Gaining Sympathy
The author of the article had dug deep into the history of the Xi family’s mother and daughter.
When Wang Rui gave birth to Xi Shu, she didn’t seem to have a husband, which meant that Xi Shu’s biological father was unknown. After Wang Rui married Xi Kang, Xi Kang treated Xi Wan like his own daughter.
According to the rumors, Xi Shu was much more well-known than Xi Wan when they were in school.
Xi Shu went to an elite high school, but because she couldn’t get into a good university in the country, she chose to study abroad and was currently spending her semester break here.
As for Xi Wan, she got into a university with her own ability. Although it was not a top university in the country, it was still one of the best ones. It was only because of her outstanding appearance that she was discovered by a talent scout, and then started her career in the entertainment industry.
It was precisely because Xi Wan had always kept a low profile that no one knew that she was also the daughter of a wealthy family. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was a shareholder of the Su Corporation, everyone would still be thinking that she had a financial backer.
...
The comments were all on Xi Wan’s side, while some people who were in the know expressed that they were Xi Wan’s neighbors and that Xi Wan had been outstanding since she was young while Xi Shu had been a two-faced person. When there were no adults around, she was arrogant and domineering, but when the adults appeared, she began to act pitiful.
The system immediately reported the good news to Xi Wan. [ Host, not bad. You’ve gained quite a lot of sympathy points on the internet now. Who do you think posted this online? he’s really a kind person. ]
Xi Wan was also looking at her phone at this time. By observing the angle of the camera, she made a guess as to who it was. “It must have been Auntie Han who put it there.” She sighed. “I didn’t expect Auntie Han to still remember me even after Mother has already passed away for so long.”
Right then, Kong Shuo, who was busy repairing the backyard at the villa, had decided to take a break and play with his phone. He saw the articles about Xi Wan on the internet and was touched by them. He went to Xi Wan with a heart full of gratitude.
Xi Wan was eating a fruit platter that Aunt Wang had brought her when she saw Kong Shuo approach her, his face shining.
“DId you need something?” Xi Wan had no idea what he was doing here. Could it be that the design she suggested was too complicated?
“Thank you, Miss Xi, ” Kong Shuo said earnestly. “But you didn’t have to do so much. I’m really sorry that I’ve dragged you into the headlines.”
Xi Wan was confused, but after hearing Kong Shuo’s words, she came to her senses. So, he thought that she was the one who had uploaded the video online to help him vent his anger?
Xi Wan felt rather conflicted. This was a perfect misunderstanding.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to explain, Su Xun suddenly rushed over, as if he had appeared out of thin air.
“What are you guys talking about?” Su Xun sized up Kong Shuo and asked, “Who is this?”
Xi Wan introduced them naturally, “I just hired him to help me design a greenhouse.”
“Oh,” Su Xun replied. “I’ve seen the video on the internet. Did you suffer in the Xi family? ”
Xi Wan immediately shook her head. “No, I was just pretending.”
“...”
The words of concern that Su Xun had originally prepared to say were stuck in his throat for a moment, rendering him silent.
Xi Wan looked at Su Xun. “What are you doing back here? Aren’t you busy?”
“...”
She had already said what she wanted to say, so what should he say? Could it be that when he saw Kong Shuo at home, he subconsciously felt that Xi Wan was going to do something, so he came back to be on guard?
