Chapter 5 Boyfriend Turned Brother-in-law

  • Zhuo Anran made a dash toward Mu Xitong to check on her injuries.
  • “You girls are such bullies!” Zhuo Anran yelled.
  • “She scolded me first.” Pei Shanshan was relentless.
  • “Anran, please don’t get the wrong idea. It’s all my fault,” Xiao Yufei explained with a soft and gentle voice.
  • “Yufei, why are you apologizing?” Zhou Yuqing was unconvinced.
  • “Xiao Yufei, stop faking it. Xitong already moved out from your home, so what more do you want from her? I will not go easy on you girls if you bully Xitong again,” Zhuo Anran threatened coldly.
  • Pei Shanshan and Zhou Yuqing could not help but feel guilty upon hearing what Zhuo Anran had said.
  • Everyone in college knew that Zhuo Anran’s family owned the Zhuo Group, which was not one to be messed with. Although their families owned businesses too, they were nothing compared to the Zhuo Group.
  • Looking at Zhuo Anran, Xiao Yufei had already cursed her countless times in her mind. However, she did not display any emotion on her face.
  • She had to put on the nicest, softest side of hers to everyone. She vowed to be crowned as the campus belle this year, despite the fact that Mu Xitong was crowned every year.
  • “Anran, let’s go,” Mu Xitong said in a placid tone.
  • “Okay.” Zhuo Anran nodded in agreement.
  • Seeing that Mu Xitong was about to leave, Xiao Yufei spoke up immediately. “Xitong, wait a minute.”
  • “What do you want?” Mu Xitong asked without turning. She had no intention of getting involved with the girl who was feigning her kindness.
  • “Daddy invited you to go back home as it has been quite some time since he last had a meal with you. Moreover, my fiancé is coming too,” Xiao Yufei said while looking shy.
  • Zhuo Anran tugged at Mu Xitong’s shirt.
  • Home? It had been more than two months since Mu Xitong had gone back home. Did her father finally want her to be back?
  • “Fine, I will go back home tonight.” With that, Mu Xitong grabbed Zhuo Anran and left.
  • Xiao Yufei broke into a meaningful grin after the two of them left.
  • “Yufei, isn’t your fiancé Mu Xitong’s boyfriend? I suppose she has no idea yet,” Pei Shanshan gloated.
  • “I wonder how she would feel tonight when she finally realizes that she is being fooled,” Zhou Yuqing commented triumphantly.
  • “Although Zhehao had chosen me, I still feel sorry for Xitong.” Xiao Yufei’s fair face was filled with remorse. However, her eyes were sparkling with rejoice.
  • “Yufei, you should not think of it that way. If Zhehao didn’t love you, he wouldn’t have chosen you.” Pei Shanshan quickly offered her advice.
  • “Exactly. You should not be overthinking. In the future, stop treating Mu Xitong so nicely. She is not worthy of that.” Zhou Yuqing shook her head. She was disgusted at Mu Xitong.
  • “Thanks, girls,” Xiao Yufei replied with a smile.
  • On the other side.
  • Zhuo Anran was cleaning Mu Xitong’s wound with a stern face.
  • Mu Xitong opened her eyes wide and pouted, and her eyes were glistening. She looked extremely cute in that way.
  • “Are you even an adult? You sure don’t look like one.” Zhuo Anran was impressed by how adorable she looked.
  • “Of course I’m not an adult. I haven’t celebrated my 18th birthday yet,” Mu Xitong countered with pouty lips.
  • “By the way, are you really heading home tonight?” Zhuo Anran asked in a worried tone.
  • Mu Xitong nodded her head and said, “Yes. After all, he is my father and he wants me to go home.”
  • “When did Xiao Yufei get a fiancé? Do you know?” Zhuo Anran asked curiously.
  • “How would I know anything? Anyway, I will know when I reach home,” she said indifferently.
  • “Oh yeah, how are Shao Zhehao and you lately?” Zhuo Anran asked with a smile.
  • “He has been quite busy recently. I haven’t met with him,” Mu Xitong replied with a grin.
  • Zhuo Anran lifted her finger and flicked her forehead!
  • “What are you doing?” Mu Xitong complained with pouted lips.
  • Zhuo Anran was happy to see her adorable face.
  • “Let’s get back to the lecture hall,” Anran suggested.
  • “Okay.” Mu Xitong nodded her head.
  • Time flew by and it was already night time in the blink of an eye.
  • Mu Xitong made it back home as scheduled. Standing before the gate of the villa, she felt out of place with her surroundings.
  • This was a luxurious private villa and it obviously belonged to someone rich. The fence was installed at a great height with brambles of rose intertwined. An expensive-looking sofa was placed in the middle of the courtyard. Slanted beams of sunlight shining on the courtyard accentuated the extravagance of the space.
  • Pulling open the door embossed with carvings, an even more luxurious-looking living room appeared in front of her. The space was designed in a magnificent and classy way. The decorations and ornaments were shiny and glittery. Everything in the living room brought out the affluence of the owner of the villa.
  • “Miss Xitong, you are back.” The butler welcomed her with joy.
  • “Uncle Li.” Mu Xitong greeted him with a sweet voice. “Come on in quickly,” Uncle Li answered with a smile.
  • As soon as she walked into the living room, she saw her father busy chatting with Xiao Yufei.
  • “Xitong, you are back.” Xiao Yufei acknowledged her presence with a grin.
  • “Come here quickly, your sister’s fiancé is going to be here soon,” Mu Xitong’s stepmother, He Yahui, said with a smile.
  • Mu Xitong ignored both of them and walked straight to her father, Xiao Sheng.
  • “Hi dad.” Mu Xitong addressed her father.
  • “Xitong, how could you be so rude? Why didn’t you greet your mother and your sister?” Xiao Sheng criticized sternly.
  • Mu Xitong could not help but to force out a bitter smile upon hearing her father’s words.
  • “Daddy, I only have one mother, and she has already passed away. On top of that, my mother did not give birth to any sister for me,” she clarified in a deep tone.
  • “You rascal!” Xiao Sheng yelled at her.
  • This was not the first time her father had spoken to her in such a tone.
  • He Yahui, who was standing aside, shot a meaningful look at Xiao Yufei. Xiao Yufei got it instantaneously.
  • “Daddy, it’s okay. My mother and I don’t mind.” Xiao Yufei assured her father magnanimously.
  • “Xitong, do you see that? Please learn from your sister.” Xiao Sheng pointed his finger at Xiao Yufei while speaking.
  • “Mr. Xiao, Miss Yufei’s boyfriend is here.” The butler walked inside at a brisk pace.
  • “Please invite him in,” Xiao Sheng immediately ordered.
  • Xiao Yufei walked toward her mother. The two of them stared at the man walking inside with a knowing look.
  • “Mr. and Mrs. Xiao, so sorry to make you guys wait.” A soothing voice was heard by those in the living room.
  • A good-looking man entered the living room shortly after.
  • He had fair skin and his facial features were delicate and pretty. His suaveness was tinged with a layer of gentleness and he gave out a complicated mixture of aura made up of different kinds of disposition. Within the complexity, he had an ethereal beauty which was one of its kind.
  • Any woman would be easily infatuated at the sight of him .
  • Pa!
  • Everyone looked toward the source of the sound. At some point in time, the glass in Mu Xitong’s hand had dropped to the floor. She stared at the man in front of her in consternation.
  • Staring at Mu Xitong, Xiao Yufei glided toward Shao Zhehao and held onto his arms intimately.
  • “Xitong, he is my fiancé.” Xiao Yufei made the introduction happily.
