Rebirth from the Ashes Chapter 249 - By Hook or By Crook

Chapter 249: By Hook or By Crook

The only thing on Su Yi’s mind was to kill himself. How could he do such a thing?
He had always raised Wanwan like his own. Su Yi may be a monster, but he would never do such a revolting act!
“Stop crying. Pack up your stuff and I’ll get someone to take you away.” Su Yi looked at her.
There was no use crying over spilled milk. It was a priority to come up with a way to sort this out quickly before anyone found out.
Fortunately, Wanwan was not his biological daughter. Otherwise, his actions would make him no less than a monster.
“I’m not leaving.” Su Ruowan was fixated on him with tear stains on her face. “Dad, I’m not leaving. This is my home. Where are you going to send me away? You’re my dad. I won’t tell anyone about this.”
Su Yi’s head could burst. Nevertheless, his heart melted a little to see her tearful face. “No. How am I supposed to face you from now on?”
“Dad, you’re a movie star.” Su Ruowan stared back at him while showing her vulnerable and helpless side. “I don’t want anything. You can give everything to Shen Xi and my only wish is that you don’t drive me away. This is the home where I grew up. Mom, Dad, and my brothers are all here. I don’t want to go anywhere else.”
Su Yi stood before her. “Do as you’re told, and I’ll make it worth your while.”
Since he stood his stance, Su Ruowan went for it. “I’ll tell Mom the whole thing if you throw me out.”
Su Yi swiftly turned cranky and ruthless, but he tried to put aside his anger. “Stop crying. You can stay, but if you breathe one word about this, don’t blame me for forgetting about whatever father-daughter relationship we ever have.”
Burying her face in the sheets, Su Ruowan trembled her body while whimpering softly. The man’s words saw her sneering to herself.
Ha. All men were the same. There was nothing good about them.
This animal always claimed that he saw her as his own, but when it came to the crunch, he chose Shen Xi and ditched her instead.
If he were to keep to his words, which included allowing her to stay with the Su family, being nice to her, and listen to her, Su Ruowan would treat him well but think of him as a father as always.
Well, in the event he was to blow her off, it was not her fault for showing no quarter in return.
Su Yi still had business to take care of. Nothing was more important than bringing Shen Xi back. After calming Su Ruowan down, he went to the hospital to see Li Jingran.
Yesterday, he hit a wall during his visit to Shen’s residence. On top of that, he was intimidated by a person like Shen Zhangqing and left with an egg on his face.
Today, Su Yi and Li Jingran were going together with their lawyer to talk with Shen Zhangqing and his wife.
Shen Zhangqing and his wife were only nouveau riche from the village. With people like them, using the law and talking about taking them to court was a good enough intimidation and a sure-fire way to get them to hand over their daughter.
…
It was unusually lively at No. 4 High School today.
Last night, Pei Xu, alongside the trolls of the international class, took over the school’s forum. No one was allowed to post other than them.
All the posts were calling out Su Mushi to quit being a coward and to deliver as promised in the bet.
However, Su Mushi seemed to vanish into thin air and could not be found. Even Su Ruowan did not attend school.
The break after the second period was reserved for physical education.
The tenth and eleventh graders were to join in for a workout while the twelfth graders could use the time to study. This session was not compulsory except for Mondays.
“Alpha Xu, Alpha, Su Mushi, Su Mushi, he…” Lin Ge was gasping for air as he rushed over.
