Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Love At First Sight

The natural air of nobility that came from within Cai Ni in particular, was unachievable without generations of establishment.

Jing Yu was curious about Ms. Cai Ni’s identity. Which family did she belong to?

“I shall take my leave then, Mr. Fu. See you tomorrow.” Shen Xi got up and politely smiled at the man before her.

Shen Xi did not want to impose and be a nuisance since she was here on official business. Moreover, she always kept business and private affairs separate.

“Ms. Cai Ni, take care.” Fu Qingye sent her off to the door, only shutting the door once the girl’s figure was out of sight. Unable to withhold his high-strung emotions, he turned to Jing Yu and instructed, “Check on it. I want to know everything about her in two minutes.”

“Yes, Mr. Fu.” Jing Yu acknowledged with respect.

Besides being Fu Qingye’s manager, Jing Yu was also his brother, assistant, and the most trusted confidant at his beck and call. Anything to do with the Fu family was Jing Yu’s business.

The fairy, Cai Ni, was almost an exact copy in terms of bearings and looks to the madam at home. Judging by the excited look on Mr. Fu’s face, he probably made the same assumption that Cai Ni might be the young miss who had gone missing.

Jing Yu’s efficiency at work was not to be questioned as he completed the task in two minutes on the dot.

After Jing Yu handed the printed document to him, Fu Qingyu was in shock by the information he read. His heart ached to learn about the fairy’s past.

Fu Qingye ran his eyes over and over the single-paged personal details. The delight and excitement in his eyes vanished, leaving only lament and disappointment.

His heart sank to an all-time low.

No!

It turned out she was not his sister.

She was identical to Mother only because she was a daughter of the Su family, Su Yi and Li Jingran’s daughter.

Li Jingran was a piece of work, forsaking her own daughter and raising someone else’ daughter instead.

The girl beside her the other day was not her biological daughter, but rather her adopted daughter.

Fu Qingye let out a cold smirk while his long dainty fingers stroked past her name – Shen Xi.

His mind flew back to the young lady’s beautiful face, which was aloof and mature for her age.

A girl of her age was accepted home by her birth parents yet snubbed and cast away. It must be quite an upsetting blow for her to go through such a painful experience.

Just the thought of it left his chest tightening and filled him with heartache.

To abandon their own daughter, Li Jingran and her husband could not be considered humans. It seemed that it was in their family’s filthy blood to ditch their own flesh and blood.

So, they shut her out, huh?

Well, he would welcome her!

The girl shared the same fate as his mother and going by relations, she was his cousin.

Fu Qingye would protect her and keep her out of harm’s way.

Shen Xi had already got off the lift, bothered by a weird feeling.

There was something off about the way Fu Qingye was looking at her. His eyes were the tender kind.

Whether on video or photographs, she had never seen this side of Mr. Fu the Movie Star.

He was a true heir to a well-known family. No matter the setting, Mr. Fu remained noble, elegant, and a gentleman. However, there would always be a distance felt, owing to his blue-blooded status.

Yet, Mr. Fu was a little too intimate and affectionate towards her. Had vanity gone to her head, Shen Xi would think that he had fallen head over heels for her at first sight.
