The System Wanted to Pass Out
After listening to his grandfatherâs reprimands, Su Xun pursed his lips and explained, âOur marriage is a secret to the public. If we act rashly, Iâm afraid that others will be suspicious.â
Xi Wan finished the tea in her cup and refilled Su Xiu and Su Xunâs cups. Then, she said with a smile, âGrandpa, itâs fine. I can solve this on my own. Besides, Iâve already left the entertainment industry. Thereâs no need to care about what other people say about me.â
âTheyâre just talking for fun. If Iâm affected by their words and end up feeling sad, then theyâll be proud. The more they attack me, the more outstanding I want to become.â
Su Xiu felt even more satisfied when he saw how confident Xi Wan was.
The system could not help but remind her, [ Host, Iâm asking you to complain to the old man and accuse Su Xun. What are you doing! ]
Xi Wan ignored its words.
âAre you really planning to leave the industry?â Su Xiu continued.
She nodded.
Su Xiu looked at Su Xun thoughtfully. âYouâre at fault in this matter. If Wanwan likes acting, you should help pave the way for her. If it wasnât for you, Wanwan wouldnât have been forced to leave the industry.â
The system was dumbfounded. The Host had not even complained, so why was the old man blaming Su Xun?
Xi Jin said smugly. âThis is the charm of language! Anyway, Iâve completed the temporary task you assigned me, right? Are there any benefits?â
[...]
It really couldnât figure out where the plot was heading.
After taking a deep breath, the system said helplessly, [ Yes, Iâll give you a skin-beautifying pill to keep your skin in a good condition. Itâll be better than those female celebrities who spend eight-figure sums of money on beauty. ]
Xi Wanâs eyes lit up. âThat sounds good. Quick, let me use it.â
The system said helplessly, [ Iâve already used it. I canât tell for the time being because your skin is in good condition to begin with. Other people will have skin problems, but you donât. ]
Xi Wan was instantly elated when she heard that.
At this time, Su Xun was not feeling good. His eye twitched. Why couldnât this matter be resolved? Also, why was he the one being scolded?
Enduring Su Xiuâs condemning gaze, Su Xun had no choice but to say to Xi Wan, â âDo you still want to return to the entertainment industry? If you want to go back, Iâll help you solve any problems you encounter.â
He had not made a move before, but once he did, these problems wouldnât exist anymore.
Xi Wan waved her hand. âItâs okay. Iâm not an artist anymore, but rather an investor. That way, I can earn money in the entertainment industry, and I also donât have to be at the mercy of others. How great is that?â
Before Su Xun could say anything, the old man smiled and agreed. âYes, thatâs better. Wanwan is still the smartest.â
In fact, many people in their circle looked down on celebrities from the entertainment industry. It was a mess, and many people had to sacrifice something in order to get into the industry. Although Wanwan would not be subjected to unspoken rules in the industry with his grandsonâs protection, it was still good to be able to stop being an actor and become an investor.
The Old Master was very satisfied with this.
Su Xun, on the other hand, was a little surprised. He had also seen news of Xi Wanâs retirement from the entertainment industry and thought that she couldnât stand the hardships of the entertainment industry. He didnât expect her to change her career entirely. She had improved a lot compared to her previous life.
The Old Master and the Young Madam chuckled as they spoke with each other, automatically ignoring Su Xun, who was sitting in the corner, still deep in thought. It was only when Uncle Lin appeared and said that the meal was ready that they stopped talking.
Xi Jin held onto Su Xiuâs arm and supported him as he walked. This time, they took the elevator down.
It was only then did she realize that there was an elevator installed in the villa. She glanced at Su Xun with some resentment. Since there was an elevator, why didnât they take it up here earlier?
At this moment, Su Xun completely did not understand what Xi Wanâs gaze meant. His mind was in a mess.
Su Xiu looked at the interaction between the two and thought that they had a good relationship, so he smiled even more heartily.
WHen they reached the dining hall, Xi Wan sat down at the dining table and looked at the few dishes on it. Every one of them looked appetizing, and she couldnât help but gulp at the sight.
Su Xiu noticed that Xi Wanâs eyes were fixed on the food. He wanted the youngins to eat more, so he smiled and said, âEat more if you like the food. If you canât finish it, you can take it away.â
Xi Wanâs eyes brightened. âThen I wonât hesitate.â
Su Xiu laughed out loud. âAlright, alright. Eat more.There will be enough!â
