Rebirth from the Ashes

“Sure.” Song Wenye nodded compliantly with a smile. She glanced at the lot in the living room who were giving each other the cold shoulder, sighing at these clearly miserable men.

She was envious of Xixi at first for gaining many brothers. Yet now, it was awful for Song Wenye to watch the brothers fight over Xixi.

The snow had stopped falling by the time the sun was up. Although the snow that built upon the road had been cleared by a snowplow, it was still an icy road.

Ruan Sisi waited in the car outside while Shen Xi went alone into the café.

Having booked an elegant private dining room, Zhou Zhen waited for Shen Xi inside. She seemed a little reserved when Shen Xi walked in. Zhou Zhen uttered with a smile, “Hello, Ms. Cai Ni.”

Zhou Zhen still addressed Shen Xi as Ms. Cai Ni.

Shen Xi nodded in return before taking a seat across from Zhou Zhen. Shen Xi went straight to the point. “Tell me why you want to see me.”

Bearing a bittersweet look, Zhou Zhen forced a smile. “Ms. Cai Ni, I want to ask you for someone. I hope you can fulfill my wish.”

Shen Xi was curious. “Tell me.”

“Twant Li Jingran.” Zhou Zhen might not have any feelings for the Su family, but something stirred inside her when she saw loony Li Jingran. Perhaps it was the godd*mn kinship in the works. It made Zhou Zhen sick to the stomach, yet she had to accept the fact. “Li Jingran has gone nuts. She’s delirious

to recognize anyone and that’s probably how she’d be for the rest of her life. I can promise that she won’t do anything to harm you.”

Shen Xi calmly stared at Zhou Zhen without a word, waiting for the latter to carry on.

“It’s ridiculous, really. I don’t know why I have sympathy for someone like her. I just look at her and think how sad and pitiful she is. I don’t want to see her locked up in the mental hospital for the rest of her life.” Zhou Zhen took a deep breath and let out a self-deprecating smile. She then withdrew from

her emotions and looked Shen Xi in the eye. “Mr. Fu saved my life. He told me to get your opinion on this.”

The Su family was either dead or deranged. As of this morning, Su Mushi had died in intensive care. Li Jingran was the only one alive in the Su family. Oh, Zhou Zhen was probably counted as one of the Su family members now.

The situation was not looking good for Li Jingran. Whoever she met, Li Jingran would call them Sister and kowtow to apologize. Zhou Zhen knew that Li Jingran was talking about Yuan Heng, the mother of her half-brother, Yuan Heng. Su Yi and Li Jingran were accomplices in taking Yuan Heng’s life.

Shen Xi sighed to herself when she caught wind of the elders’ attitude. Never mind. She had to admit that Yu Qiubai made a good choice if Shen Tang liked him too. Shen Xi drew near to Shen Feng and whispered, “How did Yu Qiubai buy you off?”

Shen Feng spoke in hushed tones, “No one bought me. He’s a nice guy.”

Shen Xi replied, “How is he nice?”

Shen Feng answered, “He follows my sister in secret every day and walks her home.”

Shen Xi retorted, “That’s called a stalking pervert.”

Shen Tang said, “My sister knows, and he knows my sister knows.”

Why bother stalking then? Yu Qiubai might as well outrightly walk her home. Shen Xi inquired, “And?”

Shen Feng sighed. “My sister likes him.”

This reason alone triumphed over everything else. His sister might not admit it or give in to Yu Qiubai, but Shen Feng knew that she took a liking to Yu Qiubai. Otherwise, his sister would have turned Yu Qiubai down long ago.

Yu Qiubai was a good guy, but he was a little young. He was younger than Shen Feng by a year too. Shen Feng found it awkward to call someone younger his brother-in-law.

“Fine.” Shen Xi gave up. Her only wish more than anything was for Shen Tang to live happily ever after in this life.

“Let’s not talk about my sister but you. Yours is the head of the Li family. Can you handle him?” Shen Feng had heard the chilling rumors.

Although the person was friendly in real life, there must be some truth to the rumors. The whole family would go after Li Yuan if he ever lay a finger on Shen Xi!

Come to think of it, the Shen family had no reason to fear Li Yuan as the Fu family had joined the alliance. The Fu family could take Li Yuan down. Fu Qingli, in particular, was a force to be reckoned with..
