Chapter 42 - The Barking Dog
42 The Barking Dog
Xi Shu was about to refute, but after thinking about it again, if she was so eager to speak up for Gao Yang, it would arouse suspicion. So, Xi Shu said, “You don’t have any evidence.”
“You’d better speak less. Earlier, you kept saying that Xi Ze is your brother, but you didn’t even speak up for him at all.” Xi Wan said, “You’re still wholeheartedly speaking up for someone else now. Who’s truly your younger brother? Why are you always thinking of helping an outsider? Could it be that you’re colluding with Gao Yang and that is why you’re taking his side?”
Xi Wan came closer step by step, and the atmosphere became tense at this moment.
Xi Shu yelled in horror, “No! Stop framing me! You don’t have any evidence. I think you’re the one who’s spreading rumors!”
“If you want to see evidence, I’ll give it all to you then.” Xi Wan took out her cell phone and pulled up a text message from the bank. After reading the content to Xi Shu, she said with a smile, “Explain, what’s going on with this expenditure? By the way, what did you teach Gao Yang to say to make Xi Ze angry? There’s also the school forum which is full of gossip. I think you we should be able to find something, right?”
Xi Wan was clearly smiling but Xi Shu could only feel a bone-piercing chill from her.
“That’s my bank card How did you find out?!”
“Are you a ool? You chose not to use your own bank card when you bribed someone, but you used the bank card that is bound to the Xi family.” Xi Wan said, “I’m not the only one who received this text message. Everyone in the entire Xi family received it too. How do you think I found out about it? Xi Ze must have received it too, right? It was just that he is simple-minded and didn’t think about it. Xi Shu, even if you’re an illegitimate daughter, how can you be so brainless?”
“I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.” Xi Shu still refused to admit it.
Xi Wan sighed and shook her head resentfully. “Are you going to say that you’re young and ignorant as an excuse to get out of trouble when things get out of hand? If you really want to do this, why don’t you call Xi Kang over now and see if he’ll still side with you in this situation?”
With that said, Xi Wan even placed her cell phone on the table and said, “I’ll even pay for this phone call. Just consider this as me doing a good deed.”
Xi Shu was shaking even more violently than Gao Yang at this moment. The original flawless plan was that as long as Xi Ze’s assault was confirmed, his position in Xi Kang’s heart would plummet!
However, Xi Wan appeared out of nowhere!
From the moment she appeared, Xi Wan had a victorious look on her face. Not only did she mess up all of Xi Shu’s plans but she also embarrassed Xi Shu in front of so many people! Moreover, Xi Wan seemed to know everything as if someone had informed her if everything in advance!
Xi Ze was not easy to deal with either! Why were these siblings still alive?! There would not have been so much trouble if they were dead!
While Xi Wan was still urging her to make the call, Xi Shu finally withdrew her outstreched hand out of fear and guilt.
“You aren’t going to make the call because you feel guilty, right?” Xi Wan sneered and looked at Gao Yang like a caring elder sister. “Gao Yang, do you know Su Group? If you still refuse to admit your mistake, I can’t guarantee what will happen to the Gao family’s businesses in the end.”
Gao Yang’s breath stopped.
Of course, he knew about Su Group. It was one of the top five financial companies in the world and there were many industries under it. The Gao family was an inconspicuous member of one of the many companies that collaborated with Su Group.
If he wanted to compete with Su Group on his own, it would be like a mayfly trying to shake a tree. He would definitely be blamed if the Gao family was ruined because of him.
When the school leader heard the two words “Su Group,” his face turned pale with fright and he said with a trembling voice, “Su Group?”
“That’s right. That’s my husband’s company. Xi Ze, who is useless, is my younger brother. As for Xi Shu—” Xi Wan looked at Xi Shu and saw that she looked very funny now. Half of her face was delicate and pretty but the other half was swollen like a pig’s head. “She doesn’t have much status in the Xi family so she doesn’t have much say either. You can just treat her as a servant of the Xi family. We simply gave her the chance to study here at this school.”
Xi Shu’s eyes widened in shock. Xi Wan actually dared to call her a servant!
“What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong?” Xi Wan was amused. “Both you and your cheap mother are the same... It’s not just the two of you but also Xi Kang as well. Your entire family is the same.”
