Chapter 55 - Think Of A Way
55 Think Of A Way
While Xi Wan was leisurely and contented at the villa, the Xi family was already in an uproar.
The incident where Xi Wan exposed Xi Shu’s identity had already spread to the media through Xi Ze’s school forum. Their noses were more sensitive than dogs and they looked into the matter immediately at the moment when they caught a whiff of gossip.
One would not know if one did not look into it but once one looked into it, one would be shocked.
Xi Shu was Xi Kang’s illegitimate daughter. It was because of her and her mother’s existence that forced Xi Wan’s mother’s indirect death!
This mistress entering the house was already a matter that people despised, not to mention the fact that she caused the death of Xi Kang’s rightful wife. Even if this incident happened eight hundred years later, it would still be criticized by others behind the scene.
Wang Rui was sitting on the sofa with tears and snot all over her face, and her eyes were swollen.
Xi Shu was about to be sent for interrogation. Xi Kang was looking for help everywhere, trying to get her out of the police station. In the end, he only made a few calls before he received a few calls himself.
“Chairman Xi, the company’s stock price has dropped drastically. This is your family’s affairs and we have no right to interfere but the consequences have already affected our interests. You have to give us an explanation, right?” Mr. Bai’s tone was authoritative over the other end of the line.
Xi Kang was so busy that he could only reply, “Mr. Bai, this is a misunderstanding…”
“You still have the nerve to say that it’s a misunderstanding?” Mr. Bai said sternly, “Your daughter is about to be interrogated soon and you’re still saying that this is a misunderstanding?”
He and Xi Kang’s father have been good friends for many years. After Xi Kang’s father passed away, he continued to stay here and planned to support Xi Kang. When Xi Kang was young, he was controlled and never did anything wrong. Unexpectedly, as he grew older, he did more and more foolish things!
Xi Kang’s was sweating profusely. He wanted to get over this matter quickly so he said, “Mr. Bai, this is really a misunderstanding. Xi Wan is a child who lacks discipline and she must have been talking nonsense outside, so that is how she dragged Xi Shu into this matter! I’ll definitely teach her a lesson when she comes back and give everyone an explanation!”
“You’re still distorting the truth at a time like this!” Mr. Bai was furious. He felt that Xi Kang was getting more and more useless as he got older. “I think Xi Shu is the one who needs to be taught a lesson, right?!”
Mr. Bai was so angry that he could hardly breath, so he hung up the phone directly.
Xi Kang wanted to explain further but the call had already ended.
“This group of people only knows how to cause trouble!” Xi Kang cursed angrily, “They pretend to treat me as a friend on the surface but now that something has really happened, they’re treating me like a fiend and they are avoiding me like the plague! There are also not many good people on the company’s board of directors. Forget it if they aren’t going to help me but they only know how to hit a person when he’s down!”
Xi Kang’s chest heaved up and down violently. Wang Rui was so frightened that she held back her tears and quickly comforted him, “Don’t be angry. If something bad happens to you if you get too angry, what will happen to me and my daughter then?!”
She poured Xi Kang a glass of water and after watching him drink it, Wang Rui said, “I think it’d be better for us to go to Xi Wan and plead for mercy on this matter. She’s powerful and influential in the entertainment industry now and she still has Su Group to back her up. As long as we ask her for help, we will definitely succeed in this matter!”
“You want me to ask her for help? Then you might as well take my life!” Xi Kang roared, “Look at how arrogant she is. Wouldn’t I be ridiculed if I go to her? I, Xi Kang, absolutely will not do such a thing!”
“You’re still holding on to that worthless ego of yours at a time like this?” Wang Rui said, “You can always go to Su Xun for help if you really don’t want to go to Xi Wan, right? Anyway, he is also your son-in-law and he has a higher status than Xi Wan so he can definitely make decisions on Xi Wan’s behalf!”
Xi Kang calmed down a little after hearing this. “Are you sure that Su Xun will really help us?”
“But he’s definitely easier to talk to compared to Xi Wan.” Wang Rui said, “We have to give it a try no matter what it is. Mrs. Li told me today that there will be an auction tomorrow night, and all the rich and powerful will be attending the auction. Su Xun and Xi Wan will definitely be there too.”
Xi Kang thought about it for a long time before he finally nodded and said, “Okay then, let’s go and look for Su Xun. He will definitely show me some respect when I talk since I’m his father-in-law.”
What he did not know was that the auction house did not even send an invitation to the Xi family because of that huge incident. When the time comes, forget the fact that Xi Kang was Su Xun’s father-in-law, but even if Xi Kang was the king, he would not be able to enter the auction venue.
Wang Rui did not know about this either and thought that she could enter as long as she showed her identity.
