Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 251: The “Under-Crotch-Crawling” Humiliation

By the corner of her eye, Shen Xi scanned the pattern on the cloth and got an idea of who was behind this. Yet, she remained unfazed nor was she bothered to give Yu Qiubai a glance.

“It looks pretty, right!” Yu Qiubai dangled the black cloth in front of her. The suspicion he had was ascertained judging by her calm composure.

His guess was right. She recognized it.

He would not be skeptical if she at least showed a bit of reaction.

The composed look on her face made it all the more suspicious.

The pattern on the cloth was none other than the Li family’s emblem.

There was definitely no bad blood between Su Mushi and the Li family. It was not like Su Mushi could step on the Li family’s toes and even if he did, Su Mushi would not be alive until today.

Yu Qiubai could only come up with one reason for the Li family to tie Su Mushi up. It was for this girl here.

However, she remained tight-lipped and in denial. He was not in the position to make her talk.

Shen Xi had seen the pattern before, but it was only once when Brother handed her the centurion card. The card had the same pattern and she assumed it must be some sort of family emblem.

Yu Qiubai was aware that he should take his time. Now that he was sure that the girl knew, he should be able to find a way to find that person’s whereabouts.

He had been on the search for some time now, so he did not mind waiting a little longer.

Su Mushi had never been so humiliated. Since crawling under Pei Xu’s legs, he could feel every cell in his body screaming out in rage. His eyes were blaring red while the expression on his face was sinister.

He shall have his revenge. Keeping them as well as the pain he suffered in mind, Su Mushi would one day return the humiliation he suffered today in multiple folds.

“What a good boy.” From above, Pei Xu looked at Su Mushi who was on his knees. An arrogant and wild smile spread across his face. “Had you been a good boy sooner, you didn’t have to be brought here all tied up.”

“It was you, right!” Su Mushi viciously glared at him.

Su Mushi was knocked unconscious while he was on his way to get even with Shen Xi yesterday. It was unknown how long he was out but by the time he came to, he was already ditched at the school podium.

It could be either Pei Xu, the b*stard, or Shen Xi.

Shen Xi walked the red carpet yesterday and when he was knocked unconscious, she was still at the film festival. Hence, it was not her, making Pei Xu the only possibility. The vile brute always had his way and was more than capable to come up with every dirty trick under the sun.

“It wasn’t me.” Pei Xu suggestively turned to Yu Qiubai to stir the blame away. “Su Mushi, your best buddy was the first to discover you here.”

Taking in Pei Xu’s dismissal, Su Mushi tauntingly looked towards Yu Qiubai.

Pei Xu may be bad news, but he would never deny the things he had done or at least lie about it.

“Shi, don’t listen to his bullsh*t. I’m your bro. How could I possibly do such a thing to you?” Yu Qiubai slowly made his way over. He bent over and reached out an arm to help Su Mushi up. “He’s a b*stard and no truth ever comes out of that mouth. He’s trying to drive a wedge between us.”

Su Mushi pulled away from him. His eyes, like poisonous blades, were filled with resentment as he got up with much difficulty before pulling a punch at Yu Qiubai.

Yu Qiubai did not dodge and took the hit. The corner of his lips was cut and blood came dripping. Nevertheless, he nonchalantly wiped the blood away with his thumb and asked, “Shi, don’t you trust me?”
