Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 606

Chapter 606: Vain Lil’ B*tch

Despite feeling delirious, Su Ruowan showed concern in his voice. “Bingbing, don’t go babbling about this. She’s still my sister no matter what.”

Ticked off, Chen Bingbing scoffed in disdain. “Wanwan, you might think of her as your sister, she’s no sister to you. If I have a say in it, I would post the news on the school forum so everyone knows that the vain lil’ b*tch is going out with a disabled old man for money.”

Su Ruowan said, “Could you keep it to yourself for my sake? Shen Xi is not that kind of person. Why would she be together with a disabled old man?”

She raised her voice at the end because she heard someone coming and saw that it was Li Jingran.

While coming by to pick Su Ruowan up, Li Jingran happened to catch the tail end of the conversation since Su Ruowan’s bedroom door was open. She was fuming, to say the least. Was Shen Xi, the brat trying to disgrace the Su family?

Not only was she a menace, but she now also had a sugar daddy and a handicap at that!

Acting as though she just realized Li Jingran’s presence, Su Ruowan quickly covered her phone and cautiously looked at her. “Mom, how long have you been here?”

“What’s going on with Shen Xi?” Li Jingran was already furious, to begin with. She had received the script for the first episode sent by Mr. Cloud Seven today.

Li Jingran was supposed to be happy as she was finally able to witness the genius screenwriter’s work. Nevertheless, she nearly blew up there and then when she read the script. The script contained nothing of the lines, rather a synopsis of her character.

It was written that Madam Ning Pei had cancer and all her hair fell off because of the treatment.

There were also clear notes at the end restricting the use of wigs. The actress was to lead by example and shave her head off, or else it was considered a breach of contract.

At this point, Li Jingran was about to pass out from rage. She came to talk to her daughter about the matter, but a bigger surprise was waiting for her. Li Jingran heard Su Ruowan on the phone talking about Shen Xi.

“Mom, did I say anything? Don’t get it the wrong way. Shen Xi didn’t do anything.” Su Ruowan was clearly suspicious by all the stuttering and evasion of questions.

“Didn’t you say she has a sugar daddy? And he’s disabled, right?” The mention of Shen Xi only made Li Jingran see red. She did not care if Shen Xi was a sugar baby, but Li Jingran had a problem when she brought shame to her and the Su family.

“Don’t be mad, Mom. Bingbing might have gotten the wrong person. Why would Shen Xi go for a cripple?” Su Ruowan drew near. It sounded like Su Ruowan was making excuses for Shen Xi.

“Don’t defend her. I’m not surprised if she’s dating a disabled old man with that character of hers. She’s probably willing to do anything for money.” Li Jingran gnashed her teeth in fury. “I bet the old man’s daughter is older than her. Why did I give birth to a menacing and shameless little b*tch!”

“Mom, don’t talk like that about my sister. We still don’t know the details,” Su Ruowan persuaded.

The b*tch could forget about ever returning to the Su family. If only she could just go and lay dead. Shen Xi should stay with the disabled old man till the end of time and be the object of abuse and ridicule.

It would be ideal if the old man was ugly and handicapped, even better if he had a wife and children so Su Ruowan could let the wife know about Shen Xi playing the other woman. The wife was bound to kick up a fuss, beat her to death, and scratch her face.

With that in mind, Su Ruowan grew elated. Anything bad that happened to Shen Xi was good news to her.

“What more proof do we need when Bingbing saw it herself? Do you need to wait until the wife and kids come to our front door looking for trouble to be sure?” Blowing her fuse, Li Jingran spun to walk away. “No, I have to tell your father.”

She could not care less if Shen Xi dropped dead out there, but on the condition that it did not tarnish the Su family’s good name. However, Shen Xi’s actions right now were threatening to compromise the Su family.

As a celebrity, Li Jingran could not afford any dirt on her. If anyone were to find out her daughter was a mistress, God knows what kind of tale the media was going to spin. Li Jingran would never see the end of it.

Watching as Li Jingran stormed out, Su Ruowan curled her lips in smugness. All her antics were sure to numb anyone out. With Mom’s negative impression of Shen Xi stuck in her mind, Su Ruowan wondered when Li Jingran would finally give up on Shen Xi.

Su Yi was home early today and working in his den. He had a scowl on his face, hot and bothered that the family business was met with issues one after another lately. The loans from the bank were held up too long and at this rate, the company might go under.

“Honey.” Li Jingran opened the door and uttered angrily, “Shen Xi must be sent by God to torture me.”

Su Yi was not in the mood. “What now?”

With the company in the red, Su Yi had been working his *ss off and had not had time to look for Shen Xi. Nevertheless, he was still hung up about bringing her home.

The flourishing Jin Yu would be theirs if Shen Xi were to return.

With that talent of hers, Shen Xi could style celebrities and bring home the bacon.

The financial shortfall that the company was facing would be filled.

“Wanwan’s classmate saw her with an old man. She has a sugar daddy.” Turning ashen, Li Jingran was seething with rage just thinking about it.

“What old man?” Su Yi asked.

Li Jingran stamped her foot. “What else? The old and disabled kind. He’s wheelchair-bound. I’m sure he’s married and has kids. Of all things, she had to be a mistress.”

The color drained from Su Yi’s complexion. Shen Xi was well-liked among the influential families. Other than the prominent Fu family, the young master of the Situ family, Situ Zhangyou, was not a bad candidate either. Su Yi had it all planned out to marry Shen Xi off into a wealthy family, at least to the standard of the Situ family. It would be of help to the Su family. Hearing Li Jingran’s words, he furiously slammed the table. “How could she? I need to see her right away.”

“Honey, would she listen to you?” Li Jingran added fuel to fire to strike a nerve in him. “We looked for her so many times before, but tell me one instance that she listened to us? You’re wasting your time going there. She won’t listen to you.”

Shen Xi was one horrible brat. Li Jingran and her husband had sought her many times, pleading and making nice, but to no avail.

“I might not be able to handle her, but I don’t believe the Shen couple are going to sit by and watch her be a mistress to an old handicap.” Su Yi got up to get dressed.

Looking at his receding figure, Li Jingran heaved relief. She was not bothered with whom the brat got together. Her only concern was her career in jeopardy in the event Shen Xi was exposed as a mistress and had a familial relationship with her..
