Chapter 16

After listening to his grandfather’s reprimands, Su Xun pursed his lips and explained, “Our marriage is a secret to the public. If we act rashly, I’m afraid that others will be suspicious.”

Xi Wan finished the tea in her cup and refilled Su Xiu and Su Xun’s cups. Then, she said with a smile, “Grandpa, it’s fine. I can solve this on my own. Besides, I’ve already left the entertainment industry. There’s no need to care about what other people say about me.”

“They’re just talking for fun. If I’m affected by their words and end up feeling sad, then they’ll be proud. The more they attack me, the more outstanding I want to become.”

Su Xiu felt even more satisfied when he saw how confident Xi Wan was.

The system could not help but remind her, [ Host, I’m asking you to complain to the old man and accuse Su Xun. What are you doing! ]

Xi Wan ignored its words.

“Are you really planning to leave the industry?” Su Xiu continued.

She nodded.

Su Xiu looked at Su Xun thoughtfully. “You’re at fault in this matter. If Wanwan likes acting, you should help pave the way for her. If it wasn’t for you, Wanwan wouldn’t have been forced to leave the industry.”

The system was dumbfounded. The Host had not even complained, so why was the old man blaming Su Xun?

Xi Jin said smugly. “This is the charm of language! Anyway, I’ve completed the temporary task you assigned me, right? Are there any benefits?”

[…]

It really couldn’t figure out where the plot was heading.

After taking a deep breath, the system said helplessly, [ Yes, I’ll give you a skin-beautifying pill to keep your skin in a good condition. It’ll be better than those female celebrities who spend eight-figure sums of money on beauty. ]

Xi Wan’s eyes lit up. “That sounds good. Quick, let me use it.”

The system said helplessly, [ I’ve already used it. I can’t tell for the time being because your skin is in good condition to begin with. Other people will have skin problems, but you don’t. ]

Xi Wan was instantly elated when she heard that.

At this time, Su Xun was not feeling good. His eye twitched. Why couldn’t this matter be resolved? Also, why was he the one being scolded?

Enduring Su Xiu’s condemning gaze, Su Xun had no choice but to say to Xi Wan, ” “Do you still want to return to the entertainment industry? If you want to go back, I’ll help you solve any problems you encounter.”

He had not made a move before, but once he did, these problems wouldn’t exist anymore.

Xi Wan waved her hand. “It’s okay. I’m not an artist anymore, but rather an investor. That way, I can earn money in the entertainment industry, and I also don’t have to be at the mercy of others. How great is that?”

Before Su Xun could say anything, the old man smiled and agreed. “Yes, that’s better. Wanwan is still the smartest.”

In fact, many people in their circle looked down on celebrities from the entertainment industry. It was a mess, and many people had to sacrifice something in order to get into the industry. Although Wanwan would not be subjected to unspoken rules in the industry with his grandson’s protection, it was still good to be able to stop being an actor and become an investor.

The Old Master was very satisfied with this.

Su Xun, on the other hand, was a little surprised. He had also seen news of Xi Wan’s retirement from the entertainment industry and thought that she couldn’t stand the hardships of the entertainment industry. He didn’t expect her to change her career entirely. She had improved a lot compared to her previous life.

The Old Master and the Young Madam chuckled as they spoke with each other, automatically ignoring Su Xun, who was sitting in the corner, still deep in thought. It was only when Uncle Lin appeared and said that the meal was ready that they stopped talking.

Xi Jin held onto Su Xiu’s arm and supported him as he walked. This time, they took the elevator down.

It was only then did she realize that there was an elevator installed in the villa. She glanced at Su Xun with some resentment. Since there was an elevator, why didn’t they take it up here earlier?

At this moment, Su Xun completely did not understand what Xi Wan’s gaze meant. His mind was in a mess.

Su Xiu looked at the interaction between the two and thought that they had a good relationship, so he smiled even more heartily.

WHen they reached the dining hall, Xi Wan sat down at the dining table and looked at the few dishes on it. Every one of them looked appetizing, and she couldn’t help but gulp at the sight.

Su Xiu noticed that Xi Wan’s eyes were fixed on the food. He wanted the youngins to eat more, so he smiled and said, “Eat more if you like the food. If you can’t finish it, you can take it away.”

Xi Wan’s eyes brightened. “Then I won’t hesitate.”

Su Xiu laughed out loud. “Alright, alright. Eat more.There will be enough!”
