Xi Wan did not mind watching the excitement and replied to the system, “There is going to be a good show to watch now. Not bad, this trip was not in vain.”
Xi Wan noticed that the fatigue on Sun Yao’s face had lessened quite a bit. Her current cold appearance was somewhat similar to the silent Su Xun.
Unlike Sun Yao, Su Shi said lightly, “Miss Cheng, I heard that your father’s business has been very bad recently. It seems that a batch of goods has been blocked for approval. I wonder if it has been successfully resolved now?”
Cheng Shi originally did not care about Sun Yao and Su Shi’s arrival, but Su Shi’s words changed her expression completely.
Mrs. Cheng grabbed her daughter’s arm tightly, as she trembled uncontrollably.
Cheng Shi could feel the fear in her mother’s heart and was a little disgusted because she felt that her mother was useless.
After Su Shi spoke, Sun Yao no longer looked at Cheng Shi and her daughter. Sun Yao’s expression softened as she looked at Xi Wan, revealing a smile to comfort her.
Xi Wan originally did not have any special feelings for Sun Yao but now she could not help but overlap this smile with Su Xun’s smile when he was concerned about her.
“Let’s go somewhere else for a walk?” Sun Yao suggested.
Xi Wan did not reject Sun Yao’s suggestion when she thought of her smile just now.
Only after Xi Wan and Su Shi left did everyone present heave a sigh of relief.
Although Su Shi did not care about the Su family anymore, he was still the former head of the Su family. He could still easily suppress them with his power.
Wu Xing, who had come with Xi Wan, almost buried her head in the ground. She was afraid that Xi Wan would complain to Su Shi and his wife. If that happened, she would be in trouble!
The ladies present were all of the same age as Sun Yao and her husband. They had met the couple a few times, but they could not be considered as friends. After all, the Su and Sun families were too dazzling, and their own family backgrounds were good enough to be friends with them.
Moreover, Sun Yao and Su Shi had the exact same arrogant personality. They had been this way since they were young. Now, Sun Yao was actually standing up for a junior like Xi Wan. It was really unexpected.
Mrs. Tang turned around and said Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Shi, “From the looks of it now, Miss Cheng’s statement is self-evident. Cheng Shi, your slandering of others is now true. I wonder if there will be any other young ladies from aristocratic families who will dare to be friends with you in the future.”
Mrs. Tang’s smile made Cheng Shi feel shocked. She looked around and saw deep disgust on the faces of the young ladies from the aristocratic families around her.
Cheng Shi was in despair; her face was ashen.
She clearly wanted to target Xi Wan but how did everyone end up hating her in the end?
Sun Yao brought Xi Wan to the tea room on the other side of the waterfall. Su Shi knew that his wife had something to say to Xi Wan, so he deliberately slowed down and fell behind.
The two bodyguards also slowed down and followed behind Xi Wan from a distance.
Xi Wan glanced at the bodyguards and they instantly understood. They left the tea room and closed the door behind them.
When Su Shi saw how obedient the bodyguards were to Xi Wan, the way he looked at Xi Wan changed again. He had a meaningful expression on his face.
The water splashed down to form a waterfall, and the sound of water flowing was clear and intense.
When Xi Wan saw that Sun Yao did not speak, she chose to break the silence, “Why are you here?”
Xi Wan spoke first, and Sun Yao, who did not know how to start the conversation, heaved a sigh of relief. She followed the topic that Xi Wan threw out and continued, “Su Xun said that this villa has opened for business and asked us to come over to relax. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
“This place has beautiful mountains and rivers. It’s a good place to relax. Su Xun has good taste.” Xi Wan nodded.
When Sun Yao heard Xi Wan referring to Su Xun by his full name, she smiled with a gentle gaze in her eyes. “Su Xun is a smart kid.”
“That agreement…” Sun Yao thought about what she had just heard and wanted to ask Xi Wan if it was true, but she hesitated.
Xi Wan raised her eyebrows but the smile on her face did not change. She said straightforwardly, “Cheng Shi is right. That agreement really exists.”
Xi Wan’s reply was so straightforward that both Sun Yao and Su Shi were stunned at the same time.
“This agreement shouldn’t count. Su Xun really cares about you.” After a moment, Sun Yao shook her head and her tone very firm..
