70 School Anniversary
Xi Wan went upstairs and said to the system, “I’ve already put down my pride but he’s not even willing to invest in me and you still want me to please him? It’s impossible!”
The system was exasperated. [But you should be able to see that the antagonist is hesitating, right? He might really invest in you if you insist!]
Xi Wan refused flatly, “I won’t insist.”
The system: [Xi Wan, you really don’t listen to my advice at all!]
!!
She went back to her bedroom and planned to have a good night’s sleep after washing up when she suddenly received a message from Xi Ze.
The message was edited to the point where it was incoherent. Xi Wan read it for a long time but could not tell what Xi Ze wanted to say. She simply called him and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Xi Ze was silent for a long time and Xi Wan almost hung up the phone. Xi Ze then said awkwardly, “Well, our school is having a school anniversary next weekend. Can you come?”
Xi Wan thought for a moment and felt that this was no different from attending an ordinary reception. She would treat it as a parent-teacher meeting for Xi Ze, so she said, “Sure, I don’t have anything to do anyway.”
However, Xi Ze was not very excited. Instead, he hesitated to speak again as he said, “Besides you, you also need to bring that person over.”
Xi Ze really could not address him as ‘brother-in-law’. Even when he addressed Xi Wan as his ‘sister’ back then, it was not sincere.
However, even though he did not mention it directly, Xi Wan still knew who he was talking about. She could not help but felt a little puzzled. “Are you sure you want me to bring Su Xun there? Why do you have such a strange request for your school’s anniversary celebration? Do you want to bring your family members?”
Xi Ze paused for a moment and then explained, “Su Xun graduated from our school. With his achievements today, our school will definitely invite him. So, it doesn’t make a difference whether he comes by himself or with you.”
Xi Wan sat up from the bed and said in shock, “Su Xun is a student from your school?”
As soon as Xi Ze heard this, he knew that Xi Wan had never tried to understand Su Xun. So, he could not help but start to worry about Xi Wan’s love life from the bottom of his heart.
He solemnly introduced Su Xun’s glorious history, “He’s the most outstanding student in the law department in our school. After graduation, he went abroad to study for a master’s degree for a year. After returning home, he took over Su Group and has achieved his achievements today.”
Xi Ze thought that after he said this, Xi Wan would express her admiration for Su Xun’s past. However, he only got one question from Xi Wan. “Su Xun was from the law department and not the finance department in the university?”
What kind of strange setting was this?!
Although Xi Ze found it strange, he still explained, “No, he’s not. Even though both the finance and mathematics departments wanted to take him in as a student, he still went to the law department in the end.”
“Oh my God, I always thought he was studying finance. I didn’t expect him have studied law instead?” Xi Wan muttered to herself.
Xi Ze was dumbfounded. “You’re already married to him, so he’s your husband. You don’t even know what your husband’s major was in university?”
“I don’t know. Why would I want to know about his major even if I’m idle and have nothing to do?” Xi Wan spoke with confidence.
Xi Ze was a little speechless but he still said, “It’s settled then. You two can just come over when the time comes.”
With that said, he hung up the phone as fast as lightning, as if Xi Wan had already agreed to his request as he adhered to the principle of ‘as long as I hang up fast enough, I won’t hear your rejection’.
After Xi Ze hung up the phone, Xi Wan still hadn’t reacted. She asked the system, “Su Xun is really a student from Xi Ze’s school?”
The system flipped through Su Xun’s character information and said: [That’s right, what Xi Ze said is true. Besides, he wanted to go to another university at the beginning. That university was better than this one, but I don’t know why he didn’t go.]
“Compared to this, I want to know why he didn’t major in finance? In novels about overbearing chairmen, the chairman usually majors in finance.” Xi Wan was puzzled.
The system did not understand either. Although it knew the detailed information of the character in this world, it could not perceive the character’s own thoughts. However, the system thought for a moment and said: [But this is a good opportunity. You can take this opportunity to understand the antagonist and then go into his heart! This will also be very beneficial for your future life.]
Xi Wan turned off her cell phone as if she did not hear the system and said, “It’s time to sleep!”
She covered herself with the blanket, closed her eyes, and fell asleep in just five minutes.
The system replied: [Aren’t you going to try at all?]
