Rebirth from the Ashes

The people who came were none other than Li Jingran and Su Mushi. They had come on set to support and cheer Su Ruowan on but their flight was delayed. Having seen the trending news while on the way, they rushed over.

After hearing a staff member addressing her mother, Su Ruowan clenched her fists but was relieved. Everything was fine. With her mother around, she would take her side and make everything right.

Su Mushi dismissed the staff members.

Li Jingran approached Su Ruowan who was lying in bed with a complicated look on her face. Her eyes welled up as she sat on the bed and cried, “Wanwan.”

Why was the child so careless to be caught? Who did Mr. Xixi think he was to bring the matter out in the open?

Did he not know who Wanwan was? Was he that unafraid to step on the Su family’s toes? Mr. Xixi was committing career suicide with that stunt of his.

There was no point for Su Ruowan to go on with the faint spell as she knew how best to play with Li Jingran’s emotions. Shaking from head to toe, Su Ruowan turned her back towards Li Jingran and buried her head in her chest to weep.

Li Jingran paused for long before sighing. “It was foolish of you!”

In the music industry, doing covers and alterations to songs were a norm as long as the copyrights were in hand. Plagiarism was nothing on the condition that it was not exposed. Still, Su Ruowan could be saved even if she was exposed, but it was a different story since she was discovered during the premiere and on the main stage.

Things would not get out of hand if Wanwan’s song was discovered a week later. The public opinions were through the roof right now and the impact on Su Ruowan’s reputation was dire.

Without a word, Su Ruowan wailed in despair and helplessness.

Unable to stand by and watch, Su Mushi appeared indignant. “Mom, Wanwan is upset enough. It’s not the time to give her a lecture. At the end of the day, it’s all that d*mn Mr. Xixi’s fault.”

People made mistakes, and Wanwan only committed a minor one. These sh*t-face musicians were not that virtuous either. Many stole and plagiarized foreign songs and claimed them as their own, yet they managed to get a clean slate.

Li Jingran frowned. “What’s going on with that Mr. Xixi guy? He seemed to have strong views against Wanwan.”

She had a strange feeling about Mr. Xixi, and it was not a nice one. His character and mannerism were not to her liking.

“He’s out to get Wanwan. Wanwan mentioned that he knows Shen Xi. I’m sure that brat sent him to mess with Wanwan.” Su Mushi gnashed his teeth in anger.

Shen Xi, the vile brat, was the cause of all this. They could not seem to get rid of her. Many passed away from the world every day but why could she not be one of the statistics?

Fury and resentment boiled within Li Jingran at the mention of Shen Xi’s name. Why did she not kill that brat when she was born? Now that Shen Xi was all grown up, the brat was out to destroy and harm her family.

Su Mushi wished Shen Xi could just die already. Looking at Su Ruowan who was crying her eyes out, he heartbreakingly said, “Don’t cry, Wanwan. Your mom and I will bring you justice.”

Wanwan was not to be blamed for this. She was merely unlucky to be targeted by Mr. Xixi.

The Su family had enough power and connections in showbiz to control the comments and sway public opinion. Whatever happened online would not stay for long, and soon everyone would forget about this.
