The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 16 - Godfather(2)_1

When Old Master Situ reached out to embrace her, she clung to Zhang Xinjie and refused to let go.

“You child.” Old Master Situ was very surprised and puzzled about what had happened to his treasured grandchild.

Situ Xin was still thinking about how to point the finger at Lv Yan when, unexpectedly, the opportunity came to her doorstep.

“You little brat, why are you clinging to my dad?

He’s my dad, give him back to me!” The little girl who had been silent until now suddenly burst out yelling.

She had been watching her father dote on the little baby with great affection, something she had never experienced since she became sensible.

In fact, her mother had told her that her father had never truly looked at her since the day she was born.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she couldn’t help but rush out.

No sooner had the girl’s words fallen than the faces of Old Master Situ and the others turned very unsightly.

And Zhang Xinjie’s gaze towards Lv Yan and her daughter turned even colder.

Old Master Zhang’s face was the most unsightly of all; upon hearing his granddaughter’s words, his face turned dark instantly.

Old Master Zhang had never been fond of his granddaughter, and although he didn’t verbally abuse her, he didn’t show her any affection either.

Now, his granddaughter had lost face for him in the home of an old friend, and though he was angry with her, he knew that since his granddaughter was only three years old, it wasn’t right to blame her for any misbehavior.

But Old Master Zhang felt angry, and he blamed all his granddaughter’s faults on his daughter-in-law, Lv Yan.

“Lv Yan, how are you teaching the child?

Is this the place to behave so wildly?” Old Master Zhang said this with a very unpleasant tone.

Upon hearing Old Master Zhang’s words, Lv Yan’s body shook slightly, but the movement was so slight that it went unnoticed by most.

However, Situ Xin, who was nestled in Zhang Xinjie’s embrace and always alert to her surroundings, caught it all.

Right from the womb, Situ Xin’s senses, like her hearing, had been sharper than a typical baby’s, and after reaching the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, her hearing and vision became much more acute than an average person’s.

Take a mosquito for instance; while most people could only see a mosquito flying and sometimes not even notice it, Situ Xin could clearly see every tiny leg on the mosquito.

Lv Yan knew that her father-in-law had disliked her from the start, let alone after she did that thing.

She knew that what she did at that time was very distasteful, but why didn’t anyone try to see it from her perspective?

She did it because she truly loved Zhang Xinjie.

Everyone present, including Old Master Situ as the host, had reasons not to speak out when Old Master Zhang called for Lv Yan to leave.

Lv Yan’s affair with the Zhang Family was something of which many were aware.

Lv Yan, the eldest daughter of the Lv Family, despite her family not being as influential as the Situ or Loo Families, wasn’t from a bad background.

Nobody knew what went through her mind, but she drugged Zhang Xinjie to climb into his bed and became pregnant with his child.

Only then was she able to enter the Zhang Family’s doors.

However, Zhang Xinjie never liked Lv Yan, and her scheming only deepened his disdain.

Under duress, he married Lv Yan, but the very next day after their wedding, he applied for a transfer away from the Capital City and hardly ever returned home, not even when Lv Yan was giving birth.

Zhang Xinjie wasn’t the only one in the Zhang Family who abhorred Lv Yan—the entire family disliked her immensely.

Even the household servants didn’t pay much attention to her, let alone Old Master Zhang.

He didn’t favor Lv Yan, and her cunning ways to trap his son into marriage, rendering him unable to return home, only fueled his displeasure.

As for his granddaughter, Old Master Zhang also found no affection for her and seldom acknowledged her.

After hearing her father-in-law’s words, Lv Yan felt pained inside, yet she looked at Zhang Xinjie with a glimmer of hope, thinking that regardless of how much he despised her, he would speak up in this instance.

But as she turned to Zhang Xinjie, she saw him doting over the daughter of Loo Yaxin in his arms.

The affection on his face deeply wounded her, for she remembered well the cold expression he held towards her and their daughter.

The thought of her daughter, named Zhang Siya—this flame within Lv Yan’s heart flared up again.

Initially delighted upon hearing that Zhang Xinjie had named their daughter, she had thought there was a place in his heart for the two of them.

However, when her mother-in-law told her the name, Lv Yan was dumbstruck.

What was Zhang Xinjie implying by giving her daughter this name?

Seeing the way Zhang Xinjie looked at Situ Xin, the rage inside Lv Yan surged uncontrollably, and her desire to seek revenge against Loo Xinya intensified.

Old Master Zhang waited for a while but did not receive an answer from his daughter-in-law, which ignited a fire in his heart.

His daughter-in-law was so blatantly disrespectful.

He added coldly, “You and your daughter, get going right now.

You’re both humiliating our Zhang Family.” “Dad, I’ll take Yiner back right away.” Lv Yan took a few deep breaths to calm herself and spoke very composedly.

Situ Xin, watching from the side, couldn’t help thinking, “This woman’s scheming is formidable; she can really endure.”
