Rebirth From The Ashes [COMPLETED]

Vol 55: Chapter 541 - 550

“Zip it!” Fu Qingli did not come all the way here to be bored to death. He was not interested in the slightest about what his brother did or who he met here.

Mom’s birthday was around the corner, yet Fu Qingxuan was screwing around out there. Using the car accident as an excuse, Fu Qingxuan ditched his responsibilities at the lab and even forgot about Mom’s birthday. Shen Xi seemed to take priority over everything else!

Chapter 542: Swing By the Set

Looking rather disappointed, Fu Qingxuan shushed it and turned his head away.

Fu Qingli looked out the window from the corner of his eyes as the feeling of annoyance overflooded his senses. Closing the lid of his laptop, he leaned against the car seat for a quick shut eye.

Fu Qingxuan sent Shen Xi a message. [Fu Qingxuan: Are you there yet?]

Shen Xi received the message when she had gotten off the plane and was getting into the rental car to go to the set. She gave a brief reply. [Shen Xi: Yes.]

[Fu Qingxuan: I’m going back home.]

[Shen Xi: Oh.]

Based on those single-word replies, Fu Qingxuan could imagine his leaving did not bother nor did it matter to Shen Xi. With his heart sinking to the pit of his stomach, he tightened his grip over the phone. He was tempted to ask if there was anything else she would like to add.

Then came a double text message from Shen Xi. [Shen Xi: Take care, stay safe.]

The cloudiness overshadowing Fu Qingxuan’s grimacing face quickly cleared up. Curling his lips in delight, he was easy to please. He read the single line of message over and over again.

Meanie still cared for him.

Sure, Meanie had a sharp tongue, but her heart was in the right place.

Fu Qingli peered over to find Fu Qingxuan smiling like an idiot at his phone. He observed with disdain and caught a glimpse of the name “Meanie” flickering on Fu Qingxuan’s mobile screen.

He knew this was the nickname Qingxuan gave Shen Xi. Qingxuan called her a meanie and knew that she was one, so why could he not just stay away?

This was the case with Qingye, and himself as well.

Fu Qingli could lie to the world, but who was he trying to fool? He did not come all this way to bring Qingxuan home.

Fu Qingxuan headed home.

Shen Xi and Yun Jinping were on their way to swing by the set.

Yun Jinping had informed Yu Yuanxi’s manager, He Xiang, of their arrival beforehand.

He Xiang had been waiting for them at the nearest intersection to the set. He was holding a banner in his hands written, “Welcome fellow Lil’ Yu’er to the set”.

“Lil Yu’er” was Yu Yuanxi’s fandom name.

He Xiang printed a huge banner for easy spotting in case the ladies missed him. Once an assistant to the former big-shot manager, Chen Nan, He Xiang had seen it all. However, this was the first time he entertained fans as Yu Yuanxi’s manager.

For Yu Yuanxi’s first film, the production funds were limited and all spent on the shoot, leaving little to no room for publicity.

Since the filming began, there was only a series of photographs from the opening ceremony, together with a brief introduction and the actors’ names that could be found online. No further information was released thereafter.
