The Insignifcant Female Supporting Character Actually Became a Bigshot in the Novel!

58 Acting

However, even after all the security guards were deployed, they still could not find Xi Kang and his wife in the venue.

When the organizers found out about the results, they thought that Xi Kang and Lu Zhou had run away in despair because they were embarrassed. However, the two of them did not leave but were able to hide in a secret warehouse passage thanks to Li Yue.

Li Yue said, “Everyone hate and despise the two of you now. I’d advise you not to come out. If the organizers saw you, they would probably kick you out immediately. Listen to me, you guys should hide here for a while and come out only after the auction. When the time comes, I’ll think of a way to keep Su Xun and Mrs. Su behind.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Li.” Wang Rui said sincerely.

Xi Kang had an ugly expression on his face. “What do you mean by that? I’m Su Xun’s father-in-law! Since they can’t wait to please Su Xun, they should also please me!”

But even though he said so, he still hid in the warehouse passage with Wang Rui. No matter how important his ego was, he still had to see the current situation clearly and humble himself when he had to.

Li Yue came out of the dirty warehouse. After tidying up her appearance, she went directly to the venue.

The auction had not started yet, so the guests were all walking around to greet each other. Li Yue originally wanted to look for Su Xun and get closer to him, but she suddenly saw Xi Wan beside him.

Li Yue recalled the unhappiness she had with Xi Wan a few days ago, so she did not go over. Instead, she went to another gathering place where a group of wealthy ladies were gathered and said, “Chairman Su really brought Mrs. Su out? It’s really strange.”

“What are you saying? They’re husband and wife so what’s so strange about them attending the auction together? ” Another woman named Mrs. Huang said, “It’s just that the two of them don’t seem to have a very good relationship. Mrs. Su has always been staying close to Chairman Su but Chairman Su’s expression has always been very cold.”

“What do you know? They were forced into this marriage from the very beginning!” Someone said, “Chairman Su’s grandfather was not in good health. He wanted to get rid of his bad luck so Chairman Su had to get married in such a hurry!”

This was the first time Li Yue had heard of this. “Is that so? Why did Chairman Su marry Mrs. Su then? There are so many women who are better than her!”

She was referring to her own daughter, Li Meng.

Li Meng had always liked Su Xun very much. She even fell seriously when she learned that he was married. Li Yue initially thought of bringing Li Meng to the auction today so that she could get acquainted with a few rich young men from powerful families. However, when she thought about how Su Xun would be coming as well, Li Yue was worried about Li Meng’s mental state and did not bring her along.

The wealthy ladies were still secretly talking about Su Xun and Xi Yan, while the two parties were still surrounded by some bald middle-aged businessmen and their wives.

Xi Wan had been holding onto Su Xun’s arm with a smile on her face the whole time, as if the two of them were a loving couple.

However, Su Xun refused to cooperate. Not only was the expression on his face cold, but he also deliberately distanced himself from Xi Wan.

“Chairman Su and Mrs. Su looks really loving!” The bald businessman lied through his teeth. “Mrs. Su has been holding onto Chairman Su’s arm since entering the venue!”

The smile on Xi Wan’s face never faded. Although Su Xun kept pulling away, Xi Wan kept grabbing his arm vigorously, indicating that he could not take a step away from this place.

The system could not stand it anymore. [Why won’t you let go? I think the antagonist is already impatient enough!]

Xi Wan refused. “I have to act the whole way if I want to put on an act. What will it mean if he quits halfway now?”

Su Xun seemed unable to keep up the pretence any longer and pulled his arm out of Xi Wan’s hand. Although he did not say anything, the meaning he was expressing was already obvious.

This made the bald businessman feel a little embarrassed.

When Xi Wan saw this, she knew that Su Xun was deliberately going against her. She raised the corners of her mouth and revealed an even brighter smile.

The system cried out excitedly: [Oh! As expected of the antagonist. Look, he’s trying to put you down!]

“I can tell. Shut up.” Xi Wan said.

The system replied: [Oh.]

Xi Wan said to the businessmen in front of her, “I won’t bother you anymore since you have something to discuss with Chairman Su.”

With that said, she walked toward Li Yue’s direction.

Su Xun was a little puzzled as he stood on the spot. He was obviously protesting against Xi Wan, so why did she react that way?

He could not figure it out no matter how much he thought about it. Xi Wan had already walked up to Li Yue and greeted her with a smile, “Oh, Mrs. Li? I didn’t expect to see you here.”
