女佣妈妈

Chapter 96  Acting

"It's not early. I think it's just right." Xi Wan was tired from dancing and her movements gradually slowed down. "I'll be alone after I divorce Su Xun. I've already made plans. I'm going to work hard to earn money. As for dating and having a partner, let's talk about it when I'm old."

[You really don't have any aspirations at all.] The system also changed into a motherly personality: [Although your divorce with the antagonist is the inevitable ending of this novel, the two of you can still be together if you are willing to work hard. Why can't you try to like him?]

"Absolutely not." Xi Wan was tired from dancing and she stood there for a while. She planned to go back after the sweat on her body dried up. She took out her cell phone and saw that there were several missed calls and unread text messages on it.

The missed calls were from unknown numbers that Xi Wan had never saved. However, based on the contents of the unread messages, Xi Wan could guess who was calling her.

The first text message was, "Hurry up and come home. Your relatives are here and so is your sister."

"Why aren't you picking up the phone? Are you out there again?"

"If your Third Aunt hadn't mentioned you when she came back, I wouldn't have known that you were so ill-mannered outside!"

At first glance, it was a text message from Xi Kang. As for the aunt he mentioned, she was probably the Mrs. Wu that she met today. She had gone to the Xi family's house to complain.

As for the sister, she was probably Mrs. Wu's daughter.

"I've finally realized that I don't have any other benefits in this world, but I have a lot of cheap younger brothers and sisters." Xi Wan had a headache. Before she could finish her sentence, her cell phone rang again.

It was still the same number as all those missed calls. Xi Wan knew that it was Xi Kang and she did not want to answer the call. However, when she thought of how boring the journey back home was and how it was quite fun to quarrel with Xi Kang, she picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter?"

However, the person who spoke was not Xi Kang but it was a very young female voice. "Are you Xi Wan? I am your sister, Wu Xing."

The system reminded him: [This is Mrs. Wu's daughter.]

Xi Wan was certain that she had never heard of Wu Xing before. Even though they were relatives, they hadn't seen each other in a long time.

Wu Xing's impression of Xi Wan was that she was timid and submissive. Hence, she did not speak to Xi Wan in a pleasant tone. It was as if Xi Wan was not her sister, but was a servant of their family.

"Oh, so you're Wu Xing." Xi Wan's tone changed, as if she was a caring elder sister. "As far as I can remember, you've never contacted me before. Did the sun rise from the west today?"

"Cut the crap. I went to look for your husband today but he didn't let me in. He even asked someone to chase me out. Where are you now? I'll go and look for you. Hurry up and bring me to see him." Wu Xing's words sounded as though Xi Wan would definitely agree to her request.

"You saw my husband?" Xi Wan was a little surprised at first but then she suddenly started to complain. Her voice also sounded sad. "Then you must know what kind of person he is, right? To be honest, I've been at home all day but I didn't dare to go down to see you."

"What do you mean when you say that you didn't dare to come and see me?" Wu Xing didn't quite understand.

Xi Wan adjusted her emotions and started sobbing. "I've been married for so long and the number of times I've been home can be counted on one hand. Don't you understand the reason why?"

Wu Xing was a little confused. "Do you mean to say that your husband won't let you out?"

Before Xi Wan could speak, Wu Xing said, "Stop lying to me. I saw the hot searches that were trending today. Didn't you go to the opening ceremony? You said you can't go out? You're lying to me!"

"Do you think that I would do something like that?" Xi Wan deliberately lowered her voice.

Wu Xing paused and she was somewhat speechless.

This really did not seem like something Xi Wan would do.

According to what Xi Wan said, Su Xun did not allow her to come out, so she naturally would not be allowed to participate in events like the opening ceremony. According to Xi Kang, Xi Wan had just married into a wealthy family and had yet to establish herself. How could she participate in such a large-scale event? It would be embarrassing for the Su family if Xi Wan made any mistakes.
