Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 691: The Fu Family Had Gone Bonkers

Ms. Lady-of-many-faces, Shen Xi, helplessly waited until Song Wenye turned off the waterworks before asking, “I recall that you have a New Year countdown event to record today. Can you go on with the show if you keep on crying?”

Shen Xi had never heard Song Wenye’s wails, and the latter was even too choked up to talk. Shen Xi was touched that Song Wenye was crying for her sake.

“I’ll stop crying. We’re performing the finale, so it’s going to be a few hours before we hit the stage. My eyes won’t be swollen by then.” Song Wenye wiped away her tears amid sobs. With her mind harking back to her earlier actions, Song Wenye cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment. “I got to go. I’ll fly straight home to find you after my shoot. I don’t think you’re going to the Fu residence just yet, right?”

“No. I’m at home.” Shen Xi added. “Are you coming back with my brother?”

Snuffling, Song Wenye felt better after letting it all out through tears. “I’m heading back alone. I’m not bothered to ask your brother.”

Shen Xi believed Yu Yuanxi would come home. Who would not after all that happened? Old Shen probably had not seen the news since he was unconcerned about the entertainment world. Otherwise, her phone would be exploded by his calls by now.

She had not had the chance to hang up when there was a knock on the door.

Yan Xiaoxiao warily ran to the door and asked, “Who are you?”

“I’m Shen Xi’s brother.” This was the reply heard from the other side.

Yan Xiaoxiao could tell that it was not Qingye. Still, the voice was easy on the ear. Yan Xiaoxiao took a glance at Shen Xi to check with her.

Able to tell who it was, Shen Xi nodded for Yan Xiaoxiao to open the door. Standing there was Yuan Yu.

Yuan Yu might not be a heartthrob in comparison to Fu Qingye, but his looks could beat celebrities in showbiz, let alone ordinary people.

Jiang Xuanxuan and Yan Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. It was yet another hottie. They took a guess that he was probably, maybe, likely Qingye’s brother, Fu Qingli. Sure, he was not as good-looking as Qingye, but it did not change the fact that he was a dreamboat too.

“Brother, let’s go to my room.” Shen Xi gazed at him and smiled.

Yuan Yu nodded his head. Although Shen Xi told him that she was not the daughter of the Su family, Yuan Yu never imagined in his wildest dreams that she was related to the Fu family. It came as quite a surprise.

He knew that Shen Xi was returning to school today. Yuan Yu was driving by her school when he came across Fu Qingli’s post. Hence, he dropped by. He could not get through to her phone as her line had been engaged. Besides, it was better to speak face-to-face than through the phone.

Stepping into her room, Shen Xi closed the door and gestured for Yuan Yu to sit.

Yuan Yu gave her an earnest look. “Congrats.”

It was great that she was not the Su family’s daughter. Yuan Yu was disgusted that he had Su Yi’s blood running through his veins, but it was good news that she was not part of the Su family.

“I found out the day I had a call with you.” Not one to hide information from him, Shen Xi put on a serious look. “I wanted to wait until we’re gathered to let you all know. I didn’t think Fu Qingli went ahead with this.”

Yuan Yu grinned. “Isn’t this for the best?”

Su Yi counted his chickens before they hatched. God knows what was going through his mind right now. However, Shen Xi and Yuan Yu were feeling the thrill for justice had been served.

“No. My phone’s been ringing off the hook,” Shen Xi whined.

Yuan Yu replied, “That’s not a bad thing.”

He was no stranger to the fact that the Fu family had been in search of their daughter as the whole world knew that Fu Qingye went into showbiz to find his sister.

Yuan Yu was delighted that Shen Xi was reunited with her real family while not feeling that bothered how she suddenly became the Fu family’s daughter, albeit Shen Xi did a maternity test with Li Jingran. Technically, she should have blood ties with Li Jingran.

The Fu brothers’ Weibo posts pushed the whole fiasco to a whole new level. Those ready to roll up their sleeves and crusade against Shen Xi put down their keyboards and fired their ammo at the shameless and unscrupulous Su Yi who dug his own grave.

Su Yi was thrown off the loop by Fu Qingli’s statement. It took a while before he kicked the coffee table away. With bloodshot eyes, he mumbled to himself, “No way, no way. How could it be?”

Shen Xi was supposed to be his daughter. What did she have to do with the Fu family? What was the Fu family getting at? Why did they lie and defend Shen Xi?

With the Fu family standing up for Shen Xi, the mindless keyboard warriors would choose to trust the Fu family instead of him. What was he to do now?

Su Muyan was scared witless. Reading the post repeatedly in disbelief, he zoomed in on the DNA result for a closer look. Still, the truth could not register in his mind. It must be a fake. Surely, it was forged.

Shen Xi was his sister, and he had a DNA test result to prove it. There was no mistaking it. The Fu family made excuses and stuck up for Shen Xi because they had gone bonkers, being under the spell by the wicked brat.

“Dad, it’s a fake.” Refusing to believe the facts before his eyes, Su Muyan shook his head in denial.

What was going to happen to their family if it were true? What was he supposed to do? Who was going to clear the Su family’s debut, aid to rebuild the family’s empire, and provide for his lifestyle?

Grabbing his phone, Su Yi published excessive posts to call out Shen Xi and the Fu family in cahoots for deceiving the public and falsifying evidence. He wanted the public to open their eyes to see the truth and Shen Xi’s true colors.

However, his posts went unanswered. There were a few who gave him the time of day but only to fling abuse back at him to get lost. Su Yi’s efforts to tag Weibo’s official handle were futile as he got his account blocked instead for being a pester.

Su Muyan sank into the depths of the abyss. Prior to this, he was still dreaming about the Su family making a comeback through Shen Xi. Feeling the fear, Shen Xi would definitely give them a hand. Yet now, all hope came to a screeching halt. Su Muyan asked in a fluster, “Dad, what are we going to do now? They won’t believe us. What’s the brat up to? Why is the Fu family helping her?”

“We’ll stop her at her house. She has to go home at some point.” This was the only way Su Yi could think of. He had to get to Shen Xi one way or another.

How could she possibly be the missing daughter of the Fu family? Su Yi was certain that they fabricated the evidence since it was easy for the Fu family to falsify the DNA test report.

Su Yi was unable to figure out why the Fu family would have Shen Xi’s back. Did one of the young masters of the Fu family take a fancy to Shen Xi? Was marriage in mind? Now that Su Yi thought about it, this was likely the reason.

He was not going to let Shen Xi shake the Su family off.. Even at the cost of death, the Su family would make sure Shen Xi perished with them!
