“Ms. Guan, you should know the tabloids were the ones making it up.” Instead of getting worked up, Su Muyan calmly put forth the facts. “We, as celebrities in the entertainment world, are in the public eye. We should get used to it. If you’re angry about it, you should gather evidence and sue the press for defamation.”
Guan Yue was stumped by his high-sounding statement. As expected from a second-generation celebrity who was brought up amid the glitz and glamor, even Guan Yue was humbled by his thick skin. She might have lost the battle, but she could win the war. She answered with a smile, “You’re right. I’ll think about it.”
The other mentors were uncomfortable by the tension in the air. Since everyone was in the same business, it would not reflect well on them to have a fall out, especially in front of the trainees.
Gu Yang was about to smooth things over when Mr. Xixi, who had been quietly sitting in his corner to enjoy his meal while minding his own business, suddenly spoke up. “Ms. Guan, if I remember correctly, Ms. Shu went to Su’s residence to look for Shen Xi, right?”
Guan Yue was dumbstruck, and it was not because she had nothing to say about it. She and Ms. Shu did not have the guts to reveal or bring up Shen Xi’s identity unless the person concerned said it herself.
For this reason, the Su family had the audacity to mislead the public by replacing Shen Xi with Su Ruowan. The part that Ms. Shu went to pay a visit to the Su family was true after all.
Following this remark, Su Ruowan dug her nails into the palm of her hands. The mention of this name sent her to a fit of resentment and jealousy.
It never occurred to Su Muyan that Mr. Xixi would know of Shen Xi. With bitterness in his eyes, he turned his attention to Mr. Xixi.
“Mr. Su, Ms. Shu went to meet the Su family for Shen Xi, am I right?” Shen Xi knew that Guan Yue was not talking for her sake. However, she did not mind it at all.
Stumped for words, Su Muyan’s expression turned grimacing. Although he was tempted to deny knowledge about a person named Shen Xi, he chose to put on a smile instead. “Mr. Xixi, do you know Shen Xi?”
He could not declare it untrue in case the fact came back to bite him. However, other than his family, only Ms. Shu Baiyu and Shen Xi knew about it.
Did Mr. Xixi know Shen Xi? Was he aware of her conflict with his family? It would only further complicate things if that was the case.
Meanwhile, Su Ruowan nervously stared at Mr. Xixi. Her heart sank to the pit of her stomach at the thought of the latter’s perfunctory attitude toward her.
Godd*mnit! It would explain why Mr. Xixi gave her such an attitude. Shen Xi, that b*tch must have badmouthed her in front of Mr. Xixi.
“No.” Shen Xi then dove back into her food without continuing the conversation.
Su Muyan could breathe a sigh of relief. It was good that Mr. Xixi did not know Shen Xi. Anyone close to Shen Xi would think of the Su family as the enemy. No. 4 High School’s international class and Jiang Yin were testimonies of that.
Mr. Xixi must have heard it from Ms. Shu Baiyu. After all, with a talent such as his, everyone would try to befriend him.
Su Ruowan’s clenched fists slowly loosened up. Nevertheless, the jealousy invading every inch of her body drove her mad, upset, and resentful.
This was the second time He Lu heard them talking about Shen Xi and since she was up to no good, she asked, “Oh, isn’t Shen Xi your younger sister?”
F*ck!
He Lu’s words nearly sparked Su Muyan to swear. He inquisitively glanced at Su Ruowan.
Biting her lip, Su Ruowan helplessly and apologetically sought Su Muyan for help. Following the last sighting of Shen Xi, she merely relayed this piece of information because He Lu refused to stop hounding her.
It never crossed her mind that He Lu the b*tch would use these words against her in public!
“Mr. Su?” Since Su Ruowan was not talking, He Lu turned to Su Muyan.
Shen Xi was Shen Feng’s cousin who pretended to be his girlfriend during a school reunion. He Lu later got word of their real relationship through her uncle.
She could not be sure of Su Ruowan’s answer the other day, so she got to work and found a dancing video of Shen Xi, confirming the facts to be true. Nevertheless, He Lu could not wrap her head around how Shen Xi became Su Ruowan’s sister.
In the next few days, He Lu made a few discreet inquiries to Song Wenye, but a dimwit like Song Wenye actually kept her mouth shut.
Backed up against a wall, Su Muyan had to bite the bullet and explain with a smile. Years of being in showbiz did help with his emotional projection. “Shen Xi is our distant relative. I guess you can say that she’s my sister. She stayed with us for a while.”
Guan Yue felt dismal and angry for Shen Xi’s sake.
She wondered if the Su family was indeed heartless for Su Muyan to have the cheek to twist the story around.
Shen Xi was clearly his blood sister but was made out to be a distant relative. The place was supposed to be her home, but she was only said to be staying with them.
Similar to Guan Yue, Song Wenye was so furious she could flip the table and kill a certain somebody. With bloodshot eyes, she gave Su Muyan a dirty look and ripped him up in her mind.
“What’s wrong?” Tong Kejun looked at her with worry. The look on Song Wenye gave her a jump.
“I’m fine.” Song Wenye huffed in rage. If these words could get to her, how would Shen Xi feel to hear it herself?
Shen Xi might have cut ties with the Su family now, but what about before?
Song Wenye and the rest of the class were not a fan of Shen Xi when she first transferred to their school. Surely, Shen Xi had picked up on gossip about her being in the same class.
The Su siblings were the center of Shen Xi’s life at the time. She had done a lot of things to please and impress the siblings. Shen Xi must be pining to be accepted into the Su family.
The hurt must have been bad for her to sever ties with the Su family.
Shen Xi, the person who was sympathized and wept for, was still enjoying her breakfast. She even took the time to whip out her phone to reply to a text message. [Shen Xi: I’m up and having breakfast. It’s soup dumplings and pumpkin porridge today.]
Guan Yue knew Shen Xi did not take to heart by the looks of her indifference and apathy. The person concerned may have long let it go, but it did not stop Guan Yue from feeling angry and heartbroken for her sake.
Sigh!
Never mind. She and Ms. Shu would treat her even better from now on.
As for the Su family, she shall wait for karma to clap back at them!
