Rebirth from the Ashes

Fu Qingli’s voice was clear and heartless as he said, “I don’t know her.”

Shen Xi felt like vomiting blood. ‘Don’t know me, huh?! Look at this ungrateful son of a b*tch casting me to one side after using me!’

The other time in Tianheng, she put on a disguise yet he could still recognize her immediately. Now that she was only wearing a mask, he somehow did not know her?

Fu Qingli and the beauty finally came to the front.

After the lady took the album, she kicked Fu Qingli and winked at him, signaling him to get this girl’s contact number since he was interested in her.

“Let’s go.” Fu Qingli turned around and left.

The beauty looked at Shen Xi and smiled gently. Her voice was also soft. “Miss, is it okay if I get your contact number?”

Shen Xi said, “Sorry.”

The beauty looked at Shen Xi’s curved smiling eyes. Although the girl’s eyes were indifferent, it gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. After a moment, she returned to her senses and said, “It’s okay then. Thanks and work hard!”

Shen Xi watched as the beautiful woman caught up with Fu Qingli. The woman raised her hand with the album wanting to hit him with it, but she did not want to ruin the album, so in the end, she switched hands and slapped Fu Qingli on the back of his head. It was vicious and fierce.

Shen Xi was stunned and speechless. ‘That pretty lady hit Fu Qingli? Fu Qingli?! She actually hit that God of Hell Fu Qingli?!’

“Xixi, what are you looking at?” Song Wenye followed her gaze. Her eyes lit up and she pointed at the man dressed in black. “That’s the eldest Fu brother, right?”

Shen Xi truly admired Song Wenye for her weird hawkeye talent. The man was so far away, dressed like that, and had his back turned to them, yet she could recognize him. Shen Xi let out a faint “mm”, shifted her gaze, and continued distributing the album.

Song Wenye squealed with excitement and pulled Shen Xi. “Xixi, look! That lady is his girlfriend, right?”

Shen Xi turned and saw Fu Qingli bending down his noble body, then the pretty lady jumped onto his back and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Song Wenye was getting a little emotional. She always thought that such a cold and arrogant person like Fu Qingli would not have friends or anyone who liked him. She did not expect him to have a girlfriend that even seemed so close to him.

She hugged Shen Xi’s arm and cried with envy. “Big Brother Fu is so sweet to his girlfriend…”

The eldest Fu brother that was out of their sight asked the person helplessly on his back, “Lil Aunt, are you done fooling around?”

Fu Junqiu mercilessly pinched his ears. “My dear nephew, you’d better come clean! Who’s that girl?! You looked at her that way, so if you’re not interested in her, what is it?”

She knew this nephew of hers very well. Not to mention women, not even a female fly would swarm around him.

“Someone I’ll never see again.” Fu Qingli’s voice was clear and cold. He looked helpless again. “I know your foot is fine. If you want people to stare at you, be my guest.”

Fu Junqiu sighed deeply. “You’re such a robot! What will I do if you can’t find a wife? How can I explain this to our ancestors?”

Fu Qingli was speechless.

Fu Junqiu murmured, “You really shouldn’t be the Fu family’s eldest grandson.”

He was mature at a very young age and was introspective in nature. Since he was young, he had been shouldering the burden of the Fu family. He became more reserved and smiled less as the days passed. It was heartbreaking to see.

If Fu Qingye was the oldest, then he would not be like Fu Qingli and bottled everything up in his heart. Fu Qingli would never talk to anyone. Even if the sky was collapsing, he would carry the burden himself.

Fu Qingli was silent, and his eyes grew darker.

‘Lil Aunt is wrong. No matter who sits in my position, they will become the same as me.’

Being the eldest grandson of the Fu family was like being shackled. He could not shirk off this responsibility no matter what. To keep this position, he must strengthen himself and be invulnerable. Otherwise, how could he be a good commander?

“I like that girl from earlier. Let’s go over there to buy some food for them. They must be so tired distributing all these albums.” Fu Junqiu looked at the album in her hand. The handsome young man on the cover made her eyes light up with joy as she smiled and said, “This little cutie…”

Fu Qingli sighed. “You can chase idols, but don’t expose your identity.”

Fu Junqiu pinched his face. “Li, don’t you think it’s tiring to live like this? As humans, we need to be happy and seize the moment…”

Fu Qingli swept a threatening gaze at her.

Fu Junqiu surrendered. “I know, I know… I absolutely won’t expose my identity, okay? I promise.”

‘This punk is so old-fashioned and such a bore! I finally came to China and got caught by this stick-in-the-mud…’

Fu Qingli never trusted his aunt, and as if he could read her mind, he said in a deep voice, “Lil Aunt, I advise you to stop thinking about escaping.”

His aunt would create trouble wherever she went, so to avoid her making a big scene again, Fu Qingli was determined to tie her to his side and watch her closely.

Fu Junqiu pestered Fu Qingli and was adamant about buying some snacks for the girls as a treat. They bought milk tea and bread, but when they went back to the square, the girls were already gone. Fu Junqiu looked at her nephew. “Go and ask where those girls went!”

“Lil Aunt, do you like her so much?” Fu Qingli’s eyebrows knitted slightly. She had only just met the girl but her obsession and interest in the girl were too obvious.

“Yeah, that girl gives me a very pleasant vibe.” Fu Junqiu looked at him. “If you like her, then hurry up and pursue her!”

Fu Qingli had a bit of a headache. Seeing that she was so aggressive, he sighed. “She’s still underage.”

Besides, how could he possibly like a little girl who was so much younger than him?

“If she’s underage, you can wait till she becomes an adult!” Fu Junqiu ordered him. “Quick! Ask where she went! Don’t talk to me about anything else.”

“I don’t have her contact.” Fu Qingli looked at the time and said, “Also, need I remind you that it’s now time to go see your uncle?”

Fu Junqiu felt regretful and ordered her bodyguard to hand out the things she had bought to the passersby. She helped to hand out the snacks, then ran away when Fu Qingli was not paying attention.

After she ran far enough and made sure that she ditched them, she stopped and held a tree trunk to catch her breath.

“Lil Aunt, are you done running?” Fu Qingli stood in front of her and stared down at her. He even thoughtfully handed her a bottle of water.

“Fu Qingli!” Fu Junqiu let out an irritable growl and turned to flee.

Fu Qingli clasped her arm, then dragged her into the car and slammed the door shut. He then got into the car and said, “Lil Aunt, you’d better behave. You can’t run away from me.”

Fu Junqiu glared at him viciously and gritted her teeth. “Fu Qingli, what’s the point of you watching me? Can’t you do something more important?!”
