Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

30 minutes later, a man in a suit appeared in front of Su Xun and Xi Wan in a respectful manner.

“Boss, Young Madam, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Liu Yang, and I’m in charge of providing you with designing services.”

Xi Wan had looked up Liu Yang’s information. It seemed he had returned from studying abroad and was working for a famous company.

In other words, wasn’t he way too qualified to be designing for her?

Su Xun nodded, as if it was a very common thing to hire such a person. “I’ll leave the designs that the Madam wants to you. Do a good job.

“Understood!” Liu Yang replied loudly.

Forget it, since she was already here, Xi Wan might as well tell Liu Yang what she had in mind. After Su Xun confirmed that there was nothing unusual going on with Xi Wan, he took the documents that Zhang Wen had brought him to the company.

Just as Xi Wan and Liu Yang were happily discussing their plans, Xi Wan’s phone suddenly rang. She subconsciously took it and heard a roar from the other end of the phone.

“You still have the guts to pick up the phone? I already told you not to work in the entertainment industry! Now look what happened! You’ve embarrassed yourself in front of the whole industry! Do you think the Xi family is shameless? Come back right now!”

Then, the call was hung up.

It was only after the call was hung up that Xi Wan saw that the caller ID was labeled “Dad.”

Xi Wan pouted. “He’s so fierce. I’m not going.”

The system was immediately alerted to her reluctance. “No, this is also a mission. You have to go. ]

It seemed to have guessed what Xi Wan would say and added, [ If you go, you can accumulate some benefits. ]

Xi Wan paused when she thought of the benefits she could potentially get. She immediately stood up and said to Aunt Wang, “I’m going home for lunch, so you don’t have to cook for me.”

Xi Wan had just left the villa when Su Xun saw her through the surveillance camera. At this time, he was already in the company. He had no opinion on Xi Wan’s plan to renovate the greenhouse, but he was a little concerned about Aunt Wang.

His grandfather had arranged for Aunt Wang to come over to supervise their daily lives, which made him a little unhappy. However, right as he was thinking about that, he received a call from his grandfather, which he answered.

Su Xiu coughed twice before saying, “I know that you’re living together now, so I’m very happy, and my appetite has increased. I asked Aunt Wang to take care of you two. Do you have any objections?”

As Su Xiu spoke, he deliberately coughed again.

Su Xun knew that his grandfather was trying to trick him, but he really did care about his grandfather’s health and thus had to compromise. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I know what to do. I’ll stay in the villa.

Even if Su Xiu didn’t mention it, he had planned to continue living in the villa anyway; he would only be at ease if he could personally watch over the person he was worried about.

When Xi Wan was about to arrive at the Xi family’s residence, she was greeted with the scene of a woman chasing a man in front of a Western restaurant. There were many people around, but the girl still surrounded the boy and pestered him.

Xi Wan asked the driver to stop and decided to watch the show.

[ The boy who is being pestered is called Kong Shuo. He is a top student in design. The one pestering him is your half-sister, Xi Shu. She is an illegitimate daughter, but no one knows about it yet. ] the system said, then quickly sent Xi Wan a rundown of the plot straight to her mind.

Xi Wan’s eyes immediately widened at the new information. “Great. Just to get a man, she was willing to destroy someone’s future by accusing them of plagiarizing her work. How useless—I’ve never seen anyone pursue someone to this kind of extent.”

Then, she got out of the car.

The system was wary of her actions. […What are you going to do? ]

Xi Wan smiled. “Handling family matters in a proper way!”

Then, she went behind the two people.

Xi Shu was still pestering Kong Shuo. “Am I that bad? Why do you always refuse to accept me? You clearly know that if you’re with me, you can live a better life and you can work twenty years less.”

Xi Wan laughed coldly when she heard that. “You think he can work twenty years less with your status as an illegitimate daughter?”

Xi Shu was stunned and subconsciously muttered “Who said I’m an illegitimate daughter? ”

She turned around and saw that it was Xi Wan.

“W-why are you here?” Xi Shu asked in surprise. More importantly, how did Xi Wan know that she was an illegitimate daughter?

That didn’t matter, though. She would never admit to this!
