Chapter 48 - 48 Her Gossip
48 Her Gossip
Xi Ze did not say anything. In fact, he insisted on following them because he wanted to see if there was anything going on between Xi Wan and Kong Shuo.
Even though Xi Wan was already married, he knew that Xi Wan did not have a very good relationship with her husband. Xi Ze would definitely be the first to disagree if Kong Shuo took advantage of this time to hit on Xi Wan.
As Xi Wan did her manicure, she listened to the conversation between the owner of the manicure shop and the customer next door.
A place like this was the easiest place to hear gossip and eighty percent of it was true. The remaining twenty percent was yet to be verified but it might not be false.
!!
“Did you know that the wife of the chairman of Su Group is Xi Wan, who announced her withdrawal from the entertainment industry some time ago?!” A young and beautiful woman was in the manicure shop next to Xi Wan’s but she did not see Xi Wan because Kong Shuo was blocking her view.
The shop owner was a middle-aged woman who paid more attention to the entertainment industry. She had long known about Xi Yan’s retirement from the entertainment industry.
The shop owner said, “It’s no wonder why she could leave the entertainment industry with such confidence. It turns out that it’s because she has the Su family’s support.”
“I think so too. Jiang Ran also had an accident. I used to like her at first but now that she has terminated her contract with her agency, I don’t know when she’ll be able to make a comeback.”
Jiang Ran offended the mistress of the Su family. It’ll be difficult for her to make a comeback.”
The shop owner and the customer sighed in unison but Xi Wan, who was the person in question, remained expressionless.
Xi Ze could not continue listening anymore. “Don’t you know how to refute them when they are saying that about you? ”
Xi Wan said nonchalantly, “That’s what people say about me on the internet anyway, so who are these two? It’s their business if they can’t stand me. I’ll just do things my own way and live my own life. Why should I care about them?”
Once again, Xi Ze thought that Xi Wan was really open-minded.
Xi Wan sat there for a while before she started communicating with the system. “Do you think Jiang Ran will make a comeback in the subsequent plot?”
The system quickly recalled the plot and replied: [She will make a comeback but she’s relying on the female protagonist’s luck. It has nothing to do with you.]
Xi Wan said, “Oh, if I let her make a comeback in advance, wouldn’t she owe me a favor then?”
The system suddenly became vigilant and said: [What are you planning to do? You want Jiang Ran to owe you a favor so that you can build a good relationship with her and use this opportunity to please the female protagonist, right?]
Xi Wan said, “What are you thinking about? Jiang Ran hurt me but I didn’t hold it against her. I did not only rebuild my relationship with her, but I also gave her a chance to make a comeback. If that’s the case, won’t my image improve in the public’s eyes?”
The system thought for a moment and felt that Xi Wan’s words made sense. However, she was not following the original plot so the system did not really agree with her. [But I still suggest that you…]
Xi Wan made a decision before the system could finish its sentence, “Okay, let’s do that then!”
The system was speechless.
She was not listening to it at all!
Two hours later, Xi Wan was done with her manicure. She was very satisfied with the design this time and looked at it over and over again.
“Okay, let’s go.” Xi Wan said. She got up, walked past Kong Shuo, and went to the manicure shop next door and said to the customer who was gossiping, “Your nails look pretty but not as pretty as mine.”
“Who are you?” The customer was impatient, but when she saw the person in front of her clearly, she was so scared that she could not even speak properly. “You’re Xi Wan?”
“That’s right.” Xi Wan squinted her eyes and smiled. “I was getting a manicure here just now and the gossip between you and the shop owner was quite interesting. Even I, the person involved, enjoyed listening to it.”
The other party was so scared that she could not even speak, and her hands were sweating.
“You’re not saying anything? How boring.” Xi Wan straightened her body and said to Xi Ze and the rest, “Let’s go.”
She turned around and left. Kong Shuo and Xi Ze followed her without stopping. The customer quickly took up her cell phone and started taking pictures. The nail polish that the shop owner had just applied for her was all over the place.
After taking the photo, she even adjusted the resolution so that the image of Xi Wan and the two men in the photo was clearer.
She remembered that the Su family seemed to have an external email that accepted all information from the outside world so she sent the photo over with the text: “Your chairman’s wife is out and being so intimate with other men. Don’t your chairman care at all?”
When Zhang Wen received the photo, he was so shocked that he spat out the water he had just drunk and all of it splashed onto the computer screen.
“What kind of photo is this?!” Zhang Wen subconsciously wanted to delete it but after some deliberation, he still went to find Su Xun.
