Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 328
Chapter 328: Can He… Trust Her for Once?
Shen Xi calmed her heart. Since Jiang Yin promised her, it should not be a problem. Just when she was about to turn around and go back inside, someone called out to her.
“Ms. Shen!” Fang Zhu strode over and stood in front of her respectfully.
He was about to go to the airport and happened to pass by here. With one glance, he saw the boss’s girl standing at the entrance of the police station, so he had to come down to enquire.
“You haven’t left yet?” Shen Xi looked at him politely.
“I was just about to leave.” Fang Zhu stood there and heard the chaos coming from the police station. “Are you in some kind of trouble?”
Shen Xi replied, “It’s no trouble. It’ll be solved soon, so don’t tell your boss.”
Fang Zhu reassured her and said, “Ms. Shen, don’t worry.”
Not telling the boss was impossible. If his boss knew that they were hiding something from him, he would be skinned alive! Fang Zhu still wanted to live a good life.
Shen Xi said a few more words to him, then sent the man away.
Opposite the road in the Maybach, the man in the driver’s seat turned around, revealing a handsome demonic face. He looked at Fang Zhu and laughed. “Our lady boss is so cute!”
Fang Zhu glared at him as a warning. “Fu Yu, you’d better watch your mouth.”
Fu Yu smiled indifferently and asked him, “What’s wrong? Why is Lil Madam in the police station?”
Fang Zhu leaned back in his seat. The corners of his lips curled into a cold and dangerous smile. He said, “Let’s go and pay the Xia family a visit.”
The Xia family’s son wanted to sue Lil Madam’s friend, so he wanted to knock on their door and remind them of what they should and should not do.
Half an hour later.
In the VIP ward of A City’s First People’s Hospital.
Xia Hai looked furious as he pointed at his son and lectured him. “If you dare to cause trouble again next time, just watch what I’ll do to you!”
‘Ha! Look at what he’s done!’
“Dad, what’s wrong? You’re the one who said that the Xia family can’t be bullied by anybody. He messed with me first and broke my leg!” Xia Ze looked at him resentfully with red eyes.
It had only been less than an hour since the incident, so how did his father’s attitude toward him flip 180 degrees? Did his father encounter something?
“Do you know who Qi Xiu is? Do you know who’s backing him? You went looking for trouble and you’re lucky that they didn’t kill you!” Xia Hai was pissed off by his useless son who offended powerful people.
He did not just offend anyone, but someone who they could not afford to mess with. Fortunately, the other party did not make a big deal out of it. Otherwise, they were done for!
First, Old Master Wen called Old Master Xia and asked him to be merciful and give Qi Xiu a chance. Their younger generation just got into a small conflict, so they should not make a big deal of it.
Old Master Wen was a powerful figure in the southern region of China.
The old man was scared to death and immediately called his son, Xia Hai to find out what was going on and what kind of conflict alarmed Old Master Wen.
Then when Xia Hai was on his way over to the hospital, he was stopped by someone from the Li family. He almost died of shock there and then.
The assistants of the Head of the Li family, Fang Zhu and Fu Yu, went to his car personally and smiled as they told him to be careful in the future. He should be watchful of his life.
Just thinking of that scene made Xia Hai’s soul shudder with fear. It was such a dangerous feeling of being so close to death.
“I don’t know…” Xia Ze saw his father’s face and spoke in meekly. “Isn’t he just a bar singer? What’s his status?”
‘Is everyone’s status higher than mine now?’
First, it was Shen Feng, who slapped him in the face with money and stole his new car.
Then, it was that bar singer. If the bar singer had an unusual status, would he need to stoop so low to sing in a small bar?
“You don’t need to know his identity, but just know that our family can’t afford to mess with him!” Xia Hai looked at his son and said in a serious tone, “When you’re out and about in the future, you’d better be more cautious and change your stinking habit of judging people by their appearance!”
Xia Hai was tempted to ask someone to find out Qi Xiu’s real identity. How did he get Old Master Wen and the Li family to stand up for him at the same time?
However, he did not dare to do so because if he did a background check on the boy and the Li family found out, he might not even know how he died.
“Okay,” Xia Ze answered obediently. “I’ll call the police station now and tell them to settle.”
“I’ve already spoken to the police.” Xia Hai pointed at him and scolded him again. “What’s the use of settling? Get up now and come with me. You have to go to him and apologize now.”
It was too late for them to settle now.
Xia Ze did not dare to retort knowing that he had offended someone they could not afford to provoke. Besides anger, there was also fear in his heart. He lowered his eyes and obediently said, “Okay.”
The police station received a call from Xia Hai to release Qi Xiu. After Qi Xiu walked out of the station, they started whispering to each other.
“What’s going on here? An hour ago, the Xia family sent a lawyer over to act tough saying that he’ll make sure this guy will get sued and go to jail.”
After only a short while, Xia Hai actually called to apologize and wanted to send them home safely.
However, those youngsters refused, so they could not do anything about it.
At the police station entrance, Shen Xi and Shen Feng parted ways with Qi Xiu.
Shen Feng was angry and turned around after taking two steps. He felt sorry for Shen Xi and glared at Qi Xiu. “Hey, ungrateful bastard! My sister saved you, and this is your attitude?”
‘If I had known, I wouldn’t have saved him and let him reflect on his behavior in jail! We’ll see how proud he’ll be then!’
Qi Xiu knew that Shen Xi was the one who saved him, but she did not ask for any favor in return and did not mention the contract again. He looked back at them and said, “Didn’t I already say thank you?”
The girl’s brother looked very angry when he shouted at him and snapped at him.
Shen Xi’s back was facing Qi Xiu. When she heard Shen Feng’s words, she pulled him over, looking rather annoyed.
Shen Feng was grumpy and yelled, “Shen Xi, you’re too nice and want nothing in return for saving that jerk. I’ll be the bad guy. I doubt he even knows who he offended!”
Xia Ze was a member of the Xia family, so Shen Xi must have gone to great lengths to help the singer.
‘This ungrateful jerk thinks that a simple thank you can cancel out her efforts?!’
Qi Xiu watched the two of them leave. Her brother was still indignantly scolding him for being heartless.
When she turned her head, Qi Xiu could see her helpless smile. He suddenly felt moved and shouted, “Do you mean what you said back in the police car?”
Could he… trust her for once?
