41 Pretending to be A Good Person
Xi Yan naturally did not believe what Xi Shu said.
The system already told her about the scenario here when she was on the way here. Xi Shu had bribed someone from the same school to deliberately provoke Xi Ze so that this matter would blow up.
Xi Shu glanced at Xi Wan from the corner of her eye and saw that she was expressionless. Since the school leaders were here, she also became even more confident as she lied, âI was far away at that time. I only know that the person said a few words to my brother. After that, my brother suddenly started fighting with him.â
As she said this, Xi Shu looked at Xi Ze and persuaded him earnestly, âWhat do you think we should do if dad finds out about this matter? You clearly know that dad values you so much, yet you still got into such trouble in school? Arenât you deliberately embarrassing him?â
Anyone who saw her like this would think that she was a good sister who was gently persuading her younger brother. However, Xi Ze had long been sick of her pretense. She always liked to put on an act and there was no sincerity in anything she said at all.
âDonât meddle in my business.â Xi Ze said coldly.
âXi Ze, no matter what it is, Iâm still your sister! Now that something like this has happened to you, Iâm also to blame for not teaching you well...â Xi Shuâs expression was filled with grief.
âWait a moment.â Xi Wan stopped what Xi Shu was about to say in time and reminded her kindly, âIâm Xi Zeâs biological sister, so I will take care of his affairs. As for you, Iâm sorry but weâre not familiar with you at all.â
Xi Shu was so angry that she almost fainted.
When Xi Wan looked up, she saw a man standing in the corner. His face was bruised and swollen from a beating.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xi Wan was also shocked when she saw it and asked Xi Ze in a low voice, âYou hit him?â
This kid was quite ruthless.
âYes.â Xi Ze turned his head away. Xi Wan rarely spoke to him from such a close distance so he felt a little awkward.
Xi Wan raised her hand and called the person in the corner over, âYouâre the one who fought with Xi Ze, right? Whatâs your name?â
The person kept his head down and his voice was as soft as a mosquito. âMy name is Gao Yang. Iâm... Iâm a student from the Department of Acting. I was just joking with Xi Ze but I didnât expect him to be so angry. Iâve already apologized to him but he just refused to stop and he even threatened to kill me. â
Just as Xi Wan was about to speak, Xi Shu interrupted again, âLook! Xi Ze, how can you say such a thing?!â
Xi Wan rolled her eyes. Sooner or later, she would have to find a way to make Xi Shu stop talking.
âXi Shu, you donât have the right to speak here. Youâre just an illegitimate daughter but you still dare to interfere in my afairs? I think youâll climb over my head in the future if I donât teach you a lesson.â
An illegitimate daughter, an illegitimate daughter! Why was Xi Wan always mentioning the fact that she was an illegitimate daughter?!
âXi Wan, Iâm telling you, donât go overboard! Dad is on my side...â
Xi Shu was slapped in the face before she could finish her sentence. The sound was so loud and clear that even Xi Ze and the school leaders were stunned.
Xi Wan took out a handkerchief from her handbag and wiped her hands as if they were stained with something dirty. âMy rule for dogs that like to bark is always to beat them until she is obedient. Xi Shu, can you be obedient now? I can continue to hit you if youâre still disobedient.â
The force of that slap was so great that half of Xi Shuâs face was already swollen. She quickly stepped backwards out of fear that Xi Wan would slap the other side of her face again.
Xi Ze was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Was this still his submissive sister?
Only then was Xi Wan satisfied. She then looked at Gao Yang and asked, âGao Yang, you said that youâre a student from the Department of Acting, right? So, if you continue spreading such rumors regarding this incident, it will be a stain in your life and you will never be able to become famous in this life.â
As soon as these words came out, Gao Yangâs body trembled but he still said, âIâm not spreading rumors! Iâm telling the truth!â
When Xi Shu saw that Gao Yang could not hold on any longer, she could only cover half of her face and speak up for Gao Yang. After all, there was still a deal between them. If something happened to Gao Yang, she would also be done for.
âI know youâre on Xi Zeâs side but you canât be so indiscriminate! Are you going to accuse Gao Yang of spreading rumors?â
Xi Wan really wanted to kick Xi Shu out.âDid I use too little strength when i slapped you just now? You actually still dare to speak? You are even saying that Iâm pinning a crime on others? What if Gao Yang is really spreading rumors then?â
