The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 58 - Little Uncle (1)_1

This store wasn’t very big and had no special decorations, just a plain cement floor.

Two levels of metal shelves were placed against the walls, carrying some bottled products.

Various items were packed in cardboard boxes, arranged in the center of the room.

This setup was not something that Situ Xin had seen before, which she found very novel.

Situ Xin was surveying the room’s arrangement when everyone in the store started looking at her.

“Yo, is this your daughter?” the store owner asked, having instructed the clerk, turning to see Situ Xin.

“Yeah, my daughter.” Speaking of his daughter, Situ Haotian was full of pride.

“Your daughter looks so bright and clever.

With those round and sparkly eyes, one can tell she’s quick-witted,” the store owner said, looking at Situ Xin with fondness.

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful child.” Saying so, she took a handful of candies from a bag and stuffed them into Situ Xin’s pocket.

Situ Haotian didn’t refuse but simply said to Situ Xin, “Baby, say thank you to Auntie.”

“Thank you, Auntie,” Situ Xin said sweetly and softly.

Surprised by how clearly Situ Xin spoke, the store owner asked, “How old is the child?”

“Oh, almost nine months old,” Situ Haotian replied to the middle-aged woman while bending down to ask Situ Xin, “Baby, do you want some candy?” He hadn’t missed the longing look his daughter gave the store owner’s candies just a moment ago.

“Yes, Baby wants,” Situ Xin replied, wanting to taste the difference between the candies of this era and those from later times.

“She can speak at nine months?

And she’s so articulate,” the store owner said, growing even fonder of Situ Xin.

“Hehe, the old folks at home started teaching her early,” Situ Haotian didn’t claim his daughter was exceptionally intelligent.

He had never heard of a child who could speak at six months in this world.

He didn’t want to draw any trouble to his daughter.

He only wished for her to grow up happily.

“Brother, eat.” Situ Xin wanted to divert from this topic, so she deliberately changed the subject.

After all, the milky candy in her mouth tasted quite good.

Following Situ Xin’s voice, the store owner finally noticed Situ Jin and Situ Che, who were following behind Situ Haoran.

Seeing the two handsome guys, one tall and one small in front of her, the store owner’s attention shifted from Situ Xin to them.

When Situ Xin was about to finish her candy, the clerk brought over the items that they had requested.

The store owner, holding the list Situ Haoran had given her, said, “Teacher, please check if all the items on the list have been brought out.”

Situ Haoran took the list, walked over to the pile, and checked meticulously.

“Yes, everything’s here.

Sister Lu, could you please tally up the total for me?”

The store owner worked the abacus with a series of clacks.

“One hundred and five yuan,” she announced, startling Situ Xin with the number.

Not because it was a lot, but rather the opposite.

Situ Xin had never expected such a large pile of items to cost just over a hundred yuan.

Although Situ Xin was aware that money was more valuable at the current time, the fact that one hundred yuan could buy so much took her by surprise.

She thought to herself, “I must find some books on economics in grandpa’s study when I get back.” She felt it was necessary to understand the current economic situation.

When Situ Xin and her group left, her pockets were stuffed with snacks; all of which were new to her.

Looking at the snacks in the bag, Situ Xin smiled with satisfaction.

As Situ Xin and the others reached their doorstep, they heard a voice from inside the house, “Who might be coming to our house at this time?” Situ Haotian said, holding a large box.

As the people inside heard the noise outside, they said, “It sounds like they’re back.”

Upon entering the house, Situ Xin saw the living room couch filled with people from both the Situ Family and the Loo Family.

Before she could make out who was who, she felt someone’s enthusiastic approach.

“This must be Baby, right?

Come, let your little uncle hold you.”

With that, the person snatched Situ Xin from Situ Che’s arms.

Situ Xin remembered this little uncle; she had seen him not long after she was born.

From the conversations she heard, she knew her little uncle rushed back home from abroad with his wife upon hearing his sister had given birth to a niece, eager to see her.

Though it was only once that Situ Xin had seen this little uncle, she often heard the family bring him up, especially her grandmother.

Moreover, every so often, a large package would arrive from him from abroad, mostly items for Situ Xin, like clothes, toys, and sometimes foreign snacks.

Situ Xin also knew that her little uncle was a man of resolve.

After graduating from university, he could have gone into politics as Old Master Loo wished, but he chose to go into business.

He even ventured abroad during a period when it was unfavorable to start a business in Country H.

Old Master Loo had hoped he would return humbled, ready to enter politics, so he did not provide any financial support.

But against all odds, he made a name for himself with his own abilities overseas.
