“Miss Cheng, on the other hand, you were neither in the same school nor class as us at that time. Why can you remember these details so clearly? Moreover, so many years have passed so why do you still want to talk about it?”
Xi Wan tried to investigate this matter with Ling Feng, “Perhaps she really wants to drink that bottle of drink?”
“I don’t want to drink that drink!” Cheng Shi’s face turned red with anger.
Cheng Shi was on the verge of going berserk as she jumped around repeatedly and questioned loudly, “Then how do you explain the matter of going abroad two months ago?”
“Miss Cheng, have you never been abroad since you were a child?” Xi Wan asked sincerely.
“Haha!” Xiao Zhe had been pretending to look elsewhere but in reality, he was listening attentively. After hearing this, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Everyone’s eyes turned to him. Xiao Zhe clenched his fist and covered his mouth. After relieving the awkwardness, he said, “It’s just that I haven’t heard such a fun story in a long time. I wonder if I have the honor to sit down and listen to it with you guys?”
“Of course, you can.” Xi Wan moved to the side, deliberately leaving a space between her and Ling Feng, saying, “There’s room here. Sit here.”
Ling Feng subconsciously wanted to sit next to Xi Wan. He would just let Xiao Zhe sit next to him at most. However, Xiao Zhe saw through Ling Feng’s thoughts at a glance, so he took a step forward and immediately sat between Xi Wan and Ling Feng, separating the two of them far away.
Ling Feng really wanted to scold him, “Is there something wrong with you?”
Ling Feng looked at Xiao Zhe with a smile, “Top Actor Xiao, you have good skills.”
Xiao Zhe also replied generously, “Young Master Ling, you flatter me.”
Xiao Zhe’s participation made the originally awkward atmosphere even more tense.
However, Xi Wan continued to sit at the side, eating the pastries on her plate expressionlessly. She even said to the waiter, “Give me another plate. I’m going to finish this one.”
The expressions of the ladies changed from fear to admiration, and there was even a hint of curiosity.
Mrs. Su-oh, no! Miss Xi!
This was the true strength of an expert, who could remain unfazed even if there was a big matter unfolding before her!
Cheng Shi was speechless for a long time while Xi Wan looked up at her. “Why aren’t you saying anything anymore, Miss Cheng?”
Cheng Shi was already in a mess and the words she had organized were also in a mess. She could only sneer and say, “What’s the use of me saying more? Aren’t you still going to continue twisting the truth here? But you can only be stubborn for a while now. I’ll see what you’ll do when Chairman Su finds out about this matter.”
“Are you really not going to say anything?” Xi Wan’s gaze turned cold as she threw the half-eaten pastry back onto her plate and said, “If you don’t want to say it, I’ll say it then.”
Cheng Shi was a little surprised. What did Xi Wan want to say?
Could it be that she still wanted to defend herself at this point?
Xi Wan cleared her throat and said according to the script given by the system, “Ling Feng and I have known each other for a long time. When I was six years old, he took me to the wishing well to make a wish. He said that he wanted me to be healthy forever. When I was nine years old, he brought me to climb a tree. In the end, I couldn’t get down from the tree. He tried to carry me down, but he fell down instead and broke his bones. When we were twelve years old, we went to the same school. His grades were very good but mine were very bad. He always sacrificed his rest time to help tutor me. Later on, we even got into the same high school and the same university. We even acted in a play at the school anniversary party…”
When Ling Feng heard this, he was very touched. He did not expect Xi Wan to still remember.
The memories that Xi Wan mentioned instantly brought him back to his youth. It turned out that his days in the Ling family were not completely dark. Xi Wan accompanied him through everything he experienced.
After Xi Wan finished talking about her past with Ling Feng, she looked directly at Cheng Shi and changed the topic, “Then tell me, if Ling Feng and I have been childhood sweethearts for so many years, why didn’t I marry him?” Everyone was stunned.
That’s right. If the two of them were so close, they should have gotten married long ago.
When Cheng Shi heard Xi Wan talk about those memories, her heart ached so much that it was bleeding. She said without hesitation, “That’s because you’re vain and only got married for money!”
After she said that, she felt that her attack was not strong enough. Just as she was thinking about how to remedy the situation, Xi Wan unexpectedly nodded her head and expressed her affirmation, “You’re right.”
Cheng Shi’s anger was instantly extinguished.. “Am I right?”
