Chapter 148: Matter of the Past

Xi Wan could not help but sigh. She did not expect that after such a long time, Cheng Shi’s IQ still hadn’t 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She had mocked her the last time for wearing an outdated dress, and this time, she was mocking her for eating pastries at the banquet.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 wouldn’t work, she did not change her approach.

The system’s tone was very deep: [You can’t expect a person’s intelligence to grow in an instant.]

Xi Wan said, “But you’ve obviously made progress.”

The system laughed twice but halfway through, it suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Xi Wan asked Cheng Shi in a very calm tone, “What’s wrong with eating pastries without affecting others? The pastries didn’t do anything wrong, right?”

“You’re the one at fault for eating without the owner’s permission,” Cheng Shi said.

“Don’t tell me I have to get permission from the owner to eat these things?” Xi Wan asked her in confusion. “I didn’t throw the pastries’ crumbs into your mouth either.”

“Haha!” 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, “Miss Cheng, if we’re talking about being impolite, I’m afraid it’s even more impolite for you to eavesdrop on others and interrupt them, right? Moreover, we didn’t invite you to join us.

You just walked over and started to find trouble the moment you appeared. Isn’t this even more rude?”

“I just can’t stand people twisting the truth here. They’re just lying.” 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. Wang’s hand gently and said, “Miss Cheng, since you can tell that you’re not welcome here, please leave quickly.”

Unexpectedly, Cheng Shi sat down and said, “Everyone here is invited by the

Tang family. It’s not your place to say whether I’m welcomed or not.”

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, “How long have you been married to President Su?”

Xi Wan did not answer.

Cheng Shi did not need her reply and continued saying, “If I remember correctly, two months ago, you and Ling Feng went abroad to play together.

The photos you two took together were quite intimate.”

The system recalled for a moment and confirmed Cheng Shi’s statement: [There is indeed such a thing.]

However, Xi Wan answered without batting an eyelid, “You remembered wrongly.”

The system: [Huh?]

Cheng Shi: “What?”

Xi Wan’s expression was so calm that no one present believed Cheng Shi’s words.

Cheng Shi, on the other hand, calmed herself down, and continued to say, “Did you rely on this appearance to fool Chairman Su? If you don’t believe me, you can ask those kids. All of them can testify! You’ve been following Ling Feng around all day like a stalker. The whole grade knows that you’re pursuing him!”

The system interrupted: [That’s 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 it’s 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, “Ling Feng, come here.”

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, “I hate scumbags and I hate mistresses even more.” 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 Wan’s 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 people’s ridicule even reached Ling Feng’s ears, saying that if he stayed with Xi Wan, he would be killed sooner or later.

Xi Wan lost her temper because of this.

“Why did you do that?” Ling Feng asked her later.

Xi Wan replied, “Because it’s not something you can choose. It’s not your fault.”

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 Feng’s actions..
