Chapter 223: Thank You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wu Xing was confused by Xi Wan’s words. “Cousin, you want to thank me?”

“Yes.” Xi Wan nodded. “My relationship with Su Xun became even better after that day because of you. Don’t I have to thank you?”

Wu Xing fell silent. Xi Wan must be doing this on purpose. She must be deliberately provoking her

Wu Xing forced a laugh and asked Xi Wan, “Cousin, you really know how to joke. Where’s Brother-in-law? Did he go to work? Why did he go to work so early? It must be really tiring for him!”

“Yes, he went to work. It is as tiring as waking up early to eat breakfast.” Xi

Wan nodded in agreement.

“…” Wu Xing felt that she was the silent lamb today and had a new understanding of her cousin, Xi Wan.

Why would she be tired?! Why was she tired?!

After the short conversation just now, Wu Xing could feel the change in Xi Wan.

She felt that Xi Wan had changed. Although the person in front of her still looked innocent and gullible, she could faintly feel that everything was fake. Everything was Xi Wan’s disguise.

She still remembered what Xi Wan had said to her on the phone that day. Those words were so natural and flawless.

Wu Xing became angry when she thought of what happened that day. She could not help but raised her voice and ask, “Cousin, if that’s the case, why did you lie to me last time? You lied to me that Su Xun treated you badly, causing me to only want to fight for your injustice but, in the end, I made a fool of myself!”

Xi Wan raised her brows. Wu Xing was clearly distorting the truth. She was clearly trying to sow discord, but when she said it, it became fighting injustice. How ridiculous!

“So, that’s how you see it. I thought this incident was proof of our good relationship. I’m sorry, I was too conceited.” Xi Wan lowered her eyes and said in a low voice.

Wu Xing saw her aggrieved attitude and became even angrier. She said impatiently, “This…”

Xi Wan would not give her a chance to complain and interrupted her, “When we were young, we played hide-and-seek together. When you told the others that I went back first and deliberately locked me in the cabinet, didn’t you say that you were joking with me because you were close to me?”

Xi Wan looked at her seriously. “This kind of thing has happened many times in the past. Do you want me to help you remember?”

Wu Xing looked at Xi Wan’s clear eyes and could not help but feel a chill down her spine.

In the past, she did like to bully Xi Wan for no reason because of Xi Wan’s weak and unresisting personality. She bullied Xi Wan unscrupulously to resolve the inferiority in her heart, as if doing so could erase their family’s fawning over Xi Wan’s family.

She had always thought that Xi Wan would not care about those things. She was going to be bullied anyway, so, what difference did it make if she did it once or twice?

However, everything that Xi Wan said today made Wu Xing realize that Xi Wan was not someone who did not care. She remembered every single thing that happened.

Wu Xing felt that what happened last time was just the beginning. In the following days, Xi Wan would definitely use a counterattack that she could not withstand to give her a heavy blow.

She thought of what she would face next, and could not help but turn pale. “I-. was wrong, Cousin!”

“No, you’re right, you’re not wrong. Don’t you think we have a good relationship?” Xi Wan asked calmly, “Or have you always used this as an excuse to brush me off? Don’t tell me you’re still blaming me?”

Wu Xing realized that she could no longer see through Xi Wan. She did not know if the other party really thought so, or if she was deliberately trying to put her down with her words.

Xi Wan’s flawless attitude did not give Wu Xing any chance to see through her at all.

Wu Xing had already erased the weak Xi Wan from her heart and replaced it with the Xi Wan who made her feel unfathomable. Moreover, she could not help but feel fear and reverence for Xi Wan in her heart.

“Cousin, Cousin, I was really wrong…” Wu Xing quickly shifted her gaze away from Xi Wan and lowered her head, not daring to look at her again. “I won’t dare to do it again in the future!”

Xi Wan did not even bother to look at her, allowing her to continue being fearful of her.

Xi Wan was replying to Mrs. Tang’s message.

Mrs. Tang had invited her to the villa for a vacation, so, of course Xi Wan had to go. After all, the villa was the most suitable place to spend the summer..
