Rebirth from the Ashes

Finding it strange, Fu Qingye gave Jing Yu a look to ask what was going on.

Jing Yu passed the phone to him right away. “Take a look.”

Qingli must have known Shen Xi’s identity for a while, yet he chose to come out at a time like this. He was going to get it for keeping this from the family!

With his grip tightening on the phone, Fu Qingye’s face went through different emotions – joy followed by tears. Walking out of the photoshoot, Fu Qingye gave Fu Qingli a call while informing Jing Yu, “Jing Yu, tell them I have to leave for an emergency. They can delay the shoot or terminate the contract.”

Jing Yu nodded and responded favorably. Everything else could take a backseat as nothing was more important to Qingye than the matter at hand.

Fu Qingye could not get through to Fu Qingli as his line was constantly engaged. After much thought, he phoned Shen Xi instead. However, her phone line was experiencing the same.

Holding onto his phone, Fu Qingye’s body was shaking because of the excitement and thrill. He could feel every inch of his being overwhelmed with joy.

Xixi was his sister.

There was no better news than this.

He should have known. He should have sought confirmation from her!

Shen Xi’s phone was ringing off the hook. The first call to come in was from Jiang Yin. Since Yun Jinping was together with Jiang Yin, Shen Xi basically got two calls in one. Feeling a headache, she explained, “Mom, Jiang Yin, don’t get worked up. I only found out a few days ago. Fu Qingli is looking into my disappearance from way back, so I couldn’t tell you yet.”

It never occurred to Shen Xi that the whole thing would be blown out of proportion, and Fu Qingli was the culprit. Why did the man, who always kept his cool, act on an impulse to battle it out with Su Yi on Weibo?

Her original plan was to lay bare to Mom and Dad when Fu Qingli came looking for her.

Now the whole of China knew she was the Fu family’s daughter and Fu Qingli’s sister. With proof shoved down everyone’s throats, no one would dare to throw mud at her.

Standing nearby, Yan Xiaoxiao and Jiang Xuanxuan were still having a hard time getting over the shock when another headline hit them in the face.

[FuQingye ✓: @CloudSeven My little sister.]

Fu Qingye had a bigger influence than Fu Qingli. At the end of the day, Fu Qingli was a wealthy CEO in the business world. Since his Weibo account was recently registered, it could be argued that he boosted his post to make headlines.

On the other hand, Fu Qingye was an international film star with a following of 50 million fans. The slightest activity on his Weibo account would put the fans in a good mood. With the sudden explosive declaration sending fans on the thrill ride like no other, Fu Qingye’s statement made a bigger splash than Fu Qingli’s paid post.

There might be suspicions of Fu Qingli’s account earlier, but Fu Qingye’s Weibo post cleared all doubts. It was a celebratory moment for Mr. Fu the Movie Star to have found his sister!

Fu Qingye’s fans, especially, gave their blessings and wanted to rub on the good luck because they were aware Fu Qingye had never stopped looking for his sister. No one brought up Su Yi on such a joyous day as the fans believed the piece of sh*t would only taint the page.

“It’s true!” Yan Xiaoxiao found her voice at last.

“Qingye posted on Weibo.” Jiang Xuanxuan bobbed her head before jumping in elation. “Qingye posted on Weibo! He posted!”

Xixi was the Fu family’s daughter. It explained why Qingye came to the dormitory to meet Xixi on the first day of school. Xixi mentioned that they were not close at the time. Not close? That was her brother, she was talking about!

Feeling another pounding headache coming along, Shen Xi glanced at her. Was there a need to be so dramatic? Why did they seem more excited than her, the individual concerned?

Yan Xiaoxiao chuckled at Shen Xi before nudging Jiang Xuanxuan who was dancing around. Another post had made its way to the viral spot. Not to be outdone, someone joined in the posting frenzy.

[FuQingxuan✓: @CaiNi, my sister!]

Compared to Fu Qingli, Fu Qingxuan was widely known among the Chinese community. He was a medical genius with achievements and international awards to match after all. Having made a name for himself at a young age, Fu Qingxuan had graced the covers of medical reports.

His Weibo post was stuck on the third most searched while the top spot was still occupied by Fu Qingli. Such was the infinite power of money that could push an influential figure like Fu Qingye down one spot.

The Fu brothers rooted firmly on the top three trending searches, in sequence according to age. However, judging by the likes and comments, Fu Qingye shot ahead of Fu Qingli and Fu Qingxuan in terms of popularity.

Shen Xi had a face-palm moment. What the hell was this? What game were this trio playing? One person was enough to clear the air. Why were they all eager to climb up the trending chart?

Besides, it was apparent that Fu Qingli and Fu Qingxuan paid to boost their post since they were not that huge in China to go viral.

Shen Xi had just ended the call with Yun Jinping and Jiang Yin when another call was connected right away. It was Song Wenye. Hot with emotions, the girl was bawling her eyes out and talking aloud so much so Shen Xi could go deaf. Pulling the phone away from her ear, Shen Xi uttered in disdain, “Stop crying.”

Song Wenye could not stop the tears from flowing. Shen Xi’s calm voice only made her choke up more. “I… I… knew it… You can’t possibly be Su Yi and Li Jingran’s daughter. They… Don’t deserve you!”

There had been more than one occasion where she wished Xixi could be the daughter of the Fu family. With her dreams becoming reality, Song Wenye was over the moon!

Ye Weiyang and the other girls around Song Wenye were scared to bits by her reaction. Song Wenye was first lashing out and enraged by Su Yi’s post, but tears flooded her eyes when the guy named Fu Qingli published a statement. Without saying a word, she cried and made phone calls after phone calls.

They knew that Shen Xi, who was mentioned in Su Yi’s post, was Song Wenye’s best friend. Nevertheless, the girls had never seen Song Wenye so emotional over anyone or anything.

Now that Song Wenye was starting to talk, the girls were able to relax and check what the fuss was all about. They finally got an idea of Fu Qingli’s background two minutes later. He was Fu Qingye’s older brother and the head of the Fu household. This was a man whose wealth and power put him at the top of the pyramid.

Song Wenye’s friend Shen Xi had so many faces, and any one of the profiles was a mover and shaker in its own right!
