Chapter 222: Surprise That Was Delivered the Door
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation??? Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xi Wan went for a walk in the garden as usual. The employees she met on the way greeted her warmly.
“Hello, Madam.”
“Good morning, Madam!”
“Good morning, Madam. The flowers over there have bloomed. You can go and take a look.”
Xi Wan walked to the side of the flower bushes. The flowers that were carefully taken care of were indeed blooming very well. There were a few butterflies flying and stopping on the flowers.
[It’s time for work, host.] The system said.
Xi Wan looked confused. Before she could ask the system what the job was, Chen Tong came to look for her.
Chen Tong smiled and said, “Madam, a lady called Wu Xing is here to pay you a visit.”
“Let her in.” Xi Wan understood what the system meant when she heard the name. She walked to the swing under the tree and sat down.
Xi Wan sat on the swing and shook her feet. “System, look, life is full of surprises.”
The system ridiculed: [Host, I’m afraid that other than you, no one else in this world will treat a person who comes to find trouble as a surprise.]
The system was wrong. Wu Xing was here to apologize.
Actually, she did not want to come at all, but her parents kept asking her if she had offended someone important outside. Recently, her familys companys business was not doing well.
Faced with her parents’ questions, she really could not take it anymore and told them what happened at the birthday banquet.
As expected, she got a scolding from her father.
“How did I raise such a stupid daughter like you? You might as well die of stupidity!” Wu Xings father became angrier as he spoke. In the end, he smashed his favorite cup. “Is Su Xun someone you can provoke? Before you went, I repeatedly reminded you to stay away from him, but you didn’t listen at
Xi Kang, that fellow who could not even handle his own family affairs, had already withdrawn from the management of the company and could no longer be relied on by his family.
Of course, they had to hurry up and find a new backer.
Xi Wan and Su Xun’s relationship was obvious to all and Xi Wan also had a lot of assets in her hands. So, of course, she became the best candidate to support their family.
Even though Wu Xing usually addressed Xi Kang as uncle, she could not bring herself to flatter Xi Wan, whom she had always looked down on and even bullied in secret.
However, Xi Wan was now someone that everyone was trying to curry favor with.
Moreover, Wu Xing did not think that there was anything wrong with her treating Xi Wan the same way she did in the past.
Even after being suppressed by the Su family, she did not feel that she had done anything wrong at her best friend’s birthday banquet. In Wu Xings heart, she felt that Xi Wan should not have married so well!
Wu Xing even blamed her own parents, thinking that her parents were disappointing. Otherwise, why couldn’t she marry Su Xun?
Wu Xing was invited in. The weather had been very hot recently. She had only waited outside the door for a while, but her body was already covered in a thin layer of sweat.
When she saw Xi Wan swinging on the swing under the shade of a tree, she was even more furious.
She stiffly addressed Xi Wan as her ‘cousin’.
“Hi, Cousin.” Xi Wan smiled and greeted her. “It’s such a hot day, don’t bask in the sun. Come over here and have a seat. Drink some fruit juice to cool off.”
Although Xi Wan invited Wu Xing to sit at the place where the fruit juice was placed, she had no intention of getting off the swing and continued swinging on her swing.
Wu Xing did not understand how Xi Wan could still be so welcoming to her after the way she treated her the last time.
She thought that even if Xi Wan did not do anything to her, she should not be so nice to her, but… why was she so enthusiastic?
Xi Wan asked with a smile, “What’s the matter, Cousin?
When Wu Xing saw Xi Wan being so amiable, she continued to treat Xi Wan as the Xi Wan whom she could bully easily in the past. She felt a trace of contempt in her heart.
Wu Xing smiled and said, “Cousin, please don’t take what happened at the birthday banquet to heart. I said something wrong. When I got home, I felt guilty. I was afraid that you would be affected by those words. Dad and Mom also said that I shouldn’t have done that. I finally gathered my courage to come and see you today. Cousin, do you still blame me?
“Of course, I won’t blame you.” The smile on Xi Wan’s face did not change, but her tone became even more excited.. “On the contrary, I have to thank you!”
