Rebirth from the Ashes-Chapter 670 - The Great Daughter the Family Raised

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Chan was going to pretend she saw nothing. Li Jingran and Su Yi’s sins were finally brought to light. Su Ruowan, as their daughter, should be held accountable too.

However, Lin Chan overheard something she should not have this morning. Su Ruowan called Ms. Cai Ni her sister and begged her to save their mutual parents. This confirmed Lin Chan’s suspicion to be true.

Ms. Cai Ni was Li Jingran and Su Yi’s daughter. If that were the case, Lin Chan found it amusing that instead of a gifted, beautiful, highly capable lady, some senseless idiots would rather recognize Su Ruowan as their daughter.

Furrowing his brows, Hu Zheng rang Su Ruowan up. This time, the call was answered by a weak voice that said she was on her way.

Hu Zheng told her to hurry over before hanging up.

Su Ruowan gazed at the terminated call as she got up from the cold floor. Anger and resentment crept to every inch of her body and the thought of Shen Xi’s taunting face only fueled her impulse to rip Shen Xi apart.

She awakened to find herself next to the trash can. The nerve of the godd*mn lapdog named Kun Lun did this to her. Su Ruowan was not going to let the matter slide.

Half an hour later, Su Ruowan had just arrived on the set when Hu Zheng called her aside to the break room and handed the phone to her. “A call from Screenwriter Cloud Seven for you.”

Every muscle in Su Ruowan’s body was tense as fear and worry took over her mind. Trying to get a grip of herself, she took the call. “Mr. Cloud Seven, I am Su Ruowan.”

On the other end of the line, a clear young man’s voice was heard. “Ms. Su, I’m Cloud Seven. I have something to tell you. Many fans have sent me a petition for you to leave the set or else they’ll boycott all my TV series.”

Su Ruowan turned ashen in the face and her voice was trembling. “Mr. Cloud Seven, surely the children shouldn’t bear the crimes of the parents. I know my parents are at fault, but I love my role.”

“The netizens said that the same blood runs in the Su family. You have Li Jingran and Su Yi’s blood running through your veins, so you’re no different than them. They mentioned that, like them, you had it in you to plagiarize.” Shen Xi was on the call while resting on Li Yuan lap.

“No, I don’t, Mr. Cloud Seven. About the plagiarism, Su Muyan said he wanted to give me a hand.” Su Ruowan knew that this was her last chance to hold onto. Otherwise, that was it for her.

“Su Muyan made you plagiarize?” Shen Xi’s tone carried elements of shock, but her face bore a contemptuous grin.

Look at the great daughter the Su family raised. They were going to love the way Su Ruowan was repaying them for bringing her up – betrayal. It was the best kind of thanks they could get. Did the Su family not tend to do the same?

“I… I… I shouldn’t have brought it up. I’m sorry, Mr. Cloud Seven. Just pretend you didn’t hear that.” Su Ruowan sounded anxious amid whimpers.

“You’d need to set yourself apart from the Su family, Li Jingran, and Su Yi, so I can explain to the fans. However, I’d have no choice but to replace you if you can’t prove anything.” Sitting up, Shen Xi adopted a grave and solemn tone.

The Su family would probably go through the roof the moment they saw Su Ruowan’s true colors. Shen Xi recorded the phone call and planned to send the recording to Su Yi and Li Jingran the day she was to blow her cover.

“Mr. Cloud Seven, I’m, in fact, not Li Jingran and Su Yi’s birth daughter.” Su Ruowan went for it. She was ready to burn bridges and cut ties with the Su family.

All problems should be solved so long as the Su family’s blood did not run through her veins. She was different from the Su family. She was not the daughter of the Su family!

“You best clear the air,” Shen Xi said.

“Will you still replace me if I clarify that fact?” Su Ruowan believed she had nothing to lose, but she needed a definite answer.

Shen Xi paused before uttering, “If it is as you say it is, I will defend the rights of my actors. If I cared what everyone else thinks, I wouldn’t have insisted on hiring you as the supporting actress.”

What was in Su Ruowan’s head? Of course, Shen Xi was going to replace her. Su Ruowan was amusingly naïve to live in her delusional dream.

Silence befell Su Ruowan for a moment until she finally made up her mind. “Screenwriter Cloud Seven, I won’t let you down.”

The Su family was useless to her now since they could not provide any help. She was only boarding a sinking ship if she hung on to them. Su Ruowan did not want to be a failure and the laughing stock. She wanted to make it by every means necessary.

Shen Xi ended the call.

With a frown, Li Yuan looked at the girl. “What does she plan to do?”

Shen Xi smiled cunningly as she weighed the phone in her hand. “What else? She’s about to clarify her relationship with the Su family, saying she’s not the daughter of the Su family and doesn’t share the Su family’s tainted blood.”

Li Yuan burst into laughter. “Is she brain-dead?”

Shen Xi hugged him amid chuckles. “She never had a brain. It’s all a dog fight now. Besides, she has no other way out and she’s not ready to go down with the Su family.”

Li Yuan gently caressed her face. “The Su family’s still giving you a hard time. Do you want me to go ahead and take care of it?”

Shaking her head, Shen Xi responded with a smile, “They might be giving me hell, but I’m not part of their family.”

She could flash her status as the young lady of the Fu family if Su Yi were to drag her into the mess. The look on his face was bound to be intriguing.

Shen Xi intended to finish him off at first so that Su Yi would have no chance to emotionally and publicly blackmail her in the name of blood ties. Nevertheless, there was no need for that now since she had a trump card.

The trump card was enough to send the devastated Su Yi and Li Jingran right back to hell.

“Sure.” Li Yuan tenderly curled his lips before catching a glimpse of the text message sent by Fang Chu. The court enforcers and police had entered Su’s residence to seize their assets.

The video gave a view of the Su family in their full glory. Su Yi, especially, went hysterical like a rabid dog.

Li Yuan picked up the phone and gave it to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi tapped on the video for a quick look before tossing the phone with a smile. She remarked, “They’re doomed for destruction for the unjust they’ve done.”

The funny thing was Li Jingran and Su Yi failed to do any soul-searching and were still playing the victim to this day. They got what was coming for them.

“That reminds me. I have a little something here.. Do you want to post it together or keep it for later?” Li Yuan tapped on a file in his phone and showed it to her.
