Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 23: Repulsive

Shen Xi’s fight with the bully shot her to fame.

The school gangster, Pei Xu publicly declared that he would pursue her. As a former nobody in Capital No. 4 High School, she had now become Public Enemy No. 1 among the girls!

When she arrived at school in the morning, she saw that both she and Pei Xu’s desks and the desks around them had been joined together. Twenty or thirty types of breakfast dishes were laid out on the desks, Chinese and Western cuisine included.

Lin Ge approached her with a smile. “Sister Xi, Alpha Xu prepared this for you. Enjoy.”

Shen Xi replied coldly, “Remove them.”

Lin Ge chuckled slyly. “Sister Xi, give some face, will ya? This is all Alpha Xu’s effort.”

“I’m not your sister.” Seeing as Lin Ge would not budge, Shen Xi walked towards her desk and cleaned it up. She tossed her bag on the desk and said, “Tell Pei Xu not to do such unnecessary things again.”

Lin Ge’s face darkened.

This ungrateful brat did not know what was good for her! Did she have to behave rudely in the face of kindness?

He wanted to see whether she would still be her usual arrogant self once Alpha Xu had succeeded in pursuing her.

When the time came, she might kneel before Alpha Xu and beg for his forgiveness.

The students in the international class cast judgemental stares at Shen Xi.

The boys were charmed by Shen Xi’s appearance. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a great beauty with that pretty face of hers. Alpha Xu was not the only one who wanted to win her heart.

On the other hand, the girls were jealous of her and constantly mocked her. To them, she was a little tramp who did not give face to Alpha Xu. She was just trying to act sophisticated and playing hard-to-get in order to push Alpha Xu away, when in fact, she was delighted as hell.

“Shen Xi!”

An angry voice appeared at the entrance to the classroom.

When the students realized that it was Su Mushi, they eyed Shen Xi cynically, waiting for her to be humiliated.

Shen Xi had caused Su Ruowan to break her leg, so Su Mushi would not let her off the hook that easily.

After all, it was common knowledge among the students that Su Mushi spoilt his younger sister.

Shen Xi glanced at him nonchalantly.

Su Mushi returned a vicious glare. “What did you do to Liu Yan?”

Instead of keeping her eyes on him, Shen Xi took a book and calmly opened it.

“Because of yesterday’s incident, you forced Liu Yan into expulsion!” Su Mushi was fuming with rage and gritted his teeth. “Are you happy now?”

Wanwan and Liu Yan were besties. Liu Yan’s expulsion caused the former to break down in tears, and it pained Su Mushi.

Shen Xi threw him a mocking glance and spat out two words. “Prove it.”

Liu Yan got expelled?

Who did that?

Pei Xu let her go yesterday and would probably not do anything else.

That meant…

The fleeting image of a lone man in a wheelchair formed in her mind, but she shrugged it off.

The big boss had better things to do than force someone’s expulsion on behalf of a little girl.

“You must have made Pei Xu do it!” Su Mushi was certain that she was the culprit. “If you’re smart enough, you’d better get Liu Yan back. Don’t make me hurt you.”

“Su Mushi.” Shen Xi looked at him with an intimidating smile. “Has anybody ever told you that your agitated expression looks repulsive?”

“Shen Xi!” A furious Su Mushi slammed his palm on the desk and growled.

Finally, he understood how his mother had gotten ill because of her.

Shen Xi was toying with a penknife in her hands, all the while exuding a threatening aura. Suddenly, she brought the penknife down towards his hand.

For one moment, Su Mushi’s heart stopped beating. He watched as the sharp blade shot towards the back of his hand at an alarming speed. Yet, he could not move and broke out in a cold sweat.
