Rebirth From The Ashes Chapter 350 - Secretly Dating

Chapter 350: Secretly Dating

When Shen Xi and Yun Jinping returned from the supermarket, they saw Shen Zhangqing sitting at the door with a large knife in hand. His face was red with anger.

Shen Xi ran over nervously. “Dad, what’s wrong with you? Did someone rob us?”

Shen Zhangqing was furious and cursed. “That sc.u.mbag Su Yi came again! I’ve warned him to stay away so many times and told him that if he dares to come, I’ll chop him up!”

Shen Xi laughed out loud and walked over to help him up. “So you chased him away?”

Old Shen waved the knife in his hand and looked at his daughter proudly, waiting for her praise. “That sc.u.mbag even brought his son over, so I chased both of them away!”

“Dad, you’re awesome!” Shen Xi complimented him and took away his knife, then gave him the shopping bags.

Shen Zhangqing took the shopping bags from her, then ran to meet Yun Jinping to take over her grocery bags. He weighed them and looked distressed. “Why did you buy so many things? They’re so heavy! Why didn’t you call me so that I could pick you guys up?”

“How are they heavy?” Yun Jinping tugged it. “Pa.s.s me a small one.”

“Nope.” Shen Zhangqing brought them and went into the house.

Yun Jinping laughed helplessly and chased after him, then asked him why Su Yi came over with his son. Xixi would not go back to the Su family anyway.

“What else is he here for? I’m sure he wants to bring Xixi back,” Shen Zhangqing snorted. “The next time he comes, I’ll definitely call the police!”

Shen Xi smiled mockingly and thought, ‘What else can it be for? They must’ve wanted me to talk to the International Cla.s.s students about the debt.’

After Su Yi and Su Mus.h.i.+ were chased out of the Shen family home, they were frustrated and thought of waiting nearby for Shen Xi to come home.

However, a car approached them suddenly and hurled them inside. They were beaten up and then thrown to the outskirts of the city.

They both walked for two hours before they managed to see someone to help them make a call. They took a cab and headed to the hospital to tend to their injuries before anything else.

“Dad, who attacked us?” Su Mus.h.i.+ was terrified and did not know who they had offended.

“How should I know?” Su Yi roared. His eyes were bloodshot and he was so angry that he was about to explode.

They were just squatting in the Shen family’s neighborhood and were somehow taken away. After a violent beating, those thugs said that they got the wrong person?

“Dad, so what do we do now?” Su Mus.h.i.+’s eyes were dark and gloomy. When he thought he was beaten up because he went looking for Shen Xi, he felt like killing her.

“Shen Xi’s adoptive father doesn’t know what’s good for him. She’s my daughter! Mine!” Su Yi gritted his teeth at the mention of Shen Zhangqing. “If he hadn’t interfered, Xixi would’ve come home with me. They’re so selfish and want to keep Xixi for themselves since she can earn so much money now! Back when she was not capable of anything, they were willing to give her to us.”

“Yeah, when Shen Xi was with us, she was so obedient and did everything she was told to do without any complaints,” Su Mus.h.i.+ was fanning the flames. “She was taught to have such a bad att.i.tude by the Shen family after she returned to them.”

‘Doesn’t Shen Xi care a lot about her d.a.m.ned adoptive parents? Then I’ll have them dead and once they’re dead, she has no one to rely on and will have to eventually return to the Su family. Then I can treat her however I please.’

Su Yi’s eyes were ruthless. ‘Right, Xixi must’ve been brainwashed by that couple. That’s why she hates our family. As long as the Shen couple is dead, everything will be smooth sailing. They crossed me first, so don’t blame me for being ruthless and unkind to them!’

Shen Xi exercised more caution lately since Shen Zhangqing asked about their next-door neighbor the other time. She would not stand too blatantly on the wall and was careful as if she did not want to be caught by her parents for dating in secret.

This feeling was sweet, apprehensive, and tormenting.

“Dad, Toffeecito’s missing. I’m going out to look for him!” Shen Xi grabbed her fried chicken and ran out while eating it.

Shen Zhangqing looked outside and saw her shouting for Toffeecito as she ran to the wall again. He asked Yun Jinping, “Honey, have you seen the neighbor in the past two days?”

Yun Jinping shook her head. “No, but I’ll pay attention next time. I’ve asked our other neighbors, but no one’s seen him before.”

This person was just too mysterious that no one saw him before.

Shen Zhangqing grunted. “I don’t believe it. He’s not a G.o.d, so he certainly can’t come and go without leaving a trace. I’m sure we’ll catch him one day.”

Yun Jinping nodded and reminded him. “Don’t control Xixi too much. She’s in her rebellious stage. If you ask too many questions, you’ll hurt her self-esteem.”

Shen Zhangqing nodded and looked outside again. He heard his daughter shouting for Toffeecito and was not talking to anyone, so his mind was at ease and thought that the neighbor was probably not at home.

Shen Xi was sneaking around like a thief. She looked at the man and said in a low voice, “Brother, my father is getting suspicious and thinks that we’re dating, so you should be more careful. He wants to catch you!”

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, then asked her back, “Are we dating?”

When Shen Xi heard the word “dating” coming out of his mouth, it shook her heart and her face turned red. She shook her head in denial. “No.”

Li Yuan felt a pang of disappointment, but when he heard the girl’s tense voice, he felt much better. “Mm.”

‘Wait a little longer. She’s not an adult yet, so there’s no hurry.’

Shen Xi’s heart was racing when she heard Shen Zhangqing calling her for dinner, so she coughed and said, “I’m going to eat. Quick, give me Toffeecito!”

Toffeecito jumped out of Li Yuan’s arms and climbed into the basket with its short legs and sat upright.

Shen Xi picked it up and held it in his arms. “Brother, I’ll get going. Be careful for the next few days! Don’t let my dad catch you!”

Li Yuan looked at the girl’s scurrying back and felt his heart pounding. He vaguely had a sense of excitement like they were secretly dating behind his father-in-law and mother-in-law’s back.

Kun Lun stood not far away. After he hung up the phone, he walked up to Li Yuan and reported in a whisper of a situation before he asked in a low voice, “Should we take action on the Su family?”

Su Yi was getting more vicious and even dared to hire a hitman.

If they had known sooner, they would have dumped that filthy father and son on the outskirts of the city this afternoon so that there would be less trouble.
