The Insignifcant Female Supporting Character Actually Became a Bigshot in the Novel! Chapter 33

The Male Lead’s Suspicions

Ling Feng looked at Xi Wan with his wet eyes. “There must be so misunderstanding between us. I was very worried about you when you left the industry last ti but was relieved when I saw that your reputation had changed.”

Xi Wan was holding a new ga console in her hand as she casually asked, “Are you worried about what I did after that? Although you don’t have much power now, you can still spend money to get soone to control the comnts, right?”

As she spoke, she put down the things in her hands and looked at Ling Feng seriously, “So, did you do it?”

Ling Feng suddenly got stuck. Did he do it? Of course not.

“Although I have so assets now, I don’t have that many liquid assets,” he tried to explain.

Oh,” Xi Wan replied. “So you were the one who was worried about when I was attacked by the netizens, but you didn’t do anything about it, and yet now that the matter is resolved, you’re here to tell that you’re worried about , right?”

“...”

What she said didn’t seem wrong, but it didn’t seem right either.

“I ... I just hadn’t thought of a good idea yet.” Ling Feng explained, then added, “Wanwan, why did you say that I was with another woman when I went to look for you last ti? Did you hear anything from sowhere?”

What Xi Wan had said last ti had bothered him. According to the script that he knew, Xi Wan shouldn’t have known about Zhao Fei’s existence at this ti.

Therefore, he guessed that Xi Wan might have been like him and knew of the plot in advance.

When Ling Feng said this, his tone was careful, but the way he looked at Xi Wan was very serious. If she lied, he was confident that he would be able to catch her.

However, Xi Wan didn’t give him a chance to guess at all. Almost imdiately, she laughed and said, “How should I know? Have you forgotten how Jiang Ran set up? Don’t you know why she did it?”

Xi Wan’s matter-of-fact words stunned him, and it was only then did he rember that Zhao Fei had once ntioned that she had a good friend in the entertainnt industry who was recently competing for the female lead role of a script, and that it would be of great help to her sister’s career if she could get the opportunity.

At that ti, he could tell that Zhao Fei wanted him to help her, but he’d had a lot of things to do at the ti and couldn’t care about her sisters. As a result, he’d put on an act, making himself seem very pitiable, and successfully deceived Zhao Fei, making her give up on this idea.

Now, from Xi Wan’s words, it was clear that Jiang Ran was the friend Zhao Fei had ntioned. He could almost imdiately guess that Zhao Fei had told Jiang Ran about him and her, and then pushed Jiang Ran into dealing with Xi Wan—even the way Jiang Ran dealt with Xi Wan was most likely Zhao Fei’s idea.

When he thought of this possibility, Ling Feng couldn’t help but feel his skin crawl.

From what he knew, he and Zhao Fei had helped each other through the crisis of their relationship. Zhao Fei was kind and courageous as she chased after her dreams, and he himself could see sothing that he envied in her. She was like the sun, guiding him down the right path.

At first, he thought of her as Xi Wan’s substitute. However, as he spent more ti with Zhao Fei, he slowly realized that they were different. Xi Wan had her own temper and needed to be soothed, but Zhao Fei didn’t; although she looked weak, she had her own ideas and her own stubbornness. That was why Zhao Fei had left so resolutely when she found out that she was a substitute.

But now, Ling Feng realized that things had progressed differently.

He got up and said to Xi Wan apologetically, “I’m sorry. I’ll ask around about this. If it has anything to do with Zhao Fei, I’ll definitely make her apologize to you.”

Xi Wan acknowledged his words with a faint “mmkay” and ignored him.

Just as Ling Feng was about to leave, a man’s voice was heard, “Since when does my wife need Young Master Ling to accompany her when she is shopping?”

Ling Feng and Xi Wan looked towards the source of the sound to see Su Xun standing there.

Zhang Wen silently followed his boss, standing two ters behind him. He wanted to hide, but he couldn’t.

It wasn’t that he was a tattletale, but rather that it was a little risky to be around Ling Feng. When Ling Feng saw Su Xun, he imdiately put away his previous emotions, and his entire being turned cold and cheerless.

“I just happened to run into Xi Wan and heard that she wanted to buy sothing, so I brought her here to shop. I hope you don’t misunderstand. She is a very good person, and now that she’s married to you, I hope you can treat her well.”

Ling Feng spoke to Su Xun in a family-like manner.
