62 False Accusation
Xi Wan went to look for Su Xun, but he was no longer at the venue.
The system reminded her: [The antagonist has been invited to the VIP suite by the organizer to look at the auction items.]
âHeâs quite busy every day,â Xi Wan said.
The system said: [In fact, the antagonist usually doesnât come to such a small banquet. The organizer only sent you the invitation in the beginning with the intention of giving it a try. He even sent you the invitation in your own name in order to increase the success rate.]
Xi Wan came to a sudden realization. âSo, thatâs how it is.â
Since Su Xun was not at the venue, Xi Wan could not be bothered to look for him. She simply ate a plate of pastries on the table.
She was enjoying her food when Xiao Zhe walked over again. Xi Wan felt physically nauseated the moment she saw him and she almost vomited the pastries she had just eaten.
Xiao Zhe was standing beside Xi Wan, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, but he did not drink it even after a long time.
Xi Wan quietly distanced herself from him but Xiao Zhe continued pressing on step by step. He was like a malignant tumor that wanted nothing more than to grow on Xi Wanâs body.
She could not help but say, âBoss Xiao, I think Iâve made myself clear enough. You donât have to keep following me.â
Xiao Zhe finally finished the red wine in his hand in one gulp, as if he wanted to use the alcohol to boost his courage.
âXi Wan, I will double your benefits as long as you agree to continue working with the company.â
Xi Wan stared at Xiao Zhe for a long time and finally summed everything up with a few words, âThereâs something wrong with you.â
The system was also very puzzled. The second male protagonist should hate Xi Wan very much so why was he so friendly to her the moment they met? Not only did he mention the cancellation of the liquidated damages for the breach of contract, but he also kept chasing Xi Yan, hoping that she could continue to collaborate with the company.
Xiao Zhe had actually expected Xi Wan would reject him, but he had never expected her rejection to be with just a few words.
Moreover, she even cursed at him.
The system reminded Xi Wan once again: [No matter what it is, youâre still a public figure so you canât speak openly without thinking. If someone with ill intentions hears you, they will come up with an article to slander you again.]
Just as the system was talking, a figure rushed over, fell to the ground with a thud and wailed, â wailing, âXi Wan, no matter what it is, Xi Shu is still your sister! As her sister, how could you bear to send her to the police station? I know you donât like Xi Shu and me so weâll disappear from your sight immediately as long as youâre willing to let Xi Shu off!â
Xi Wan jumped in shock. After taking a closer look at the person on the ground, she realized that she was Xi Shuâs motherâWang Rui.
Wang Rui and Xi Kang had been hiding in the warehouse passage but Xi Kangâs stomach was hurting, so he got up and went to the bathroom. Wang Rui received a phone call from Xi Shu during this time. She cried herself hoarse as she kept pleading with Wang Rui to find a way to save her.
Wang Ruiâs heart ached so much that she could not care about anything else, so she rushed out of the door and found Xi Wan.
She had already thought it through. As long as she made up some stories to frame Xi Wan, then regardless of whether the stories were true or false, Xi Wan would definitely agree to all her requests in order not to be embarrassed in public.
âI thought you didnât have an invitation? How did you get in?â Xi Wan only had one question about Wang Ruiâs appearance.
Li Yue, who was standing at the side, quietly hid in the crowd.
Wang Rui did not explain anything and cried even louder.
âWho is she?â Xiao Zhe asked.
This time, Xi Wan explained to him with a good-tempered manner, âMy dadâs mistress. I donât know why she came here to cry again.â
Wang Rui was still wailing, âXi Wan, do you know what the Xi family has become now because of you? Your brother left home because of you and still refuses to come back! You even want to frame your sister. How can you be so vicious? Youâve turned the Xi family into a mess and it doesnât even look like a family anymore!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xi Wan did not explain Wang Ruiâs words. Instead, she asked Xiao Zhe, âBoss Xiao, what do you think of my stepmotherâs acting? I think sheâs quite suitable for the role of those vicious mother-in-law characters.â
Xiao Zhe pondered for a while and actually replied to Xi Wan, âHer acting skills are a little exaggerated. She should restrain herself a little. Besides, her appearance does not meet my aesthetics so I wonât be using her for acting.â
Xi Wan nodded thoughtfully and said to Wang Rui, âDid you hear that? Stop acting, pack up and leave this place. If the organizers find out, Iâm afraid theyâll kick you out. You donât want to embarrass yourself, do you?â
Wang Rui was speechless but she could not leave.
