let’s not fuss over this now. When we get back, I’ll deal with him for you."
"Alright, Brother Che, let’s head down first," Situ Xin said, thinking of Xia Yujie and the others waiting for her.
As Loo Jie opened the door to get out, Situ Xin quickly grabbed him, pulling out three caps from her bag and handing two of them to Situ Che and Loo Jie, keeping one for herself.
Situ Xin had her reasons; it was fine for Xia Yujie and the others to know her identity, but her relationship with Dragon Society must not be known to others, especially not to military or political figures.
If they found out about her ties with Dragon Society, some would certainly use the fact that she was connected to the underworld to maliciously smear the Situ and Loo Families. This was something she did not want to see.
"Sister has thought things through carefully," Situ Che and Loo Jie thought upon receiving the caps from Situ Xin, realizing her consideration. They inwardly chided themselves for not being as thoughtful.
The members of Dragon Society kept their eyes fixed on the car that Situ Xin and the others had arrived in, speculating about the identities of those inside. However, when they saw a familiar figure wearing a cap step out of the car, the members of Dragon Society immediately straightened up, respectfully bowed slightly, and in unison, greeted, "Greetings, Young Miss."
Because Situ Xin seldom appeared in Dragon Society, and when she did, it was usually at night, few had ever seen her. But all were very familiar with the Young Miss’s signature look.
Upon seeing the Young Miss in person, the members of Dragon Society felt an indescribable excitement. If it weren’t for wanting to make a good impression in front of the Young Miss, they might have all burst out shouting, "I’ve seen the Young Miss, I’ve seen the Young Miss!"
After nodding and acknowledging the Dragon Society members, Situ Xin pulled Situ Che and Loo Jie towards the main building of Dragon Society headquarters.
