Chapter 63 - 63 Duplicity
63 Duplicity
It would really be hopeless for Xi Shu if she left.
“Xi Wan …” Wang Rui even reached out her hand, wanting to grab Xi Wan’s gown.
However, Xi Wan took a step back and Wang Rui’s hand missed her.
“Don’t touch my gown with your dirty hands,” Xi Wan said in disgust.
!!
The surrounding guests gradually gathered around to watch a good show.
Wang Rui felt extremely embarrassed after being surrounded like this. Xi Wan looked down at her and she was originally wondering what else Wang Rui could do. Unexpectedly, someone rushed over to speak up for Wang Rui before Wang Rui could embarrass herself further.
“Xi Wan, how could you do this to your elders?!” The person who spoke was Cheng Shi, who had previously been angered by Xi Wan. “To think that you’re a public figure. Are you really that vicious?”
“Didn’t you already leave?” Xi Wan asked.
“I just don’t want to be around you!” Cheng Shi said, “The auction is about to start so course I have to come back! To think that I addressed you as Mrs. Su, but I didn’t expect you to do such a thing. You’re really disappointing! You’re such a disgrace to Chairman Su!”
“I think there’s something wrong with you too, young lady.” Xi Wan was a little speechless. She turned to Xiao Zhe and said, “Don’t you think her acting skills are not bad? She’s pretty too. If your company is really short of people, I think you should take her in.”
And Xiao Zhe did make a comment. “Her looks are not bad and she’s also very good at seizing opportunities. She’s a very smart person but my company isn’t short of people. I’m only interested in your ability, so I want to continue working with you.”
“In that case, I’ll thank you for your appreciation first.” Xi Wan said, “But I’ll have to disappoint you because I will never go back to work with you again.”
Wang Rui and Cheng Shi, who were ignored, felt embarrassed, especially when the people around them looked at them like they were watching a monkey show, which was even more embarrassing.
Su Xun and the organizer had come out of the VIP suite at some point. Looking at the crowd from afar, Su Xun asked, “Did something happen over there?”
“I’m not sure.” The organizer was also very confused.
Su Xun walked over to the group of people and immediately saw Xi Wan, who stood out in the crowd.
When Xi Wan saw him, she walked over and held Su Xun’s arm very smoothly. She said coquettishly, “Honey, they bullied me. You have to stand up for me.”
The crowd was silent.
Although it was indeed Wang Rui who tried to embarrass Xi Wan first, looking at Xi Wan’s playful expression, she did not look like the one who being bullied!
It was better to say that she was the one bullying Wang Rui!
Su Xun’s eyes were dark. He did not say a word, as if he was examining this matter.
Xi Wan acted coquettishly again. “Honey, you should say something.”
Su Xun’s eyes darkened.
The crowd became even quieter.
Before he could say anything, the organizer shouted, “Isn’t this Wang Rui? I just asked the security guards to look for you and your husband to drive you out. I didn’t expect you to come to me yourself! Where’s Xi Kang? Didn’t he come with you?”
Wang Rui was silent and she did not dare to say a word.
This was because Xi Kang was in the crowd and he was looking at her with a cold expression on his face.
She had made the decision to come out on her own and had not discussed it with Xi Kang. Her original plan had been completely reversed. She had once again become a person that everyone hated and despised. Of course, Xi Kang naturally would not speak up for her.
He even gave up the chance to plead with Xi Wan and turned to leave the venue.
The organizer called the security guards and asked them to drive Wang Rui out.
Cheng Shi stood up and coughed twice to moisten her throat to show off her noble temperament.
Xi Wan said kindly, “Cheng Shi, I’d advise you to use your brain when you act in the future. Xi Kang and his wife are already despised by thousands of people. Why are you still associated with them? That was clearly a pit of fire and you still jumped in like a fool. It’s a good thing that this matter was resolved quickly. Otherwise, I’m afraid your end may not be any better than those two.”
Cheng Shi’s face flushed red with anger. She was about to curse when she met Su Xun’s cold eyes.
Among the business tycoons, Su Xun was famous for his unkind and ruthless personality. Although Cheng Shi was of the same generation as him, she had been instilled with the idea of ‘not provoking Su Xun’ a long time ago. So, when she looked into Su Xun’s eyes, she could not help but tremble.
Moreover, from Su Xun’s behavior, it was obvious that he was on Xi Wan’s side. If she really angered Su Xun, it would probably be more than just be a fight between peers.
