Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Pei Xu Was Slapped

Shen Xi looked up and saw a dozen people in front of her. They were all wearing racing suits and were looking at the person being slapped with disdain, mockery, and hatred in their eyes.

The one who was slapped was Pei Xu.

The woman who slapped Pei Xu wore a black racing suit and had short hair. She was beautiful, but her cheekbones were too high and her eyes were very dark. She looked very wicked.

She looked at Pei Xu and said angrily, “Pei Xu, Sinian’s still lying in the ward, but you’re living the good life and even partying at the KTV, huh?”

Pei Xu reached out and wiped the corner of his lips. He looked at the blood on his fingers and smiled. “Xu Wei, you can come to the KTV for a good time, so why can’t I?”

Xu Wei sneered. “I’m not like you! I’m not an ungrateful fool that will continue to live shamelessly after killing my own brother.”

“Xu Wei.” Pei Xu roared. Blood was gushing out from underneath his eyes as he stared at her to correct her word by word. “He’s not dead!”

“Yes, he’s not dead, but he’s just a vegetable. He’ll never wake up again for the rest of his life and won’t feel anything. For him, this is more painful than death!” Xu Wei looked at Pei Xu and mocked him.

“Xu Wei, do you want him to die so badly?” Pei Xu sneered.

“Pei Xu, you don’t have to spout nonsense.” Xu Wei’s face was distorted from anger. “You murderer! If I were you, I wouldn’t have the courage to live if I put my own brother in that situation.”

“I like talking nonsense.” Pei Xu looked at her furious face as emotions surged in the depths of his eyes. “For the sake of Brother Nian, I’ll let you get away with this slap, but if you dare touch me again, don’t blame me for being unkind.”

“How unkind do you plan to be? You made Nian like that, so are you planning to kill me too?” Xu Wei got a little anxious and blocked his path.

Xu Wei did not know if Pei Xu was testing her or if he already knew something. She could not tell what he was thinking.

Pei Xu did not want to babble on with her and coldly said, “Get out of my way.”

“What if I don’t? You can kill me here so I can accompany Nian. It’s better than living alone in this world.” Xu Wei was aggressive.

She wanted to find out if Pei Xu had something on her.

“Xu Wei, how dare you say such things?” Pei Xu suddenly laughed. The corner of his lips hooked up in a dangerous mockery. “Do you think I don’t know what you did behind Nian’s back?”

A murderous glint flickered under her eyes. Her hand hanging at her side clenched into a fist. Seeing that Pei Xu was about to leave, she called out to him. “Pei Xu, you want to see Nian, right?”

‘He knew. He saw it.’

That time when she said she saw Pei Xu, she was told she was overthinking and nervous that she was scaring herself.

Xu Wei had persisted, planned, and bent over backward, to get the recognition of the Ning family. Everything she wanted was just within her reach, so she absolutely could not let Pei Xu ruin it.

Pei Xu stopped in his tracks and asked, “What are the conditions?”

After that car accident three years ago, Pei Xu was in a coma for a week. When he woke up, he found out that Nian sustained a heavier injury than he did, and Nian was in a vegetative state with a small chance of ever waking up.

Pei Xu wanted to see Nian, but he was stopped by the Ning family and this woman in front of him, so he never got the chance to see him.

Xu Wei looked at him sinisterly, “Since we’re both racers, let’s use our rules. If you get first place in tonight’s race, I’ll let you see him once.”

“I’m not a racer, and we’re not friends.” Pei Xu laughed out loud. “Xu Wei, I don’t race anymore, so request for something else and show some sincerity.”

“Then kneel in front of me and beg me. I promise to give you a chance.” Xu Wei was smug and continued, “Pei Xu, you know that as long as I don’t agree, you’ll never get to see him.”

Pei Xu was tough and arrogant. Getting him to kneel and beg someone was worse than killing him, so he was left with the choice to race her.

“Fine.” Pei Xu smiled nonchalantly and nodded his head in agreement.

Xu Wei’s expression collapsed a little. When she saw Pei Xu was about to kneel in front of her, the hatred in her heart surged. ‘Damn it, I underestimated this bastard!’

Just before Pei Xu bent his knees to kneel, someone rushed over and clasped his arm.

When Xu Wei looked up, her gaze met the girl’s clear and pure eyes. Xu Wei looked at her with disdain. “Who are you?”

“I’m his apprentice. If you want to compete with him, you have to beat me first,” Shen Xi said as she pulled Pei Xu up. She looked at him and said, “Alpha Xu, a man shouldn’t kneel so easily.”

Shen Xi did not know what kind of grudge Pei Xu had with these people, but listening to their conversation, she made a rough guess that the person Pei Xu would rather kneel to meet must be someone he cared about a lot.

However, these people would only ridicule him for the rest of his life for bending his knees, and if word got out, Pei Xu would become a laughing stock in the Capital.

Besides, no one could just bully her friends and get away with it.

Pei Xu turned his head. The nonchalance and toughness on his face disappeared. He looked at Shen Xi angrily. “It’s none of your business. Go back.”

‘How am I her master? I don’t deserve her!’

Shen Xi lifted her eyes lazily and swept a glance at the group. “I’ll race you. If I get first place, you have to meet his wishes.”

“Kid.” Xu Wei laughed out loud in disdain as she looked at Shen Xi, who was still in her school uniform. “What grade are you in? A word of advice, don’t simply stand up for others.”

‘What a smug girl! Apprentice? Bullsh*t! Pei Xu quit racing after that accident because of trauma. He’s even afraid to sit in cars and go everywhere on a bike. This female apprentice is a fake and probably just wants to get Pei Xu’s attention by standing up for him to gain his trust. Right… After all, Pei Xu’s family is wealthy and he’s good-looking, so a lot of girls chase after him.’

“My name isn’t ‘kid’.” Shen Xi’s smile was not at all offensive and looked like an innocent and ignorant young girl. “My name is Shen Xi. You’d better remember my name.”

“Shen Xi.” Pei Xu pulled her back and did not want her to get involved. His tone was heavy as he tried to piss her off. “This is between me and her. You have no say in this!”

“Alpha Xu.” Shen Xi was not mad and only smiled as she said, “You said that there are no cowards in the International Class. We stick up for each other, so now I’m just helping my bro. Why are you interfering?”
