Chapter 147 - Chapter 147: Third-tier Mission
The pastries this time were much more delicious than the ones at the previous auction.
Mrs. Wang saw Xi Wan from afar, so she walked over and pulled her to the sofa to sit down.
Xi Wan had some impression of Mrs. Wang because they were friends on
Whatsapp.
“The pastries this time are quite delicious. They’re even more fragrant than the ones from the last auction.” Mrs. Wang said.
Xi Wan handed the pastries over and asked, “Do you want to eat some?”
If Mrs. Wang under everyone’s gaze, she definitely would not dare to eat it. But they were sitting quietly in a corner and were surrounded by friends who have a good relationship with Mrs. Wang, so she could eat naturally.
Xi Wan was eating pastries with these wealthy ladies when the system warned her in her mind: [The male protagonist is approaching. Your mission is to tell him about the misfortune of your marriage.]
Xi Wan was about to ask if this was a mission when the system continued: [The second male protagonist is approaching. Your mission is to let him witness you reminiscing about your childhood with the male protagonist.]
Xi Wan was a little stunned. Before she could say anything, the system said: [The third male protagonist is approaching. Your mission is to make him think that you have no acting skills.]
Xi Wan fell silent.
What kind of heaven-defying mission was this?
The system was also very helpless: [This can’t be helped. Who asked the three of them to come to today’s birthday banquet?] These few missions are to make the male protagonist continue feeling nostalgia for you, make the second male protagonist think that you’re fickle, and let the third male protagonist think that you are worthless. The ultimate goal was to make the female protagonist suffer, be protected, and be comforted, but if you hadn’t quit the entertainment industry, the third male protagonist’s mission shouldn’t have been done today.]
However, who made the plot into such a mess?
Xi Wan took a few deep breaths and said, “It’s alright, don’t panic.”
Mrs. Wang leaned forward and lowered her voice. She said mysteriously, “Have you heard? The Huang family has been in chaos lately. Mrs. Huang and Mr. Huang even fought over Young Master Huang’s matter.”
“They really fought?” Xi Wan was surprised.
The system replied: [You’re still in the mood to have fun at a time like this?]
However, it also silently pricked up its ears. It had to admit that as long as it was with Xi Wan, no matter how big the matter was, it would feel at ease.
Mrs. Wang said, “Yes, and I heard that the fight this time was very serious. The furnishings in the living room are all broken and they even had to find someone to repair the walls.”
There were also other wealthy ladies around them who said, “Young Master Huang has been fooling around outside for a long time. Why is Mrs. Huang so angry this time?”
Mrs. Wang kept smiling. After keeping everyone in suspense, she said, “I heard that it’s because Young Master Huang refused to admit it no matter what. Mrs. Huang has helped him deal with many such messes before. I guess she can’t take it anymore this time. A person with a good temper will also lose it after holding it in for a long time.”
“Why do you think such a good life has become like this?” Someone said regretfully.
“The main thing is that Young Master Huang doesn’t seem like a person who would live a proper life. If any family marries their daughter to him, wouldn’t they be unlucky for eight lifetimes?”
“That’s why we have to keep our eyes open when choosing people. My daughter recently fell in love with a poor boy in school. No matter what I say, she won’t listen to me.”
“You have to listen to me about these things. I have experience. The more you stop her, the more she will do things to oppose you.”
Xi Wan listened with great interest and the system also got carried away.
A lady on the right even took the opportunity to ask, “Mrs. Su, when do you plan to have a child with Mr. Su?”
As soon as she said this, the atmosphere instantly fell silent. Only then did she realize that she had asked a question that she should not have asked.
“It’s still early,” Xi Wan replied casually.
Mrs. Wang also stepped forward to smooth things over. Mrs. Su and Mr. Su are still young. They’re not in a hurry to have children. Their world is so peaceful!”
The people around them also chimed in and praised Xi Wan and Su Xun for their deep love.
“Haha.” A cold and untimely sneer broke the silence between them.
Cheng Shi was standing there, looking down at Xi Wan and saying, “Hiding in a corner and eating pastries at a birthday banquet. Only you can do such an embarrassing thing.”
“What are you talking about?” Xi Wan asked as she raised her head innocently.
The other wealthy ladies also turned their heads, looking unhappy because they were all holding a plate of pastries in their hands.
Cheng Shi was speechless.
Why were they all eating here?
