Chapter 235 - Conspiracy
Su Jin looked at the confident Merlin, and was speechless. Everyone had already agreed. What was the point of asking her now? It was impossible for Su Jin to disagree now. These were all part of Merlin’s conspiracy.
Merlin gained more confidence when she saw Su Jin’s lack of response. She would be worried if Su Jin suddenly agreed. Recalling the information Xi Shi had given her, she became even more confident and spoke deliberately into the microphone.
“I almost forgot. It seems that Miss Su Jin isn’t doing well in her studies. She’s always been a zero-mark trash. Is it because your English isn’t good that you don’t understand what I’m saying? Why don’t you use a portable translator?”
Merlin pretended to cover her mouth innocently as she spoke. Her eyes were filled with wickedness. Anyway, this girl was going to make a fool of herself soon, so the humiliation may as well start a little earlier. She treated it as interest payment from the earlier matter and quickly added condescendingly, “Miss Su Jin, I’m really sorry. I’m just a person who speaks too quickly. I say things as they are. I didn’t say that on purpose, nor do I look down on you. Don’t be angry.”
The crowd was also emboldened by Merlin. They looked at Su Jin in disbelief. This person with master-level skills was actually a zero-mark trash? They started to discuss,
“I didn’t expect such a genius to be a piece of trash.”
“That’s right. As expected, no one is perfect. God is fair. He gave her the talent to play the piano, but he made her a useless piece of trash in her studies.” “So that’s how it is. No wonder this girl hasn’t spoken a word. It turns out that she doesn’t know how to speak at all. That’s why she hasn’t spoken at all, just like a deaf-mute.”
Everyone could not help but sigh. God was fair. You win some, you lose some. Merlin’s lackeys did not care about these things and started to flatter her.
“In that case, Miss Merlin is the amazing one. She’s an all-rounder.”
“She doesn’t only play the piano, she’s also an outstanding student who wins a scholarship every year. She’s also helping her father with company business. She’s very capable.”
“In that case, this girl is just a little prettier and plays the piano better. She’s not as outstanding as Miss Merlin at all!”
Xi Chenxiao looked at the crowd coldly. The aura around him was even colder and more terrifying. When Xi Tian heard these words, he was so angry that he wanted to retort. Madam was a world-class hacker. How could she not understand English, how could she be a bad student? Madam was better than all these people.
Xi Chenxiao sensed Xi Tian’s agitation. Although he too wanted to stand up and say something, but he saw that Su Jin was not at all flustered, he looked at Xi Tian sternly and ordered,
“Don’t panic. Trust Madam. She always surprises us.”
Xi Tian clenched his fist and let go. The chairman was right. Madam was full of unexpected surprises. It seems like there was nothing Madam couldn’t do. He replied respectfully, “Yes, your subordinate also believes in Madam.”
Randall looked at the stage anxiously. He wanted to go up and stop Merlin. This was too much. He really did not know what Merlin was thinking. Must she offend Chairman Xi? That’s not a good thing. He said,
“What is Merlin trying to do? Is she crazy? She actually said all those things about Madam Xi. Does she think it’s fun to provoke Chairman
Xi?”
Moreover, he liked this beautiful girl. He did not want his unreasonable sister to bully this beautiful girl. This was too much. Furthermore, they were discussing partnership with the Xi family!
Max went forward and stopped Randall. He had a complicated expression. Although he knew the importance of this partnership, he could not embarrass his own daughter for an outsider. Besides, Chairman Xi did not react. He said urgently,
“Why are you panicking? Chairman Xi is still calmly sitting there!”
Only then did Randall come back to his senses. He saw Xi Chenxiao sitting there calmly with no intention to intervene. This made him even angrier. How could he not know Merlin? This was bullying. He replied quickly,
“Father, I think Chairman Xi doesn’t care about this young girl at all!”
