Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 345: Divine Assistance

Pei Xu led a group of his friends and waited in the Su Corporation’s lounge from noon until 5:00 pm when Su Yi finally returned.

Su Yi looked at the room full of people and asked with a smile, “Pei Xu, why are you guys here to see me?”

Pei Xu was polite and put the relevant documents on the table. “Uncle Su, we’re here to ask you for money. You should take a look at these first.”

Su Yi was puzzled about what money and when did he owe them anything. After reading the document, he was so livid he could pass out. “I only just found out about this. Let me clarify it before I give you an answer.”

‘Private gambling! Who the hell gave them the courage to set up a private gambling site, and lost so much money in one go?! It was more than three billion yuan! Where am I gonna get that kinda money now?!’

Pei Xu smiled and was quick to agree. He urged him. “Sure. Uncle Su, you can ask about it. We’ll just wait here until we get the money.”

“You guys should leave first. I know you’re all friends of Xixi, so you should respect her.” Su Yi looked at them and reasoned, “I’m Xixi’s father, so you should respect me too!”

These kids were not ordinary children. Although Pei Xu was the Pei family’s illegitimate son, everyone knew it and had to admit that he was part of the Pei family.

The other kids were all rich second generations of wealthy families in the Capital. Su Yi was not afraid of offending one or two of them, but not 30 or 40 of them!

Pei Xu laughed mockingly. ‘D*mn, this old fart is really shameless! When something happens, then he’ll think of Xixi as his daughter…’

When the rest of the International Class heard Su Yi’s words, they glanced at each other, confused. ‘What does he mean by that? Shen Xi is Su Yi’s daughter?’

However, Pei Xu did not say anything, so even if they were curious, they kept quiet and waited for their boss to say something.

Pei Xu looked at Su Yi. “Uncle Su, when are you going to give us an answer? We’re waiting to spend this money. Lil’ Zhou has his eye on a sports car and contacted the seller. He even paid the deposit. He’s waiting for the money you owe us to pick up the car!”

Su Yi’s heart was on fire and felt like he was about to explode. However, as an elder, it was not good to lose his composure in front of the younger generation. Facing the aggressive Pei Xu, he could only say, “Rest assured, Uncle will give you a satisfactory explanation. How about tomorrow?”

“Sure, tomorrow morning, before 8:00 am. If I don’t get an answer, we’ll come back to you.” Pei Xu flashed a bad boy smirk. “If you don’t show up, I won’t say anything, but I can’t guarantee that my bros won’t. Uncle Su, you’re a smart man, so I don’t think I need to say much.”

Shen Xi really understood Su Yi. If they were ordinary people, Su Yi would not be afraid.

However, they were not ordinary kids. Their families were rich, powerful, and well-connected, so Su Yi would not dare to offend them.

Su Yi was so angry that blood rushed up to his head. He felt a trace of bitterness in his throat as he tried to suppress his wrath. “Okay.”

‘This stinking brat dares threaten me?!’

However, Su Yi was afraid of this threat. Their society was all about connections and interpersonal relationships. He was not afraid of ordinary people, but these little brats were the elites in China.

If they were to exaggerate the story and ruin the Su family’s reputation, no one would want to talk business with him anymore.

Pei Xu bit into his lollipop and led his friends outside.

When they got outside, the group quickly surrounded Pei Xu.

“F*ck! Alpha Xu, is Sister Xi really Su Yi’s daughter?”

“Holy sh*t! I’m dead… I just glared at Su Yi, so will Sister Xi kill me?”

“Lies! I don’t believe it! Sister Xi is so valiant and bullish. She’s a heroine, so how can she be Su Yi’s daughter? I don’t believe it!”

The group cursed while some consoled themselves. They were in doubt and thought that it was absolutely impossible. They must have heard wrong! The Su family was not worthy of Shen Xi!

Since they found out, Pei Xu did not hide it from them. Once they were in a secluded place, Pei Xu told them the truth. When he was done, he warned them. “Before Xixi announces this herself, no one is allowed to say a word about it! If any of you spread this, I’ll cut your tongue.”

Pei Xu had the same reaction as them too. He did not believe it, but that was a fact because Xixi and Li Jingran did look quite similar.

“F*ck, poor Sister Xi. I’ll kill that old fart!”

“Alpha Xu, I’ve decided to take not a penny less. I’ll go all out and demand a hundred times the betting odds. I’m not gonna f*cking compromise for that jerk!”

“Me too! Even if he calls the police or our involvement in online gambling is exposed, I don’t give a damn! How dare he bully Sister Xi!”

“The Su family is horrible! They don’t wanna accept their biological daughter and only spoils that impostor, Su Ruowan!”

Initially, the International Class did not want to make a big deal out of this. After all, their society was all about connections, so it was not good to make a fuss. They only followed Pei Xu just to get more money.

This time, when they heard about Shen Xi’s time at the Su family, they changed their mind and made it their business to make a big deal out of it. Even if it involved the police, they would not let the Su family get away with how they treated their classmate. They wanted the Su family to know that the International Class was not one to mess with.

The Su family was blind for not wanting Shen Xi but they were different, they would support Shen Xi no matter the consequences and fight for her.

When they got their money back, they would give it all to Shen Xi since this was what the Su family owed her.

Pei Xu did not expect Su Yi to expose his own true identity would bring so much resentment from his classmates. He wanted to clap for Su Yi to thank him for his divine assistance in this matter. He had intended to take a step back and let the Su family go because he did not want to bring trouble to his brothers.

However, even if he did take a step back now, these guys would not agree. They wanted to go all out and would fight the Su family to the end.

Su Yi did not know that he had shot himself in the foot. He took the documents and went back to the office. He then called Su Muyan. “Come back home, immediately!”

‘Useless son!’

Su Yi trusted Su Muyan and wanted to train him, so he gave his son the website, but look what happened! His good son lost so much money and still hid it from him.

When they got home, Su Yi would beat this good-for-nothing to death.

Su Muyan answered the phone and was stunned for a moment. His eyes flickered. Finally, he made up his mind and looked at the driver. “Go back to my house.”

Since his father was looking for him, Su Muyan would be honest about it. Although he was the one who ordered the staff to set up this bet, Third Brother was the one who suggested it. He was caught up in the moment and made a mistake.
