Chapter 17



Xi Wan did exactly as she said she would. Although her movements were somewhat reserved, she was fast and precise, and many dishes entered her stomach.

Su Xiu was originally discussing company matters with Su Xun, but when he noticed Xi Wan’s actions, he stopped the conversation and picked up a piece of fish for Xi Wan, putting it on her plate. “Here, try this and see if you like it.”

Xi Wan’s eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled. “Thank you, Grandpa.” When she ate the fish, she exclaimed, “Wow, it’s delicious! You’re so nice, Grandpa.”.

Su Xiu laughed even more heartily at her words and began his feeding plan. He gave Xi Wan every dish, and Xi Wan opted to humor him. She happily ate everything that he gave her, only stopping when she couldn’t eat anymore.

Su Xun was ignored the entire time this was happening, but when he saw Su Xiu’s happy expression, he felt that it didn’t matter as long as the old man was happy.

If Xi Wan could keep making the Old Master happy, he didn’t mind giving her some help.

When it was time for them to leave, Su Xiu was still talking to Xi Wan. She generously expressed that he would come back to see Su Xiu soon, and only then did he let them leave.

When they returned to the car, Xi Wan’s smile disappeared. She was completely silent, quite different from when she was in front of Su Xiu.

Su Xun was shocked by her sudden change in expression, but he remained calm on the surface. ” I don’t care if you’re trying to please the Old Master or not. If you can keep making him happy, I’ll give you some benefits—if you want to invest, I can give you the money. If you want to act, I can give you the role of the female lead. I have all the endorsements you want.”

“I have top clothing experts and designers here. However, you can’t do anything disruptive, you must always remember your identity, and you can’t do anything that will embarrass the Su family.”

Xi Wan knew that Su Xun was hinting at her relationship with Ling Feng. However, when she heard what he said, she was really moved. She knew that the Su family was powerful, but she didn’t expect them to be this powerful!

She immediately put on her signature smile. “Of course. Don’t worry; no matter how much Ling Feng pesters me, I won’t bother with him. If he likes me, then I’ll let him be single. After all, compared to him, I like your face more.”

The corners of Su Xun’s mouth twitched and he stopped talking.

The system was anxiously watching the exchange. [Host, you can shut up if you don’t know how to talk. Who would be happy to hear that you like them just because of their face? Oh no…you’ve already offended Ling Feng, so don’t tell me that you’re going to offend Su Xun too?!]

[Host, you’re really something…How did I end up with such a dumb host like you! ]

Xi Wan grinned at the system. “You’re not human. You don’t understand at all. I think Su Xun is very satisfied with me.”

[Are your eyes okay? How can you tell that he’s satisfied with you? I’m not convinced of anything else but your confidence, frankly! ]

Xi Wan could not be bothered to waste her breath on the system after that. She put on her earphones and started listening to music.

This driver was really good at driving.

Seeing that the person next to her had closed her eyes to rest, Su Xun glanced at her.

He found that she was particularly relaxed when facing him, as if she really treated him as one of her own.

He clenched his fists tightly as he recalled the events in his mind. Some things seemed to have changed. For example, when she came to visit the old man in their previous life, Xi Wan had not been nearly as enthusiastic and did not know how to make tea at all. Could it be that she had a different experience?

Su Xun’s expression was pensive, as if he was thinking about something.

At this time, Xi Wan, who was in a deep sleep, had no idea that Su Xun had already begun to suspect her. She was still immersed in her beautiful dream.

Su Xun turned on his phone and searched for Xi Wan’s name. Everything he found was about her retiring from the industry. Some news articles even said that Xi Wan was originally competing for the female lead role in the crew of Prosperous Like a Dream, but played tricks behind Jiang Ran’s back, so the director and producer of the crew were unhappy and kicked Xi Wan out of the crew.

There was also news that Jiang Ran had already been chosen as the female lead.

He then swiped down the screen to look at some comments these people were making about Xi Wan.



Su Xun’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

Even if he didn’t care about Xi Wan, she was still the wife of the Su family. How could he allow the people on the internet to lambast her like that?
