Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 83 - Make A Fool Of Yourself

Chapter 83: Make A Fool Of Yourself

Shen Xi blurted, “It’s none of your business.”

These words struck Li Jingran like a thorn in the flesh, prompting her to hiss, “Shen Xi!”

Gong Zhi finally had her revenge after decades of bitterness and rage. Holding her head up high, she walked off the red carpet with a spring in her step and headed towards Shen Xi.

This young lady was awesome!

She really had to give it to Shen Xi. Jiang Yin could stuff it!

Gong Zhi wanted no one else but Shen Xi!

Before she could reach for her seat, Gong Zhi noticed Li Jingran leaning to one side as she engaged in conversation with Shen Xi. Putting on a straight face, she warily walked up to them. “Girl, are you acquainted with Ms. Li?”

Did Li Jingran, the old hag, find out and was now trying to poach Cai Ni away?

Li Jingran was not to have a finger in the pie Gong Zhi had her eye on!

With a poker face, Shen Xi calmly replied, “I don’t know her.”

Having her feathers ruffled, Li Jingran would have passed out due to rage had she not been in the presence of people.

This d*mn brat!

Was Shen Xi teaming up with Gong Zi to piss her off?

Gong Zhi let out a sigh of relief before taking a seat. She held Shen Xi’s arm as though claiming ownership. “Ms. Li, this is my little sister.”

Li Jingran was without another word after nodding and acknowledging the statement.

Sister?

Since when was Shen Xi, that brat, close to Gong Zhi?

Li Jingran was most familiar with the kind of person Gong Zhi was – a combination of a bad temper and horrible personality. She did not have many friends in reality, much less in show business.

It was the first screening of a movie.

Shen Xi and Gong Zhi had a blast watching the show.

Thinking of Shen Xi as a little girl, Gong Zhi instructed Chen Nan to send over some popcorn and bubble tea.

After the screening ended, Li Jingran’s manager requested that Shen Xi come along with him while she was on the way to the loo.

Fancying herself as an elder, Li Jingran gazed at her. “What’s your relationship with Situ Zhangyou?”

Li Jingran could not read Shen Xi at all.

Since leaving the Su family, Shen Xi displayed talent and ambition that was beyond even Li Jingran’s wildest dreams.

For the first time, Li Jingran questioned whether driving Shen Xi out of the family was the right decision. Shen Xi’s talents could be of service to the Su family.

“Ms. Li, this is a good look for you tonight.” Shen Xi gave an irrelevant answer to annoy Li Jingran.

Li Jingran’s blood was boiling from the reply. “Shen Xi, don’t play games with me. Stay away from Situ Zhangyou. Quit the wishful thinking and know your place.”

Shen Xi curled her lips in contempt.

Li Jingran pointed at her in warning. “I know what you’re up to. I’m sure you’re trying to seduce Situ Zhangyou. To tell you the truth, a family like the Situs will never take a liking to someone like you!”

What kind of family was the Situs?

Sure, the Situ family was not among the Five Major Families in China, but they surpassed the Gu family who were part of that prestige.

Wanwan was the future daughter-in-law of the Gu family. This fact was long determined and would not be changed.

It would be a slap in the face for Li Jingran if Shen Xi were to marry Situ Zhangyou and become the daughter-in-law of the Situ family.

She could never have Shen Xi, the brat, marrying off to better standing and be above Wanwan!

“How would you know if they don’t like me?” Shen Xi covered her mouth as sweet-sounding giggles escaped her lips.

Hearing the laughter, Li Jingran had the urge to strangle her. She spoke through clenched teeth. “It’s best you take this piece of advice. Otherwise, you would only be suffering and making a fool of yourself, snubbed by the Situ family.

How dare this uncultured brat speak to her like this!
