There was a lot of movement here, which instantly attracted many people to come over and take a look at what was going on.

“Isn’t that Xi Ze, the most troublesome guy in the school? He’s so bold to kick the director’s office door open like that. Does he want to be expelled?”

“Look, there are so many people there. One of them is Xi Shu from our school. …Wait, Xi Ze, Xi Shu…why does it sound like they’re a family?”

“That’s impossible. Xi Shu might be an exchange student, but she’s still a rich young lady. Someone like Xi Ze can’t be compared to her.”

“What about that other person? Why does that girl look so much like a female star? Do people with her kind of aura and appearance really exist?”

Following the student’s gaze, everyone looked towards the office and saw Xi Wan rush in and confront Xi Shu.

She smiled. “Xi Shu, who are you to speak to the school directors? When did an illegitimate daughter like you have the right to interfere in my brother’s matters?”

Although Xi Wan was smiling, her overbearing aura instantly shocked everyone present. Even the school directors, who were used to being in high positions, couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

When the school director finally reacted, he subconsciously asked, “What do you mean by ‘illegitimate daughter’?”

Xi Wan looked at him. “It seems like your phone doesn’t have internet access. Don’t you know that Xi Shu is the illegitimate daughter of my father and his mistress? Of course, this mistress has now become my father’s new wife, but Xi Shu and I are only three years apart in age. My mother passed away when I was six. So, do you think that she’s not considered an illegitimate daughter?”

Xi Shu did not expect Xi Wan to rush over at this time, nor did she expect her to say this in front of the director. She looked embarrassed and angry, and then she realized that there were so many students gathered near the office.

At this point, the only thing on her mind was preserving her reputation. Just as she was about to put on a show, she saw Kong Shuo and acted like a pitiable girl. “Sister, I didn’t know why you were slandering me before, but now I understand. You like Kong Shuo, but you’re already married. If you like him, you could have told me earlier, and I definitely wouldn’t have fought with you.”

Xi Wan sneered at her. “That’s enough. You can drop the act. Kong Shuo is a designer I hired. I heard that this is his school, so I asked him to show me to this office. So why am I being accused of cheating with him when he’s just fulfilling my request? With your logic, when I saw you alone with the director before, could I also suspect that you seduced him and deliberately put a label on Xi Ze, wanting to deduct his credits and even force him to drop out of school?”

When Xi Wan finished speaking, Xi Shu was thrown into a panic, and the director was furious.

“What are you saying? How could I have an improper relationship with Xi Shu? My daughter is almost the same age as her!” the director defended himself.

Xi Wan smiled. “Don’t lots of older men like girls who are 20 to 30 years younger than them? It’s a normal preference.”

The school director was so angry that his heart was beating very fast, and he almost couldn’t hold back from using force on Xi Wan.

Meanwhile, Xi Ze was dumbfounded. When had his sister, who had always been honest and kind, become so stubborn? She’d actually said that Xi Shu was an illegitimate daughter in public and even dared to criticize the school directors in front of everyone?

Xi Ze tugged at her arm. “Sis, can you hold back a little? You’re too intimidating right now.”

“Oh,” Xi Wan replied. Then, she smiled in what she thought was a kind way and said to the school director, “I was just making an assumption based on the illegitimate daughter’s logic. Don’t take it seriously. Now, let’s talk about it. What did my brother do wrong that he needs you to call his parents over? And what right does Xi Shu have to be my brother’s parent and come to you?”

The school director was a little confused at this time. When Xi Shu came over, she’d told him that Xi Ze was her younger brother, but then after that, Xi Wan had barged in and said that Xi Shu was an illegitimate daughter. She’d also said that she would be in charge of Xi Ze’s Affairs.

But wait a minute. He was wondering why this Xi Wan looked so familiar, but now he finally realized who she was. Wasn’t this the celebrity Xi Wan who had announced her retirement in a high-profile manner previously?

Xi Shu had secretly planned to blow up the matter involving Xi Ze. It would be best if her father was completely disappointed in him so that the Xi family’s assets would be all hers, especially now that Xi Wan was married.

But now, Xi Wan herself had actually come over!

Xi Shu knew that she couldn’t let Xi Wan ruin her plans, so she said to the school director, “Actually, I was there at the time. I saw with my own eyes how my brother, Xi Ze, attacked the others!

Xi Wan’s eyes turned cold and she clenched her fists.
