729: Chapter 720 Almost Done (2)_1 729: Chapter 720 Almost Done (2)_1 Xiao Muli heard these words and a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.
What did Second Elder Master Xiao think he was, daring to call out his na behind his back, and in such a tone no less?
Accompanied by Gu Yong’s voice, Xiao Muli strode into the hall.
As soon as he entered, the place fell silent.
“What’s the matter?
It’s all quiet now that I’ve arrived?
I heard quite the commotion outside the door just now.
Oh right, I thought I heard my na ntioned outside, what were you discussing?
Share it with as well.” As Xiao Muli spoke, his eyes flitted intentionally over Second Elder Master Xiao.
The latter hadn’t expected that calling the Family Head by his na behind his back would be caught red-handed.
In this awkward mont, he didn’t know how to speak without offending Xiao Muli.
While Second Elder Master Xiao had his reservations, Gu Yong, seeing Xiao Muli’s triumphant deanor and thinking about the humiliation he had caused their whole family and the pressure he had put on the Gu Family, felt his dissatisfaction reach a peak.
“Xiao Muli, what about it if I called you by your na?
Isn’t a na given to be used by others?
Hmph, you’re just abusing your power as the Patriarch Xiao everywhere you go.” Gu Yong stood up straight and spoke resentfully.
“Young Master Gu speaks the truth.
Indeed, a na is given to be used by others; however, Young Master Gu, as an outsider to the Xiao Family, you’re unaware of our family’s rules.
The na of the Patriarch Xiao should not be directly addressed by mbers of the Xiao Family, unless one possesses enough strength.” After giving Gu Yong a cold look, Xiao Muli continued, “As for abusing my power, I wouldn’t suggest that you, Young Master Gu, also try to abuse your power.
However, there are particular ways to do it properly.” Xiao Muli then took his seat at the head of the table, reverting to his usual icy deanor.
“Now, speak up.
Why have you all co so early in the morning?
I don’t have much ti to waste here with you.” Xiao Muli had always been short on patience.
“Family Head, we are here again for the matter of selecting the Xiao Family’s principal mother.” Grandpa Xiao was the first one to step forward and speak.
“Oh?
I thought after seeing the information Baby provided, you would be too ashad to co and see again.” Xiao Muli said to Grandpa Xiao.
“Cough, well, we did see the information, and we were indeed shocked.
It’s our fault for not investigating properly before; this was our oversight.
However, when it cos to selecting the Xiao principal mother, Family Head, you must choose wisely.” After returning from the hospital and reviewing the materials, Second Elder Master Xiao and the others were so enraged they tossed the docunts away and spent the night scolding their sons and grandsons harshly.
“So, you’re bringing this topic up again.
Are you implying that the Xiao principal mother’s family background must be a match for our Xiao Family?
Hmph, are you still treating like a three-year-old that you can fool?
Do you think I’m unaware of the little sches in your hearts?” After pausing for a mont, Xiao Muli went on, “You’ve always used heritage as an excuse.
Let tell you, Baby’s family background goes far beyond the Xiao Family.
Should she wish, the Xiao Family would not last a minute longer in Country H.”
“How can that be possible?” The people present did not believe Xiao Muli’s words at all, or rather, they didn’t doubt that Situ Xin’s identity and family background could match the Xiao Family, but they didn’t believe that Situ Xin had the power to dictate the life or death of the Xiao Family.
“Believe it or not, that’s up to you.
I’ve said all I intend to.” Xiao Muli took a sip of water and found himself wondering if Situ Xin was awake yet, and what she would do once she got up.
He had barely been away from her for a while, and he already missed her.
“What are you two siblings here for?
I haven’t even settled the score with you yet, and you’re presenting yourselves on a silver platter?”
“Family Head, you, aren’t you targeting the Gu Family?
Wasn’t it you who made their stock prices plumt at the opening of the stock market this morning?” The son of Grandpa Xiao couldn’t help but speak up for Gu Yong.
“Oh?
Did the Gu Family’s stocks fall?” Even though Xiao Muli asked casually, he had an idea who was behind it.
He hadn’t expected that The Dark Division behind Situ Xin would act so quickly and effectively.
