Rebirth from the Ash Chapter 372 - Jarring

Chapter 372: Jarring

Fu Qingli gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words. “Not going.”

He then turned around with a cold face and walked away.

Everyone in his family was the sa.

Fu Qingli had always thought that his brothers treated Shen Xi differently because she must have fooled them to beco obsessed with her.

However, this ti he saw that the girl looked so standoffish yet she managed to capture the attention of his aunt and granduncle.

When Fu Junqiu saw him turn away, her eyes flashed with obvious joy. She urged the driver to hurry up and drive away to get rid of him.

Who knew that after taking two steps away, Fu Qingli turned around and ca back.

Fu Qingli was in front of them as he said in a cold voice, “Get off, I’ll take you there.”

Fu Junqiu was anxious and wanted to drive the cab herself. She looked at the driver. ‘What are you doing?! Drive!’

Fu Qingli was staring at the driver through the window with his cold eyes till the driver held his breath and his hands trembled. He did not dare to drive away.

Fu Junqiu glared at the driver angrily, then got out of the car and looked at Fu Qingli. “What do you want?!”

This was such a good opportunity for her to run away from her annoying nephew, but it slipped away just like that. Fu Junqiu wondered what sins she committed in her past life to be cursed with such a heartless nephew.

Fu Qingli ca closer and warned her. “Lil’ Aunt, I advise you to behave and don’t try to run away from .”

Fu Junqiu was infuriated. ‘Can I kill him already?!’

Fu Qingli drove them.

He was a real germaphobe. Whenever he was out, he never took public transportation. Everything he ate, wore, and used, must be new, so naturally, he would never take a cab.

Fu Junqiu and Shangguan Huan sat in the back and were talking about Shen Xi.

Shangguan Huan said, “Lil’ Qiu, if we can’t find her, you should find out where her family lives so that we can go to her and thank her.”

Fu Junqiu looked to the driver, “Fu Qingli, where does she live?”

Fu Qingli replied, “I don’t know.”

Fu Junqiu took the water bottle and smashed it on the back of his head. “What’s that stupid attitude for?! She’s Li Jingran’s daughter, not Li Jingran or her parents!”

She could read people well and knew at first glance that this girl was definitely different from Li Jingran’s family.

“What about you guys?” Fu Qingli’s eyes were cold and sullen. The corners of his lips hooked up with a hint of mockery. “Aren’t you guys going to find her because she looks like Mom? You’d better rember that her na is Shen Xi, not Fu Qingxi. She’s not my sister and she’s Li Jingran’s daughter!”

‘They’re simply crazy.’

Although Shen Xi saved his granduncle, they already thanked her. ‘Granduncle and Lil’ Aunt are just using that as a pretext to get close to Shen Xi.’

“It doesn’t matter who she is. She saved Uncle’s life!” Fu Junqiu was annoyed at her nephew’s attitude. “I wanna know why you’re so prejudiced against her. Is it really just because she’s Li Jingran’s daughter?”

Fu Qingli said, “That doesn’t matter. Anyway, she’s not soone you or I should befriend.”

“Li, you’re overreacting.” Fu Junqiu laughed out loud, then sighed and looked at him seriously. “You know what? I’ve never seen you care so much about soone.”

This nephew of hers had always been cold-hearted and did not bother to glance at anyone other than their family.

Perhaps he did not even notice the attention he was giving to that girl. Even if he was prejudiced against her or disliked her, his reaction was unusually big.

Fu Qingli suddenly felt irritable and could not suppress that feeling. He only denied it. “I do not.”

“Whatever. It’s useless even if you deceive yourself. Ask your heart. Do you hate her as much as you want to?” Fu Junqiu saw his body stiffen for a mont and sighed. “Li, follow your heart. You’re not a robot and no one asked you to hate her. There are no set rules in being human.”

Love and hate were part of life.

Fu Qingli clearly liked Shen Xi, but he lied to himself and forced himself to dislike her. It was truly miserable.

Gongcheng was a large KTV that occupied the entire building downtown. It was the largest and most luxurious KTV in the entire capital.

It was easy for Fu Junqiu to find soone, but she was afraid that being upfront would make Shen Xi dislike them. If they did not run into her, they would go back to Liuhe Garden for dinner.

Fu Qingli’s car just drove away when a black car ca in the opposite direction.

Shen Xi and Song Wenye got out of the car.

Song Wenye pointed at the car in front of them that had just left. “Xixi, I think the one driving is the eldest Fu brother. Did he co over to find you?”

Shen Xi rolled her eyes. “I think you’re bewitched. Everyone looks like him to you.”

‘Fu Qingli?! Is he crazy? Why would he look for ?’

Fu Qingli saw Shen Xi when she got out of the car. Perhaps like what his aunt said, he was just too concerned about her whether he liked it or not.

He glanced at the side mirror and saw the girl smiling brightly because of sothing another girl said to her. Her eyes were so bright and gorgeous, and the corners of the eyes squinted in delight.

Fu Qingli suddenly felt that her smile was a little jarring and made him feel more uncomfortable. It felt like his heart was filled with lead, which had him feeling heavy and suffocated.

‘Ha! Turns out she can smile! Here I thought she only knows how to fake one..’

The International Class booked a large luxury private room and ordered beers, drinks, skewers, fried chicken, fruit platters, and a variety of other food. They did not touch the food and were all waiting for Shen Xi, Song Wenye, and Lin Ge.

When Shen Xi and Song Wenye entered, the party officially began. They sang, played gas, drank, and were very lively.

It was the end of March, less than a hundred days before their exams, so this party was rare.

Ninety percent of the International Class was going to study abroad. They would go their separate ways all over the world, so it would not be so easy to get together in the future.

This group was extrely rowdy and forced Lin Ge to do a striptease.

Lin Ge did not shy away and jumped on the table. He took off his shirt to bare his chest, but his classmates dissed him for lacking a muscular physique. They even said that his body stung their eyes.

Shen Xi leaned back lazily on the sofa and watched as they fooled around when her phone rang. Yuan Yu called, so she took her phone out looking for a quiet place to answer his call.

When she walked down the corridor and was about to turn a corner, she heard a loud slap.
