The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 215 Baibai is a little tiger (2)_1

Situ Xin saw Old Deng’s action, and she had an idea. However, she didn’t care much, as there were some things that couldn’t be kept from Old Deng. Moreover, Situ Xin didn’t plan to hide herself all the time. She had to protect her own family, after all.

The dinner dishes were originally selected according to Old Deng’s usual preferences, but Old Deng still had his secretary add a few dishes that Situ Xin liked. Situ Che and Loo Jie were surprised that Old Deng could name their sister’s favorite dishes, but to Situ Xin, it was nothing unusual.

Because every time she visited the Deng Family, her favorite dishes would be on the dining table.

After the waiter left, Old Deng looked at Situ Xin with a chuckle and jokingly said, "Xiao Xin girl, you’ve got quite an extraordinary little cat pet there."

"Alright, Grandpa Deng, just ask whatever you want, no need to beat around the bush. It’s tiring for me as well as you. Oh, right, Baibai isn’t some pet cat, it’s a genuine Tiger," Situ Xin insisted, adding this at the end of her sentence at Baibai’s insistence.

"Oh? The one in your arms isn’t a little cat, but a little Tiger?" Old Deng was surprised by Situ Xin’s words, and the guards and secretary by Old Deng’s side immediately turned their eyes to Baibai in Situ Xin’s arms.

"That’s right, my master gave it to me to protect me," Situ Xin said without batting an eye.

When Old Deng heard that it was a gift from her master, he nodded, knowing that Situ Xin’s master was extraordinary, and that the Tiger he’d sent must also be special. "Your master has some real skills," he said, although Old Deng was quite curious about the specifics of Situ Xin’s master. But when he thought about how Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, Situ Xin’s own grandfather and maternal grandfather, weren’t aware of these matters, his curiosity as a godfather was even less likely to be satisfied. So he gave up on probing. "Xiao Xin girl, what else did your master teach you? I see that your abilities are quite exceptional. Not to mention your more sensitive perception, your medical skills alone are amazing," Old Deng commented with a bit of wonder.

"That’s right, my master taught me a lot of things. Aside from medical skills and martial arts, there’s music, chess, calligraphy, painting. He taught me all of them," Situ Xin said with feigned pride.

"Oh, is that so?" Old Deng suddenly became quite interested in what Situ Xin had said. "If it weren’t inappropriate today, I would really like to test your skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting," Old Deng hadn’t forgotten what he wanted to ask, "Xiao Xin girl, Grandpa Deng wants to ask you something, did you have something to do with that person laying motionless on the ground earlier?" Although Old Deng posed it as a question, his tone was quite affirmative.

On his way downstairs for dinner, Old Deng had thought through the incident and, based on his analysis, of those present, only Situ Xin was likely capable of it.

When they heard Old Deng’s question, Situ Che and Loo Jie both tensed up; they didn’t know if it was a good or bad thing that their sister’s involvement was known to Old Deng. Therefore, both of them looked at Situ Xin with anxious and expectant eyes.

As for Situ Xin, her face still wore a sweet smile, and there wasn’t the slightest change in her expression. Since she had acted, Situ Xin didn’t have much to worry about. "Yes, I did it," Situ Xin admitted frankly.

Old Deng was taken aback by Situ Xin’s straightforward answer. He had planned to press Situ Xin further to extract the information he wanted to know, but he hadn’t expected Situ Xin to be so direct, which made him swallow the words he was about to say.

Situ Xin saw Old Deng’s reaction and found it entertaining, which improved her mood considerably.

"Well then, young lady, can you tell Grandpa Deng how you did it?" Old Deng asked hopefully. His question was essentially what everyone present wanted to know. Even Situ Che and Loo Jie looked expectantly at Situ Xin.

"It’s quite simple, I injected him with a needle laced with anesthetic, and that’s how he ended up like this. I did it because I feared he might cause trouble, and now that he’s asleep, it’s less of a hassle," Situ Xin explained quite openly. What Situ Xin didn’t mention was that the Silver Needle’s anesthetic wasn’t the usual kind you find in hospitals; it was refined by her using medicinal materials from her space. This anesthetic was much more effective than ordinary ones; even a small amount could put a person to sleep immediately.

"You girl, why do you carry these things with you?" Old Deng hadn’t expected such an answer. And now, he was even more curious about Situ Xin, thinking who would normally carry Silver Needles, especially ones coated in anesthetic.

"Oh, didn’t I know that this trip wasn’t going to be smooth sailing? So I kept some things with me for self-defense," Situ Xin replied nonchalantly. Right then, Situ Xin’s stomach started to growl with hunger. She wanted to take something out from her space to snack on, but considering so many people were around, she had to endure the hunger.

"You knew this trip wouldn’t be smooth?" Old Deng was shocked once again by Situ Xin’s answer. In fact, everyone present, except for Situ Che and Loo Jie, was taken aback.

"Yeah, isn’t that obvious?" Situ Xin didn’t want to beat around the bush with Old Deng anymore as her stomach grumbled with hunger. She had never felt hungry like this before. "Grandpa Deng, since we’re all trusted people here, and you’re someone I trust, I won’t beat around the bush. This trip to Xiangjiang might be a secret, but is it really? I think you know that very well. And you’re also aware that many people hope something goes wrong with your visit. You have to know that if something happens to you in Xiangjiang, it won’t just affect the situation in our domestic political arena, it also concerns the relationship between our country and Country Y," Situ Xin said seriously, putting away her previous playful expression.

Hearing Situ Xin’s words, Old Deng’s expression also became solemn. His gaze at Situ Xin sparkled with a hint of brilliance. "Girl, did you analyze all this by yourself?" he asked with a gaze full of admiration toward Situ Xin.

Old Deng’s secretary and guard listened to Situ Xin’s words with their mouths slightly agape in astonishment, never imagining to hear such things from such a young girl. As for Loo Jie and Situ Che, they were hardly surprised by Situ Xin’s words, having grown accustomed to being astonished by her.
