Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 192: Hold It Right There

“How much?” Since Shen Xi’s eyes were glued to the mansion, she replied in a nonchalant manner, albeit her eyes did reflect melancholy and heartache.

The house was colossal. Was Li Yuan lonely living there by himself? Was he afraid at night?

She heard from Yu Qiubai that the Li family died in the house. It was upsetting for Li Yuan to be reminded of the past with his every return.

The thought of him alone at night in this huge mansion, looking at everything familiar and reminiscing the past only to wake up alone again, tugged at her heartstrings.

“A trillion. Li Mansion is the best preserved early architecture. A pillar in the place is valued at 1.8 billion. One bed is estimated to be 10 billion.” Wei Feng was impressed. “If only I had a chance to go in and look around.”

Shen Xi grinned. “I’ll take you along with me if I ever go in there.”

Wei Feng took it seriously. “Chairman Shen, are you for real? You have to bring me along for a real eye-opening experience.”

Shen Xi nodded. “Absolutely.”

It was quiet outside the Li Mansion and the stillness accentuated the rustling of a breeze from inside.

Cupping her chin, Shen Xi was lost in her thoughts as the old architecture became further and further out of sight. “Could Brother Li Yuan be in that building right now?”

Wei Feng glanced at her through the rear-view mirror. Lil Chairman Shen was fixated on the mansion. Had she taken a fancy to Li Mansion?

He should inform Chairman Yuan on the matter and advise him to make more money, so that hopefully one day…

Sigh. What was he thinking? No amount of money could buy Li Mansion!

Shen Xi got out of the car.

Wei Feng followed behind her bearing a gift in his hands.

It was the old master of Situ Family’s 70th birthday today. God knows what the old man was thinking to arrange for a business talk with Chairman Shen on this day.

Cars had taken up all the parking spaces in front of the door. With luxury sedans worth at least ten million plain in sight, no one would be so dense to drive anything less than that to enter. It was practically a mini roadshow for luxury sedans. As expected from a prominent family, the invited guests were no ordinary figures.

Shen Xi ran into Su Ruowan, together with her fiancé, Gu Xiaohan, while walking out of the parking lot. Although Shen Xi pretended to not see her, Su Ruowan was not having it!

Gu Xiaohan and Su Ruowan noticed Shen Xi at the same time.

Putting on a gentle fa?ade, Su Ruowan greeted her with a smile. “Shen Xi, are you here to celebrate Grandpa Situ’s birthday?”

Shen Xi was such a little b*tch. Why was she everywhere?

Every time they met, Su Ruowan would always rile up and try to tear Shen Xi apart.

Gu Xiaohan pulled a malicious long face. The d*mn brat. She came knocking on his door before he went looking for her.

Shen Xi had better be prepared after what she did to him. Gu Xiaohan would have killed her if Grandpa did not send him abroad to study since that incident.

Without looking at her, Shen Xi walked by indifferently.

Feeling upset and hurt, Su Ruowan stood still and bit her lips.

Gu Xiaohan was enraged and chased after Shen Xi. “Brat, hold it right there!”

Su Ruowan held him back. Her eyes lost their glow and her voice in dismay. “Han, don’t. It’s my fault that my sister is angry with me. Don’t make things hard for her.”

Fuming with anger still, Gu Xiaohan pointed at Shen Xi. “Wanwan, look at her. You take her as your sister, but does she deserve it?”

Godd*mnit! Look at her putting on airs! She sure had the nerve to dismiss him.
