Xi Wan could not help but sigh. She did not expect that after such a long time, Cheng Shiâs IQ still hadnât improved.
She had mocked her the last time for wearing an outdated dress, and this time, she was mocking her for eating pastries at the banquet.
It was all the same routine.
!!
Even if she knew it wouldnât work, she did not change her approach.
The systemâs tone was very deep: [You canât expect a personâs intelligence to grow in an instant.]
Xi Wan said, âBut youâve obviously made progress.â
The system laughed twice but halfway through, it suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Xi Wan asked Cheng Shi in a very calm tone, âWhatâs wrong with eating pastries without affecting others? The pastries didnât do anything wrong, right?â
âYouâre the one at fault for eating without the ownerâs permission,â Cheng Shi said.
âDonât tell me I have to get permission from the owner to eat these things?â Xi Wan asked her in confusion. âI didnât throw the pastriesâ crumbs into your mouth either.â
âHaha!â Someone could not help but laugh.
Mrs. Wang also wanted to laugh. Mrs. Su was really amazing.
She held back her laughter and said to Cheng Shi, âMiss Cheng, if weâre talking about being impolite, Iâm afraid itâs even more impolite for you to eavesdrop on others and interrupt them, right? Moreover, we didnât invite you to join us.
You just walked over and started to find trouble the moment you appeared. Isnât this even more rude?â
âI just canât stand people twisting the truth here. Theyâre just lying.â Cheng Shi crossed her arms in front of her chest.
The rich lady heard the meaning behind her words and looked at Xi Wan carefully.
Xi Wan patted Mrs. Wangâs hand gently and said, âMiss Cheng, since you can tell that youâre not welcome here, please leave quickly.â
Unexpectedly, Cheng Shi sat down and said, âEveryone here is invited by the
Tang family. Itâs not your place to say whether Iâm welcomed or not.â
None of the ladies expected that Cheng Shi would dare to do this. Even the system gasped: [This supporting actress is really crazy! ]
As soon as Cheng Shi sat down, she pointed at Xi Wan directly, âHow long have you been married to President Su?â
Xi Wan did not answer.
Cheng Shi did not need her reply and continued saying, âIf I remember correctly, two months ago, you and Ling Feng went abroad to play together.
The photos you two took together were quite intimate.â
The system recalled for a moment and confirmed Cheng Shiâs statement: [There is indeed such a thing.]
However, Xi Wan answered without batting an eyelid, âYou remembered wrongly.â
The system: [Huh?] n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Cheng Shi: âWhat?â
Xi Wanâs expression was so calm that no one present believed Cheng Shiâs words.
Cheng Shi, on the other hand, calmed herself down, and continued to say, âDid you rely on this appearance to fool Chairman Su? If you donât believe me, you can ask those kids. All of them can testify! Youâve been following Ling Feng around all day like a stalker. The whole grade knows that youâre pursuing him!â
The system interrupted: [Thatâs not entirely correct. Actually, Ling Feng has been looking for you more often. After all, your setting is the pretentious bitch, not a bootlicker, but itâs true that the whole grade knows that you two have a special relationship.]
The system wanted to see how Xi Wan would respond to Cheng Shi.
Xi Wan waved at the corner and said, âLing Feng, come here.â
In fact, Ling Feng had been paying attention to Xi Wan for a long time but after they parted on bad terms the last time, he could only watch her from afar and did not dare to get close.
Ling Feng did not really understand what Xi Wan meant when she said, âI hate scumbags and I hate mistresses even more.â But now, he completely understood what Xi Wan was thinking.
Ling Feng knew what kind of situation the Xi family was in.
Everyone said that Xi Wanâs mother was disappointing and died early. He was also a useless person who was bullied by an illegitimate daughter every day. Xi Wan had always turned a deaf ear to it, but once, this group of peopleâs ridicule even reached Ling Fengâs ears, saying that if he stayed with Xi Wan, he would be killed sooner or later.
Xi Wan lost her temper because of this.
âWhy did you do that?â Ling Feng asked her later.
Xi Wan replied, âBecause itâs not something you can choose. Itâs not your fault.â
How naive!
Xi Wan thought that Ling Feng was brought back to the Ling family because he had no other choice. Little did she know that in order to escape from his previous life, he carefully tried to curry favor with Mr. Ling and sow discord between his ruthless siblings.
It was not that Xi Wan did not care about these things at all, which was why she flew into a rage when she found out about Ling Fengâs actions..
