Rebirth from the Ashes

579-580

Despite his young age, the young man was quite a stunner. His face alone could attract many fans if he were to enter showbiz.

Xuan Yuan only got a word in before Li Yuan tasked him with taking orders for the food. Dinner was going to be delivered from Li Mansion. After a phone call to Li Mansion, Xuan Yuan plucked up the courage and shamelessly went up to start a conversation.

Struck by a thought, Shen Xi jolted up from the sofa. “Brother, I need to step outside.”

Li Yuan said, “Dinner will be ready in a bit.”

Shen Xi replied, “My watermelon peel is still on the wall.”

Li Yuan looked at Xuan Yuan.

“I’ll retrieve it, Ms. Shen.” Xuan Yuan immediately jumped in.

“Hold on.” Li Yuan called him back.

Xuan Yuan turned around.

Li Yuan commanded, “Don’t forget the spoon.”

Xuan Yuan was in tears. “…”

Shen Xi happily took her seat and chewed on an apple. She waved at Xuan Yuan and blurted with a smile, “Thanks!”

Li Yuan dotingly shook his head at the girl who was always chomping away. Never mind because who was he to stop her when she was eating delightfully?

Half an hour later.

The food was delivered.

Shen Xi’s order of mushroom and stewed chicken was specially packed in a disposable food container so she could snap photos. Her heart was full, knowing well that Li Yuan put in the instructions to do so. She took a picture and sent it to Yun Jinping.

The photo of the food put Yun Jinping at ease. She sent a voice note to Shen Xi, telling her to enjoy her meal and that she would be home the next day for a two-day break.

The next day, Yun Jinping and Shen Zhangqing arrived home one after the other at nightfall. With Shen Zhanglin, his wife, and Shen Tang also visiting, it was lively at the house at last.

Lights out.

Shen Zhangqing held Yun Jinping and asked worriedly, “Honey, is something on your mind?”

Her mind had been running ever since the call from Fu Qingli. Still, Yun Jinping had not collected her thoughts on how to come clean with her husband. She turned to look him in the eye. “Honey, does Xixi look like the Su family?”

Shen Xi made a face and snorted. “No. My daughter looks like me!”

Yun Jinping nudged him. “I’m asking a serious question here. What are you saying?”

Shen Zhangqing put on a somber face. “Xixi looks like Li Jingran, but in terms of character, Xixi’s not like them at all. Why are you asking this?”

The Su family was real b*stards. How could his daughter be like them? They were nothing alike. To hell with them!

Yun Jinping shook her head. “Nothing. I’ve been thinking recently if Xixi picked up her personality from her parents or acquired it through life.”

“Human nature is the reflection of their environment. I believe we raised Xixi to be who she is today. She has nothing to do with the Su family nor does she take after them in any way.” Shen Zhangqing was fuming at the mention of the Su family. He refused to link his daughter with the Su family.

“Okay,” Yun Jinping responded. She stayed true to her words since she promised Fu Qingli to keep mum. Although she would think about it, Yun Jinping was not going to inform Shen Zhangqing of a groundless suspicion.
