Rebirth from the Ashes

Shen Xi!

No way could Su Ruowan ever accept that fact. Shen Xi was a piece of sh*t who Su Ruowan had beaten and was kicked out of the Su family. The b*tch should be living a miserable life like a beggar. Why did Shen Xi have a lot of good going on for her? Why did the b*tch have more in life than she did? Even an outstanding man was smiling so tenderly and dotingly at Shen Xi.

Finding the sight of them together an eyesore, Su Ruowan imagined cutting Shen Xi to pieces while fancying herself in the man’s arms.

“Don’t squirm.” Holding breakfast in his hand, Li Yuan gazed at the girl in his arms. He wanted to put her down, but he could not bear to have her feet cold since she was barefooted. He helplessly but dotingly said, “Watch the soy milk.”

“Oh!” Shen Xi compliantly responded. Out of the corner of his eyes, he languidly caught a glimpse of Su Ruowan crashing onto the door frame. He watched on with scorn.

Su Ruowan suddenly fell on her knee in a thump. She tearfully cried, “Shen Xi, I beg you! Please save Mom and Dad! Save the family! Only you can save us now.”

Her eyes may seem to be facing Shen Xi, but the truth was, they were locked on Li Yuan the whole time. She brought it up to let the man know that Shen Xi, the b*tch, did not deserve his love. The b*tch was an unfilial animal who was ruthless and heartless to her parents.

“Kun Lun,” Shen Xi impatiently shouted.

“Shen Xi, please. Save the family that you’re a part of. I can leave the Su family if you hate me. I will go far away and never show my face in your presence.” Su Ruowan was crying rather desperately. “I beg you. Please save Mom and Dad and help out the Su family.”

Su Ruowan did not believe the man would be apathetic to her words and not press Shen Xi for answers.

Shen Xi must have withheld information about her family while dating him. There was no escaping for the b*tch once the man found out about her relationship with the Su family.

The man would not date someone like Shen Xi if he was no idiot. Without a question, he was going to boot her off.

Having been bitten once, Kun Lun left his gentleman values at the door. He seized Su Ruowan by the arm and clipped it to her back. To hell with being considerate to women. He dragged her away.

Since Su Ruowan had nothing to lose at this point, she widened her bloodshot eyes and tried to scream. However, the pain in her neck saw her blacking out. She lost consciousness before she had a chance to say anything.

Kun Lun glanced at the woman with disgust and yanked her like a dead dog to hurl her next to the trash bin at the stairwell. He then removed the clothes she had touched and threw them away too. Kun Lun took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands that came in contact with Su Ruowan before tossing the handkerchief with a look of disgust.

The d*mn woman. How dare she behave atrociously in front of Boss? He had no idea what was going through Ms. Shen’s head, but why did she let a waste of space like Su Ruowan walk the earth?

Back in the presidential suite, Shen Xi dangled her feet on the chair as she cleaned her ear with a cotton bud. Su Ruowan spoiled her good mood bright early in the morning, but she would not have a few days left to prance around.

Li Yuan put out the breakfast and approached the girl. He reached out to grab her arm. “Stay still when you’re cleaning your ears. You might hurt yourself.”

“Oh.” On her best behavior, Shen Xi nodded and lifted her head to meet his eyes with a smile. She asked, “Brother, can you clean my ears?”

Li Yuan said, “After you have your breakfast.”

“Sure.” Shen Xi proceeded to clean her ear and aimed the cotton bud right into the trash can.

Just thinking about what Su Ruowan said made Shen Xi chuckle. Oh, Shen Xi could only imagine the look on Su Ruowan and the brute Su family’s faces when they were to find out that she was actually the daughter of the Fu family.

Shen Xi got the kick at the thought of their hopeless and horrifying expression when they learned the truth.

Li Yuan dotingly smiled as the girl curled a cunning smile like a little fox up to no good. He put a soup dumpling into her bowl. “Are you heading to the set later?”

Shen Xi uttered, “Yes. What about you?”

Li Yuan replied, “I’m going back to the capital. I have a chess game with your dad tonight.”

Shen Xi spoke with her mouth full. “You can go back in the afternoon.”

She was reluctant to let him go.

Li Yuan was jubilant. “Are you bringing me to the set?”

Shen Xi’s voice grew bleak with a hint of woe. “Don’t you want to go?”

Li Yuan answered, “I want to.”

When Ms. Cai Ni brought her boyfriend to the set, they merely walked by once, but it was enough to stir the entire production crew. Soon, they were nicknamed the handsome couple.

One of the actors gasped in admiration. “Jesus Christ. Ms. Lin Chan, Ms. Cai Ni’s boyfriend is better looking than the cute dude from yesterday.”

“I’m envious. I guess it goes without saying that hotties only make friends with hotties. Why don’t I have any dreamboats around me?” Someone lamented.

“Ms. Cai Ni is surrounded by hunks, all right? I heard from the security guard that the young man who popped in with her yesterday was handsome too.” Another person provided intel.

“There’s more?” Others expressed surprise and wanted in on the juicy story.

“The security officer at the gate said he was a teenager around Ms. Cai Ni’s age. He thought they were a couple.” Someone verified the fact.

One person among the group counted the number of beaus around Ms. Cai Ni on their fingers. Many people knew that Ms. Cai Ni had a good relationship with Fu Qingye the Movie Star. That was one. The man yesterday was another one. The youngster who dropped by the set together with her was another count. Her boyfriend today made the fourth!

The discussion was getting ramped up with everyone curious about the sensation that could rock the community to its core if the pretty faces Ms. Cai Ni knew were to enter showbiz.

Hu Zheng had just strolled around the production studio before approaching the group. Finding it odd, he asked, “Did anyone see Su Ruowan?”

Why was she absent? Su Ruowan did not apply for leave. She did not answer her phone either. Her scene was next, and she should at least leave a message about her attendance. The shooting progress could not be held up just because of her.

The mention of Su Ruowan’s name stopped the group from their discussion. They exchanged looks with strange faces.

With the way things had turned out, Su Ruowan would not dare show her face on the set unless she had thick skin. Was she not boycotted and petitioned by netizens to leave the production?

“I don’t know,” Lin Chan responded.

As a matter of fact, she saw Su Ruowan. The latter was crying on her knees at Ms. Cai Ni’s doorstep. The assistant of Ms.. Cai Ni’s boyfriend knocked her out cold and threw her next to the trash bin.
