Mrs. Cheng said sarcastically, “What a good dog! I didn’t expect your master not to stand up for you even though you were barking!”
Xi Wan’s expression remained unchanged as she held her teacup. “Where did that barking come from? Why can’t I hear it? But I seem to be hearing a crow chirping non-stop. Mrs. Cheng, what do you think is going on?”
“You!” Mrs. Cheng did not expect Xi Wan to be so sharp-tongued. She was so angry that her chest heaved in anger. She was clearly furious.
“Okay, stop it already.” Xi Wan waved her hand impatiently, “Haven’t you heard of the saying ‘Wasting other people’s time is tantamount to killing or robbery’? You guys have nothing better to do than to find trouble all day long, but others aren’t willing to accompany you!”
When Xi Wan saw Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Shi’s embarrassed and angry faces turning as red as pig liver, she added, “Have you finished looking at the company’s accounts? Are you filial enough to your parents-in-law? Have you investigated whether your husband is having an affair behind your back? You seem to be really bored every day. If you want to cause trouble, you can go back home and cause trouble at home. It’s rare for us to be able to come on vacation at the villa and everyone still wants to gossip and eat delicious food!”
Mrs. Tang laughed happily at Xi Wan’s eloquence and added some herbal tea to
Xi Wan’s teacup. “Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to Mr. Su’s help that Mr.
Tang was able to successfully push this resort project forward!”
“No wonder she mentioned Su Xun just now.” Xi Wan said to the system as she listened.
The system said to her: [Although this holiday villa was a project specially proposed by the Tang family company for transformation, the Su family is the biggest investor in the villa. The perfect progress of this project is all thanks to the Su family’s strength.]
Mrs. Tang was obviously changing the topic with her words. The others present immediately echoed and tacitly isolated Mrs. Cheng and her daughter.
“Mrs. Su, you don’t know this but Mrs. Tang has been saying that she wants to thank you and Mr. Su. She invited you over as soon as the villa opened!”
“Yes, that’s right. Mrs. Tang originally wanted to invite you and Mr. Su but Mr.
Su is overseas, so she could only invite you!”
“I see. Thank you, Mrs. Tang.” Xi Wan’s expression did not change.
Mrs. Tang thought that Xi Wan was unhappy that she had invited Mrs. Cheng and her daughter. She immediately became nervous. “Madam, don’t take what just happened to heart. It won’t happen again. Mr. Su might have wanted to give Madam a surprise, so he didn’t tell you about this. It seems that my invitation to you in advance has disrupted Mr. Su’s plan.”
Xi Wan nodded indifferently. She only wanted to eat another bowl of cold noodles. This matter relating to Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Shi could forcefully be considered as having fun, so it did not affect her good mood.
She did not care if Su Xun did not tell her about this. It was good that she could come and play in the end. The cold noodles made by the former head chef of the state banquet made her happier.
Cheng Shi was unwilling to accept the fact that everyone was flattering Xi Wan, and she said with an ugly expression, “Mr. Su probably doesn’t even talk to her about work. She’s just a flower vase to him.”
Mrs. Cheng was stunned. For the first time, she felt that her daughter was really extremely stupid!
Xi Wan waved at Mrs. Cheng and her daughter. “Don’t sit so far away. It’s hard to talk if you’re too far away.”
The ladies present, including Mrs. Cheng and her daughter, did not understand what Xi Wan was trying to do.
Mrs. Cheng and her daughter looked at Xi Wan and did not dare to move. They felt that this was a trap.
The two bodyguards standing behind Xi Wan were like two massive mountains, giving them a sense of oppression.
The two bodyguards nehind Xi Wan immediately understood her intentions as soon as she glanced at them. They each pulled out a chair and said in a deep voice, “Mrs. Cheng, Miss Cheng, please.”
Mrs. Cheng and Cheng’s Shi’s heart trembled after being called upon like this. Cheng Shi closed her eyes and revealed an expression of facing death unflinchingly. She took the lead and walked over.
Her steps were fierce and vigorous but she almost sprained her ankle when she reached her seat.
“Miss Cheng, you’re too polite. There’s no need for you to bow before me like this.” Xi Wan said to Cheng Shi in a good mood.
Cheng Shi lost her balance and held onto the chair so she did not fall. However, she inadvertently bowed to Xi Wan because of this.
‘ Cheng Shi’s teeth were about to break. After taking a deep breath, she revealed a victorious expression. However, the protruding veins on her forehead made her expression extremely distorted. “Mrs. Su, it’s hard to refuse your kindness. I happen to have something to ask you too.”
Xi Wan loved to see the people she hated suffer. She raised her hand as if she was giving alms, signaling for Cheng Shi to ask the question.
Xi Wan’s actions made Cheng Shi feel that she was a lowly beggar and her self-esteem was hurt..
