Chapter 196: Family Banquet
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Even a fool like Xi Kang could tell. It was obvious how biased Su Xun’s parents were.
After the system flipped through all the information on Su Xun, it was also shocked: [The antagonist had an older brother!]
Xi Wan was shocked as well. “It’s fine if I don’t know, but as the system, you don’t know either?”
[Perhaps this is the important background information that is needed to advance the plot!] The system could not care less about being embarrassed and said excitedly: [Dear, you’re one step closer to the antagonist’s heart!] Xi Wan was speechless.
However, the word ‘still’ that Xi Zen mentioned just now seemed a little intriguing.
“Do you know anything about that incident back then?” Xi Wan asked Xi Ze.
Although her words were a little vague, with the topic in front of them, Xi Ze naturally knew that she was asking about the Su Nuo’s cause of death.
“Don’t you know?”
“I don’t know,” Xi Wan answered honestly.
Xi Ze lowered his voice again and said, “Actually, I heard it from someone else. It’s not really an inside story. Perhaps it’s different from the version you heard.”
“I haven’t heard of any version.” Xi Wan thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps it’s because I’m more obedient.”
Xi Ze was speechless.
How are you obedient?
After hesitating for a moment, Xi Ze said, “Some said that Su Nuo committed suicide but others say Su Xun accidentally killed his brother.”
When he said this, his voice was as soft as a mosquito’s squeak and his entire body was about to stick to Xi Wan. This was the first time he had talked about someone behind their backs, so he could not help but feel guilty. “But the second situation is obviously impossible. If that’s really the case, how could Su Xun’s parents let him take over Su Group then? Moreover, so many years had passed, and everything had been peaceful. The Su family had blocked this news and there were not even many photos of Su Xun in the outside world, let alone did anyone know that he had an older brother.”
Xi Wan wanted to say, “It’s not only you who do not know, even the system did not know.”
The system immediately crashed.
“I’ll remember what you said. I’ll be careful tomorrow night.” Xi Wan said, “I’ll get Chen Tong to prepare something for you so that you can bring it back.”
Even though Xi Ze refused, Xi Wan still insisted on letting him take it away.
After Xi Ze left, Xi Wan said to Chen Tong as she went upstairs, “I’ll go back to the main residence for dinner tomorrow night so you can make the arrangements for yourself. Also, help me choose a gift for three people.”
Chen Tong was a little stunned.
“Yes,” Xi Wan replied. “Su Xun’s parents had returned and I’m going to attend a family banquet tomorrow.”
Chen Tong was even more puzzled. She had never heard of a family banquet where only the daughter-in-law was present but not the son.
Xi Wan returned to the bedroom and was about to fall asleep.
The system instantly turned on its computer: [How can you sleep at this time? Aren’t you anxious?]
“What’s the hurry?” Xi Wan answered in a daze. “We will just take things as it is when it comes.”
[Then what are you going to do about tomorrow?] Xi Wan: “Leave tomorrow’s matters to me tomorrow. I want to sleep now.” As soon as she finished speaking, Xi Wan fell asleep.
The next day, the system was even more excited than Xi Wan: [Ahhhh! It was already the second day! What should we do?]
“Let’s go to the dinner. What else can we do?” Xi Wan replied. She took the gift that Chen Tong had chosen and left with two bodyguards. Other than that, there was nothing else.
The main residence was still the same as the last time she came. There was not much difference. The only difference was that the flowers and plants in the courtyard were more lush.
There was also someone standing at the door, but it was not the butler. It was an aunt. When she saw Xi Wan, she immediately walked over and greeted her warmly, “You’re here! Sir and Madam had already returned and they are talking to the old master in the house.”
The system screamed: [She’s here! She’s here! She’s trying to intimidate you!
When you and the antagonist came back, she even called you two ‘Sir and
Madam!!]
Xi Wan: “Don’t say it. I also want to know how she should address me now that someone with a higher status is back.”
However, this aunt clearly did not understand what Xi Wan meant. After making a gesture, she said, “Please come in.”
Xi Wan went into the house without much interest.
A middle-aged couple sat on the sofa in the room. No wonder Su Xun’s appearance and temperament were so good. It turned out that his family was full of handsome men and beautiful women.
When Su Xiu saw Xi Wan enter, he quickly let the aunt take the things from her hands and said with a smile, “Wanwan, if you want to come, then come. Why did you bring a gift? We’re a family..”
