Chapter 228: Secrets of the Wealthy
Translator:?EndlessFantasy Translation??Editor:?EndlessFantasy Translation
The malice in Cheng Shi’s eyes could not be hidden. “I once heard someone say that Mr. Su and Mrs. Su’s marriage was in the name of a child betrothal to cheer up Old Master Su who is ill, right?”
When Cheng Shi said this, everyone could be said to be extremely shocked and the entire place was in an uproar.
Although the wealthy families had many secrets, very few people dared to say it directly in front of their faces. Cheng Shi’s actions made everyone present gasp in amazement.
But how did Cheng Shi know about this?
Other than Xi Wan, everyone present was shocked and began to doubt the authenticity of this matter.
After all, they all knew how well Su Xun treated Xi Wan. It was impossible for him to fake it.
However, Xi Wan and Su Xun’s marriage had indeed happened silently and abruptly. The Xi family could not compare to the Su family, whether it was in terms of wealth or background, so logically speaking, it was impossible for Xi Wan to marry Su Xun.
Besides, Old Master Su’s health had not been very good recently. After analyzing it, Cheng Shi’s words were very likely true!
Everyone analyzed the situation in their hearts for a while. A few ladies could not help but exchange glances with each other.
Cheng Shi saw the scene of the ladies looking at each other and could not help but feel smug. She felt that she had already grasped Xi Wan’s weakness. She raised her chin and said to Xi Wan, “Besides, Miss Xi Wan and Mr. Su’s marriage is actually just to let Old Master Su recuperate in peace. You and Mr. Su are only working together to put on a show for Old Master Su and the outsiders. Am I right, Xi Wan?”
After the system heard Cheng Shi’s words, it could not help but wonder if she had a cheat or if she had been reborn like the antagonist. [How did Cheng Shi know so much?]
Otherwise, an ordinary person like Cheng Shi would not know so much.
Xi Wan thought of a possibility, and there was only one possibility, “If I’m not mistaken, it should be Zhao Fei who told her.”
[But aren’t Cheng Shi and Zhao Fei on opposite sides? How could Zhao Fei tell her all this?] The system was surprised.
Xi Wan did not need to guess to know why. “Su Xun is very likable.”
The system did not understand: [What do you mean?]
“According to the plot, it’s true that the two of them will be enemies, but the prerequisite is that Xi Wan is still the same Xi Wan from before, and now… I’m Xi Wan, and I’m Su Xun’s beloved wife.” Xi Wan explained to the system with a smile, “As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Zhao Fei naturally thought of joining forces with Cheng Shi!”
When Xi Wan thought of this, she could not help but felt a little excited. She said to the system, “How exciting. Someone wants to join forces to target me!”
C…] The system was looking at Xi Wan as if she was a pervert.
It was rare for Cheng Shi have the advantage over Xi Wan with her words. Just as she was about to continue mocking her, a cold voice came from behind her before she could speak.
“Who’s talking nonsense?”
The moment Mrs. Cheng heard this voice, she trembled reflexively. She was most familiar with this voice. It was Sun Yao’s voice!
Everyone turned around and saw Sun Yao walking over with a cold expression on her face. She was the one who had spoken.
Sun Yao was the daughter of the Sun family. Mrs. Cheng had competed with her many times because of their close family background, but she could not compare to her in anything. Therefore, Mrs. Cheng had made a fool of herself in front of Sun Yao many times in the past.
Later, when Sun Yao married Su Shi, she even moved further ahead of Mrs. Cheng. No matter how jealous Mrs. Cheng was, she could not shake Sun Yao’s status in the slightest.
Later, when she heard that Sun Yao’s eldest son had died, Mrs. Cheng was happy for a long time. She was happy that there was finally something that could hit Sun Yao.
Mrs. Cheng was right. Ever since Sun Yao’s eldest son died, Sun Yao basically stopped appearing in the social circles of the aristocratic families. She rarely appeared in public and she only used travelling to soothe the pain in her heart.
Mrs. Cheng turned around and realized that Sun Yao was not the only one who had come. Her husband, Su Shi, was standing beside her.
Sun Yao and Su Shi stood side by side. Both of them had outstanding appearances and it was most appropriate to describe them as a match made in heaven.
However, at this moment, their expressions were very cold. It was unknown how much of Cheng Shi’s speech they had heard just now.
Sun Yao stared at Cheng Shi with her sharp eyes and her tone was extremely cold as she asked, “What did you just say?”
The system commented on Sun Yao’s aura this time: [Her aura is so strong that Cheng Shi’s face turned pale. I thought Sun Yao would be weak before, but I didn’t expect her to be so scary after she got angry..]
