Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 674

Chapter 674: Enjoy It to the Fullest
Sensing a gaze upon her, Su Ruowan turned her head to the source and noticed Hu Zheng nodding at her. She returned the nod before lowering her head to read the comments on her Weibo post.

Thank goodness many began to rally behind her because she forsook the Su family. At times, the netizens could be simple-minded. They believed Su Ruowan was one of them as the enemy of their enemy was their friend and hence, chose to support Su Ruowan against one common enemy.

She made the right move!

Screenwriter Cloud Seven would stand in her corner and support her. The only person Su Ruowan was counting on was Cloud Seven.

The sky gradually darkened. The weather this year was colder and snowing more than usual. The snowstorm had been going on for a few days now.

Having been waiting outside the Shen family’s house the whole day, the Su family was hungry and cold. By nightfall, they still could not see the person they were waiting for.

Su Muyan shivered in the freezing cold. For someone who grew up in luxury, he had never experienced such hardships. He turned to Su Yi and said, “Dad, let’s just climb over the wall. Isn’t Shen Xi’s house our house too?”

Su Yi could not stand the chill, let alone Li Jingran. Her health would decline at this rate. Su Yi glanced at the front door before nodding. “You boys climb the wall. There’s a ladder near the wall. Move that ladder here so your mom and I can get over the wall.

They had to try something since their bank accounts were frozen, leaving them without a penny to stay at a hotel. It was either dying in the freezing cold or getting inside the Shen family’s home.

Su Muyan took one look at Li Jingran in Su Mushi’s arms and then at Su Muxuan. “Muxuan, you and me – we’ll climb over the walls.”

No matter what, Shen Xi was their family. She could not just stand by and watch them die. Even if it was her intention, the Su family would not allow it to happen. They would tell the world that she was one of them, and the public would be critical of her refusal to help while they starved and froze to death.

After all, China was a traditional country that placed filial piety above all. It was the children’s duty to love and serve the parents.

Su Mushi watched them as they approached the wall to find a spot to climb over. He then gazed at Li Jingran in his arms. “Mom, we’ll be home in a bit. It’s going to be warm.”

Li Jingran was burning up, shifting in and out of consciousness. She would cry on Su Yi in moments of lucidness, but most of the time, she was screaming and cursing Yuan Heng, Yuan Yu, and Shen Xi like a lunatic while passed out.

Giving Li Jingran a look of disdain, Su Yi scoffed coldly. He stormed toward Su Muyan and Su Muxuan and urged them, “Hurry up.”

It had begun snowing again. Su Yi did not want to die in the cold before he got to Shen Xi.

Stepping on Su Muxuan’s shoulder, Su Muyan propped his hand on the wall and jumped over.

Su Yi smiled with delight as he waited for the ladder to be moved over. He must be the first to get in so he could keep warm and have a hearty meal.

The next minute, Su Muyan’s terrifying shrieks were heard coming from the yard. Something was then thrown out and crashed near their feet.

As the first to react, Su Muxuan widened his eyes in shock. That something that was wailing in pain on the floor was none other than Su Muyan who had just climbed over to the other side of the wall.

In the courtyard, Fang Chu quietly sat with Toffeecito lying on his lap. Rubbing its furry head against Fang Chu’s palms, Toffeecito meowed.

Fang Chu curled a bloodthirsty smile as he whipped out the phone to report the situation to Li Yuan. [Fang Chu: Boss, Ms. Shen’s a prophet. They came and I just tossed one out.]

Li Yuan gazed at the incoming text message and the opportunity Fang Chu did not miss to kiss his fair lady’s ass. Li Yuan lifted his chin and looked at the girl who came out of the shower. “The Su family’s breaking into your house by climbing the wall. Do you want to call the cops to arrest them?”

Shen Xi responded without hesitation. “No. We’d be making it easy for them if they were held at the police station. There’s heating and food there.”

Li Yuan replied, “I can make sure they don’t get heating and food.”

Shen Xi remarked, “Don’t bother. Let them freeze outside. Is it snowing now?”

Li Yuan asked Fang Chu before bobbing his head. “It just started snowing.”

Shen Xi grinned. “Great.”

The Su family probably had never experienced such a thing in their entire life. Surely, it never crossed their minds that this would happen to them, so they should enjoy it to the fullest.

That night was destined to be a sleepless night for many.

The angry berating and painful groans ensued at the Shen family’s doorway.

As Su Muxuan helped Su Muyan up, Su Muyan contorted his face from the sharp pain coming from his leg. He was certain that his leg was broken.

“What’s going on? Who’s inside?” Furious and not at all worried, Su Yi turned black in the face. However, his voice reflected desperation and affection when he shouted toward the yard. He was indeed an award-winning movie star. “Xixi, is that you? Are you home? It’s me, Dad.”

All was quiet in the courtyard, giving way to the howling wind that chilled them to the bone.

“Dad.” Su Muyan gasped for air in agony while resentment brewed in his eyes. Livid, he gritted his teeth. “It’s not Shen Xi. It was a man with a few bodyguards.”

He knew that Shen Xi was behind this even if she did not commit the act herself. Was the vile brat trying to resist them to the bitter end?

“Are you sent by Shen Xi?” Not completely convinced by Su Muyan’s comment, Su Yi ruthlessly threatened, “I’m Shen Xi’s father. We’re her family. This is her home, so that makes it our home too. Who are you to be in our home? I’m calling the cops to sue you for trespassing.”

Sitting in the courtyard, Fang Chu patted Toffeecito’s head and murmured as though he was talking to the cat and himself. “I’m so tempted to kill them.”

He had always known that Ms. Shen was the Su family’s biological daughter, but the said family mistreated and shunned her. Having lost all hope in the family, Ms. Shen cut ties with them.

The Su family kicked Ms. Shen out, refusing to acknowledge the latter as part of the family when they got on the gravy train. Now that the family was broke and had nowhere to go, Ms. Shen conveniently became their daughter again..
