Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 432
Chapter 432: Curse Parents and Brothers to Death
“Don’t forget Xixi,” Song Wenye said as she dragged Shen Xi to the front.
Shen Xi stood before Su Ruowan and Su Mushi. Carrying an aloof presence to her and chill in her eyes, she took a fleeting glance at them before curling her lips into a delightful smile. It made her appear detached to the core.
Biting her lips, the teary-eyed Su Ruowan was first to apologize. “Sorry.”
Shen Xi commented, “Feeling wronged?”
Su Ruowan pictured thousands of ways to kill Shen Xi and Song Wenye in her mind before shaking her head. “No.”
Shen Xi noncommittally turned to Su Mushi.
Su Mushi could apologize to Song Wenye, even when he never participated in discrediting Song Wenye. However, he would rather die than apologize to Shen Xi. He huffed dramatically while hiding murderous intent deep in his eyes.
“Su Mushi,” Wei Qiu cried.
He had heard about the Su family’s affairs. Shen Xi was a distant relative of theirs who stayed at their residence for a year and left the family during the second term last year.
Wei Qiu could sense something was not right by the intense atmosphere between Shen Xi and Su Mushi.
Shen Xi may remain aloof while facing Su Mushi, but her presence commanded the room just by standing there.
Unable to keep up with his front, Su Mushi let his bitterness show as he looked at Shen Xi like his enemy.
“Sorry,” Su Mushi begrudgingly hissed after being pressed by Wei Qiu. The utter fury and humiliation saw him clenching his fists tightly.
“You didn’t give it to me tough enough.” Fixating on him, Shen Xi suddenly broke into a grin. “Let me give you some advice. Next time, you should curse my parents and brothers to death!”
Su Mushi was overtaken with rage as his head buzzed and darkness engulfed him. His bloodshot eyes seemed to be burning in flames.
What a wicked brat!
Was she cursing their whole family to die?
Shen Xi then pulled the ever belligerent Song Wenye along with her and bade the principal farewell before making a grand exit by turning her aloof and impassive back at them.
Wei Qiu was confused by the situation. What was going on? Parents and brothers?
It dawned onto Wei Qiu after much thought. Rumors were going around the school that Shen Xi and Li Jingran shared an uncanny resemblance.
It appeared that they did not just share a resemblance, but blood too!
The post in the school forum about the Su sibling’s self-staged drama left the students of No. 4 High School buzzing and adding their take and spin to the gossip.
Su Ruowan made up a story to drag Song Wenye through mud and also incited the students to pick on the latter while trying to boost her own reputation and popularity at school. Well, Su Ruowan’s plan blew up in her face.
Not only did her plan fall through, but Shen Xi also returned the favor by exposing her other accounts. Shen Xi found evidence of Su Ruowan’s deceit and dirt on Su Mushi while at it.
Su Ruowan shot herself in the foot. Karma was a b*tch.
Poor Su Mushi. It had nothing to do with him, but Su Ruowan managed to drag him into the mess too. It was everyone’s guesswork that Su Mushi must be outraged.
Sure, Su Mushi was furious. However, he was more ticked off by Shen Xi than Su Ruowan.
It was all that brat’s fault. Shen Xi was a tumor and the death of the Su family. He and the Su family would never live in peace as long as she was still around.
Su Ruowan was rather calm. After returning to her class, she kept to herself and quietly took her seat as per usual.
Nevertheless, only she knew of the apprehension, fear, unsettledness, and resentment bubbling inside.
She was afraid the Su family would find out what she did at school. She feared facing Li Jingran’s disappointment. What if Su Yi were to toss her out of the family?
Su Ruowan hated Shen Xi. It was all Shen Xi’s fault. Su Ruowan would not be in this position had it not been for her.
Song Wenye was too much of an idiot to come up with this. She must be instigated by that b*tch, Shen Xi.
Su Ruowan did not want to waste her time dealing with Shen Xi since she always ended up on the losing end.
Her priority now should be staying away from Shen Xi and getting the Su family to completely cut ties with Shen Xi.
The Su siblings had a lot on their minds, but one thing was for sure, they wanted Shen Xi out and were willing to go to lengths to deal with her.
The much-thought-about Shen Xi was presently going through mock test papers. With her mission accomplished, she was in a great mood.
From the get-go, Shen Xi had no intentions to send Su Mushi and Su Ruowan on the path of no return all at once.
This was the outcome Shen Xi was looking for – not to the point of beating the Su siblings to the ground, but enough damage to upset and dampen their spirits.
Following a phone call, Pei Xu paused for a long while before letting out a sigh of relief. He then turned to Shen Xi and muttered in a low but relaxed tone as though a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. “He’s awake.”
There were a lot of people in the international class.
However, only Shen Xi knew what he was talking about. She rejoiced in his relief. “Congrats.”
Pei Xu went through quite an ordeal over the years, living under extreme pressure that he killed his buddy. The boy could relax at last.
“Thank you.” Pei Xu understood that these words were insufficient to express his gratitude, yet there was nothing more befitting.
The number of times he had thanked her drew a blank in his mind.
“I’ll go with you to visit him.” Shen Xi could empathize.
“Sure.” Pei Xu did not decline.
News of Ning Sinian regaining consciousness reached the ears of many socialites in the Ning family’s circle within a day. They were shocked to learn that Ning Sinian was treated by a mysterious expert from a reclusive family.
People talked, and soon word on the street caught the capital’s upper society spreading tall stories.
It was last rumored that the expert could bring the dead back to life and produce magic elixirs to become gods.
By nightfall, the news reached the Su family.
Li Jingran’s mother suffered a brain stroke two years ago. Although her life was saved, her mother became paralyzed and confined to her bed. She could only move her eyes and two fingers.
Having heard of Ning Sinian’s recovery, Li Jingran rushed home to verify the news’ authenticity with Su Yi.
