Rebirth from the Ashes Chapter 52 - Kill Shen Xi

Chapter 52: Kill Shen Xi

Afraid that it might be bad if they were seen, Su Mushi quickly pushed Su Ruowan into the dressing room. “Stay with Muyan and leave the rest to me.”
Su Ruowan held onto him, crying and refusing to let him go. “Don’t go, Mushi. I won’t let you do such a thing. Even if it’s her, there must be some misunderstanding!”
“Wanwan, let go.” Su Mushi broke free from Su Ruowan and dashed out.
“Mushi!” Su Ruowan lost her voice crying out in tears. “Muyan, go take a look and stop Mushi! Don’t let him get reckless.”
With Shen Xi being the culprit behind Muyan’s injury, Mushi would not go easy on her and all the better if she ended up dead.
Li Jingran arrived in the room to Su Ruowan bawling her eyes out. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying again?”
“Mom, go take a look, quick.” Su Ruowan really turned on the waterworks. “Muyan said that Shen Xi’s the one who injured him. Mushi went to get payback from her.”
Li Jingran’s eyes abruptly turned cold. “Shen Xi, you say?”
Su Ruowan shook her head amid sobs. “Mom, it must be a misunderstanding. With that temper of Mushi’s, Shen Xi’s bound to get hurt.”
Li Jingran’s eyes spoke of resentment and abhor. “Oh, that brat. How could she do such a horrible thing? She needs to be taught a lesson.”
To think that her heart went out to Shen Xi, that brat moments ago.
A wickedly disgusting thing like Shen Xi did not deserve to be her daughter!
The clear hatred and resentment in Li Jingran’s eyes gave Su Ruowan room to relax. Still, Su Ruowan was overwhelmed with murderous intent.
Mom really went soft on Shen Xi this time.
However, what about the next time?
And the next time after that?
Only by killing Shen Xi could all later troubles be spared.
…
It was still raining outside when Shen Xi came out. By the looks of the drizzling pour, it seemed it would go on all day.
Clinging onto Shen Xi’s arm, Song Wenye took bold steps ahead with her head held high as if it was an honor.
Having broken the ice with Shen Xi, Song Wenye realized that though Shen Xi may put on a cold front, the truth was she was a softie inside. Hence, shamelessness was the way to get through to Shen Xi.
Available to their disposal, Pei Xu held an umbrella for them.
Behind them followed the people from the international class that they brought along.
From afar, Yun Jinping and Shen Zhangqing observed and were surprised with their daughter bonding with a group of people as they came over.
Their daughter never talked about school, but they were aware that her frequent absence in class due to the study of art made her an outcast amongst her classmates.
The isolation took a turn for the worst since her enrollment at No. 4 High School.
Happy to witness Shen Xi hanging out with kids of similar age, Yun Jinping and Shen Zhangqing went up to greet them.
“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Shen.” Song Wenye took the lead and engaged in sweet talk.
Pei Xu and the rest followed suit, explaining that they were there for Shen Xi as classmates.
As this was Shen Zhangqing’s first time seeing her daughter with many friends, he was overjoyed. “Have you guys eaten? Why don’t I take you all out for a meal?”
“Yes, it’s such a cold day today. Let’s eat before heading home.” Yun Jinping zealously commented with a cheerful grin. “Think of it as a celebration for our Xixi.”
Accepting the invite without qualms, Song Wenye let out a sweet smile. “Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Shen. We will eat a lot so don’t hate us for that.”
“Just enjoy and eat all you want. Don’t feel bad for my wallet.” Shen Zhangqing felt comforted.
Their daughter finally had friends.
Back in the lobby at the TV station, Li Jingran and family just walked out and ran into Shen Xi’s group. A hint of obscurity flickered in Li Jingran’s eyes.
