Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 127: One Was B*tchier Than The Next

Su Mushi’s face could not be darker as he set his heart on killing Pei Xu. The latter struck a nerve with him by playing “The Smiling Nation” repeatedly.

Shen Xi gave Pei Xu the thumbs up, with the action nearly cracking her up.

Raising his eyebrows at her, Pei Xu let out a smug grin.

Shen Xi was on cloud nine on this day. The Su family’s misery was her greatest happiness.

Between Yu Qiubai and Pei Xu, one was b*tchier than the next in getting up the Su siblings’ nose, Su Mushi’s in particular.

The after school bell rang before the last round of debate in the afternoon could begin.

Shen Xi was conflicted and hesitated for a moment before making up her mind. She whipped out her phone to send the big boss a message.

‘Brother, we have another round of debate so I’ll be home late. Don’t wait up.’

After much thought, she felt that the first text to him should be short and concise. Hence, she deleted the text and typed a new message.

‘Brother, the teacher’s dragging out on the lecture, I’

“What are you doing?” Out of nowhere, Pei Xu enquired from behind and patted her.

Following a tremble in her hand, Shen Xi sent the message out. She gave the culprit the evil eye. “Pei Xu!”

Grinning from ear to ear, Pei Xu reached out to grab her phone. “Why the secrecy? Let me take a look.”

Shen Xi picked up a book and hurled it at him while hissing, “Get lost!”

Feeling snubbed, Pei Xu looked over when her phone vibrated to find the usually cold and aloof girl holding the phone and curling her lips at some message. The sweet smile was an eyesore.

Shen Xi noticed the text message notification on her phone.

‘Brother: Got it. Safety first.’

She held the phone and read the text message he sent again and again. Afraid that others might notice, Shen Xi buried her head and smiled like an idiot.

Yu Qiubai took a glance at Pei Xu before throwing him a question. “Her boyfriend?”

With his eyes expressing coldness, Pei Xu spoke through clenched teeth, “Get lost!”

He then turned and left.

Unamused, Yu Qiubai shook his head and chuckled to himself. He barely got a word in before a certain somebody blew up.

By the time Shen Xi reached home, it was seven o’clock at night.

Getting off the bus, she bolted home but stopped short of the entrance and gazed at the beautiful woman at the door. “Excuse me, who are you here for?”

Jiang Yin observed the beautiful girl in front of her and happily nodded before wickedly curling her lips. “What? Can’t recognize your teacher?”

Feeling numb on the scalp, Shen Xi politely bowed and looked at her. “I’m sorry, Ms. Jiang. It was a desperate time that called for an act of expediency. I hope you’re able to look past me falsely using your name.”

Yuan Yu had told her to leave all apprehensions at the door as he had her back and would cover for her.

Yet why was Ms. Jiang Yin here?

“What? Are you going to deny it after using me?” Smiling ever brighter, Jiang Yin abruptly drew close and poked her head. “Think again. For you to use my name, you’ve become my student even if you’re actually not!”

Shen Xi, “…”

Jiang Yin gave her a side glance. “What? Cat got your tongue because you’re too happy and excited?”

Shen Xi cleared her throat. “Ms. Jiang, I think you should reconsider this carefully. I’m unsuited to be your student.”

Ignoring her, Jiang Yin bore gifts and walked towards the house. Jiang Yin even glared at Shen Xi for not keeping up. “What are you standing there for? Come on, keep up.”
