The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 31 - Arriving at the Orphanage (1)_1

Situ Xin, hearing Old Master Situ’s voice—and even the faint sounds from someone nearby asking him who was calling—was still having an internal struggle about whether to speak up or not.

However, when Situ Xin heard Old Master Situ saying, “If you don’t talk, I’ll hang up,” she panicked, and a “Grandpa,” with its pronunciation not quite right and with a childish tone, blurted out from her mouth.

On the other end of the phone, Old Master Situ, who had been ready to hang up, was stunned when he heard the mushy, soft voice that said “Grandpa,” with unsure pronunciation.

The word “Grandpa” inadvertently stirred his emotions.

Old Master Loo, who was sitting next to Old Master Situ, paid close attention to Old Master Situ’s facial expressions.

When he noticed that Old Master Situ was completely frozen, his heart skipped a beat, fearing that some bad news had come through the phone.

As such, he asked anxiously, “Situ, what happened?

Is it Xiao Xin?”

Old Master Situ was pulled back to his senses by Old Master Loo’s question, but by then, he was too preoccupied to explain the situation to Old Master Loo.

Holding the receiver, he eagerly asked the other end, “Is it Baby?

Is it Baby?

I’m Grandpa.”

Although Old Master Situ had never heard Situ Xin’s voice before, when he heard the word “Grandpa,” he felt that it must be his beloved granddaughter, Situ Xin, calling.

He believed that only his sweet baby could call him “Grandpa” in such a sweet way.

The people present became restless when they heard Old Master Situ’s words.

“Situ, are you saying it was Xiao Xin who called?” Old Master Loo asked in disbelief.

It wasn’t just Old Master Loo; everyone there was in disbelief.

After all, Situ Xin was only five months old—how could she make a phone call?

A five-month-old baby was not even at the age to start speaking.

At that moment, Old Master Situ didn’t care about what everyone else thought.

A voice inside him kept telling him that it was indeed his Baby on the phone.

Situ Xin hadn’t expected that Old Master Situ would guess it was her so quickly.

She was very excited and thought that now her family would be able to find her.

Just as she was about to answer Old Master Situ and tell him she was Situ Xin,

Auntie, the director who had just stepped out to resolve some matters and was worried about Situ Xin, returned to check on her.

As soon as she walked into her office, she was surprised to see Situ Xin holding the receiver.

“Xiao Xin, you cannot touch this, put it down quickly.”

The director’s voice prevented Situ Xin from immediately responding to Old Master Situ on the phone.

Meanwhile, Old Master Situ, hearing another person’s voice on the phone and faintly catching the name “Xiao Xin,” became incredibly excited.

“Hello?

Hello?

Hello?” Old Master Situ thought that once the person on the other end heard his voice and picked up the receiver, he could find out the whereabouts of his beloved granddaughter.

But, as much as he wished for it, reality was cruel.

The director quickly approached Situ Xin, snatched the receiver from her hand.

“Xiao Xin, you can’t play with this,” she said, not noticing the voice on the other end of the line, and placed the receiver back on the telephone.

The director thought that Situ Xin was just playing with the receiver and could not have imagined that the five-month-old child could dial a number and make a call.

Old Master Situ, hearing the “beep beep beep beep” sound from the phone again, hung up the phone, feeling somewhat helpless.

“Old Master, what happened?

Was it really Baby who called?” Old Madam Situ asked cautiously after seeing Old Master Situ hang up.

Although she hardly believed it was her Baby who called, she still harbored a sliver of hope.

“I believe it was Baby who called,” Old Master Situ couldn’t be certain in telling everyone that it was Situ Xin on the phone, but regardless, he would not miss any clues that might lead him to Situ Xin.

Old Master Situ said, before picking up the phone again, “Hello, is this Xiao Luo?” “Yes, it’s me.

Help me to check the number that just called my house and where that phone number is from.

Make it quick; it’s urgent.”

At this time, there was no such thing as caller ID, so to find out a caller’s phone number, one had to go to the telephone company and inquire.

After Old Master Situ hung up the phone, everyone’s eyes turned towards him.

Situ Jin and Situ Che, who had adamantly refused to go to school because of Situ Xin’s incident, lacked the adults’ patience.

“Grandpa, was it little sister who called?” Situ Jin asked directly as he ran down from the stairs where he had spent the night, his eyes full of hope.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa will bring Baby back,” Old Master Situ rarely spoke with such a gentle voice to his two grandsons but he didn’t directly answer Situ Jin’s question, because he wasn’t one hundred percent sure if it was his Baby who called.

“Yes, I believe little sister will come back,” Situ Jin said firmly.

“I also believe little sister will come back,” Situ Che, who rarely spoke, chimed in.

Situ Che, like his father, was also an iceberg, usually showing a softer expression only when he was around Situ Xin.
