53 Media Gossip

Su Xun was dumbfounded. He found it more and more difficult to see through Xi Wan now.

“It’s getting late, it’s time to eat.” Xi Wan rubbed her stomach and walked into the kitchen. She suddenly saw an unfamiliar person who was wearing a chef’s uniform.

“Are you the new chef?” Xi Wan asked casually.

“Yes, Madam.” The chef’s name was Chen Tong and Su Xiu hired her at a high price.

!!

She had once won the championship in an international chef’s competition and she also majored in nutrition in university. Su Xiu took a fancy to this and that was why she had asked Chen Tong to come over to take care of Xi Wan and Su Xun.

“I’ll have a serving of braised pork then,” Xi Wan randomly ordered a dish. “I’ll go back and lie down for a while. You can just call me when you’re done.”

As she spoke, she turned to leave but Chen Tong stopped her and asked, “Madam! What about Mr. Su’s dinner? What kind of dish should I prepare for him?”

Xi Wan paused and said, “You can ask him about this directly. He can eat whatever he wants.”

“What?” Chen Tong was stunned. She did not expect Xi Wan to answer like this.

Logically speaking, didn’t wealthy wives such as Xi Wan like to instruct their servants to do things so as to highlight their identity as the mistress of the house?

Chen Tong froze in place. Xi Wan thought that she was afraid of Su Xun’s aura, so she asked Su Xun on her behalf, “What do you want to eat for dinner?”

Su Xun could not figure Xi Wan out so he did not want to eat at the same table with her. What’s more, he was not very hungry now so he said, “There’s no need to consider me, you can just eat.”

Xi Wan looked back at Chen Tong and said, “He said that he’s not eating. There’s no need to prepare his portion then.”

After she was done speaking, she trotted all the way back to her room.

Chen Tong went to cook with a blank expression.

What kind of interaction did Mr. And Mrs. Su have with each other?

After Xi Wan returned to her room, she wanted to turn on her cell phone and browse Weibo to see if anything new happened recently but the first hot search was actually related to her.

The title was—’Shocking news! Xi Wan actually had relations with three men.’

Xi Yan trembled and almost dropped her cell phone. She clicked on the link and saw that the first picture in front was a picture of her, Xi Ze, and Kong Shuo shopping together. The second picture at the back was a picture of her and Ling Feng sitting on a bench talking.

Xi Wan was speechless. “People these days really know how to come up with headlines and they also like to make up stories.”

When the system saw this, it really hated the fact that it could not act like a normal human being. Otherwise, it would have bought a bag of melon seeds to eat to watch the gossip. [You’re on the hot search again.]

Xi Wan asked, “Why does it look like you’re watching a good show? I’m your host. If something happens to me, you’ll be finished too.”

The system was also quite optimistic. [No, my performance will be a little lower at most but the rest will not be a major problem.]

Xi Wan was silent. After a long time, she said, “Su Xun should know about this, right?”

[Of course, he knows. He has eyes and ears everywhere so how could he not know?] The system said: [But he hasn’t settled the score with you yet. Perhaps he’s waiting for you to go and explain things to him personally. Listen to me, go to him now and explain this matter clearly to him so that you can take adavantage of this opportunity to get closer to the antagonist.]

“I’m not going.” Xi Wan turned off her cell phone. “I’m not afraid of rumors when I did nothing wrong! Why should I care about that group of people? I can only say that Su Xun is a fool if he believes the content fabricated by these marketing accounts.”

The system protested: [The antagonist may not believe it but the netizens will! You don’t want the image you’ve just built to collapse in an instant, do you?]

“If I explain things to Su Xun, will he come forward to help me solve this matter?” Xi Wan retorted.

The system was silent for a moment before it said: [Not necessarily.]

“Then it’d be a waste of time for me to explain things to him.” Xi Wan said, “It doesn’t matter if he believes me or not. I’ll settle this matter myself.”

[How are you going to settle it yourself?]

“You don’t have to worry about that.” As Xi Wan spoke, she thought of something and asked, “Zhao Fei also has a system so can’t the two of you sense each other?””

[No, her system is the plug-in category and I am an auxiliary category. Everyone’s classification is different so how can we sense each other?] The system said.

“That’s true.” Xi Wan nodded thoughtfully. “But I don’t think it’s a big deal even if you can sense it. You won’t give me any cheats anyway so you won’t be a threat even if you’re discovered.”

[How can you say that!] The system felt that the words of its host, Xi Wan, were really heart-wrenching!

Xi Wan looked at her cell phone for a while before Chen Tong came over and called her, “Madam, it’s time to eat.”

“I’m coming!” Xi Wan stood up immediately and went out to eat.

Su Xun was still dealing with work in his study room. Xi Wan did not care and simply ate by herself.
