Rebirth: Different Way - Chapter 26

    Accidentally met Fang Luowei, Shen Xi was really happy, and that night she chased old K to check Fang Luowei’s loan sharks.

    Old K was squeezed by Shen Xi into a habit, resigned to his fate, took the little information provided by Shen Xi, and rummaged through the vast crowd of people in Zhongjing to find the news of these people.

    In a few days, the news about Fang Luowei reached Shen Xi intermittently. Fang Luowei did not come to Zhongjing alone as Shen Xi thought, but with his grandfather and grandmother, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and was being treated in the hospital at this time. What made Shen Xi even more unexpected was that Fang Luowei turned out to be a signed singer of a not-so-famous record company in Zhongjing. The strange thing was that he was frozen by the company before his debut.

    These news are all unknown to Shen Xi in the previous life. When he met Fang Luowei, Fang Luowei was already in prison. When the two became acquainted, it was half a year after Fang Luowei was imprisoned. thing. At that time, although Fang Luowei mentioned his past to Shen Xi, he only said that his relatives were all dead and alone.

     Holding the information in her hand, Shen Xi fell into contemplation. It was only half a year before Fang Luowei was imprisoned in his previous life. According to Old K’s investigation, although Fang Luowei’s grandmother was confused, her health was not bad, not to mention that his grandfather’s body was quite tough. So what happened? In just half a year, Fang Luowei lost his only two relatives?

    As for Fang Luowei’s grandmother’s illness, Shen Xi felt that this seemed to be the reason why Fang Luowei was willing to borrow usury loans. Unfortunately, the population of Zhongjing is tens of millions. I couldn’t find out who was the person who gave Fang Luowei a loan shark?

    Shen Xi faintly felt that what he didn’t know was the key to Fang Luowei’s imprisonment. If he wanted to change Fang Luowei’s fate, he could only start from here.

    These few days, Shen Xi has been holding old K to inquire about Fang Luowei’s past, while taking the time to connect with Fang Luowei, but unfortunately the time is too short, Fang Luowei is too busy, Shen Xi It was only a cheeky meeting with Fang Luowei.

    On the one hand, Shen Xi tried her best to get close to Fang Luowei, on the other hand, Fang Luowei had a feeling for Shen Xi’s unusual enthusiasm. Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn’t feel the slightest malice in Shen Xi, but he was more and more confused about Shen Xi’s attitude.

    Because of her grandmother’s hospitalization, Fang Luowei has been busy doing odd jobs to make money, and has no intention to pay attention to the recent reports about the Shen family in the newspapers. It was not until he met Shen Xi that day that Fang Luowei knew that this Shen Xi was the Shen Xi mentioned in the newspaper, so he deliberately found a few recent newspapers to read.

    The information about Shen Xi in the newspaper is very detailed, the third son of the Shen family in Zhongjing, and one of the orthodox heirs of the Shen family. In addition to Shen Xi’s life experience, various reports also deliberately revealed all kinds of misdeeds of Shen Xi in the past. Although the reporters have not caught Shen Xi’s bad deeds after returning from abroad, everyone unanimously speculated that Shen Xi was deliberately restrained because of Shen’s father’s serious illness, and they even speculated about when Shen Sanshao’s old ways began to emerge.

    Fang Luowei did not fully believe the reports in the newspaper. Although he had not known Shen Xi for a long time, he was also suspicious of Shen Xi’s inexplicable enthusiasm, but he felt that Shen Xi It’s not the kind of dude who makes trouble, as the reports say. What’s more, it is the fault of the father that the son does not teach the father, even if Shen Xi is true as the report says, it is also the fault of Shen’s father. Otherwise, Shen Xi was still underage five years ago, why did she frequently drink and drive without seeing Father Shen come forward to discipline her? Thinking of the complicated situation of the Shen family mentioned in the report, half-parents, illegitimate children seizing power or something, Fang Luowei felt a little more sympathy for Shen Xi.

    Under this state of mind, when Shen Xi called to meet again, Fang Luowei told Shen Xi the address of her grandmother’s hospitalization, and said apologetically that she could not get out of the house. Shen Xi obviously didn’t care about it. Although he knew about it in the old K’s information, he still pretended to be the first to hear it, and carefully wrote down the address Fang Luowei said.

    An hour later, Shen Xi appeared outside the ward with a large bag and a small bag.

    Across the glass window, Shen Xi didn’t see Fang Luowei in the ward, only two white-haired old people, Shen Xi recognized Fang Luowei’s Grandfather and grandmother.

    The relationship between the two old people is obviously very good. Shen Xi watched Fang Luowei’s grandfather carefully help her to lie down, and carefully tucked her into the corner. With a faint smile on her face, her grandmother looked intently at her grandfather, and there was a strong warmth flowing between the two of them.

    Shen Xi’s heart softened, and her eyes unconsciously brought out envy.

    “Why don’t you go in?” Fang Luowei, who returned from taking the medicine, looked at Shen Xi who was standing at the door in surprise.

    Shen Xi smiled and answered irrelevantly, “Your grandfather and grandmother have such a good relationship.”

    Fang Luowei laughed, “They have supported each other for a lifetime, and each has penetrated into each other’s lives. You know? Remember Grandpa alone.”

    Shen Xi raised her eyebrows, “Are you jealous?”

    Fang Luowei nodded generously, “Yes, I used to be my grandmother’s little treasure, but now in my grandmother’s eyes, I am a big bad guy who robbed her grandfather.”

    Shen Xi was amused by Fang Luowei, and she was pulled into the ward by Fang Luowei.

    Fang Luowei’s grandfather liked Shen Xi very much, and after a few words, Shen Xi and Fang Luowei called his grandfather together.

    The words “Grandpa” made Shen Xi’s expression dazed for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, Shen Xi called the old man’s kind smile softly, “Grandpa” .”

    “Hey!” The old man agreed loudly, and Shen Xi’s eyes became wet uncontrollably. He smiled and turned to his grandmother, trying to hide the gaffe on his face.

    Fang Luowei pretended not to see Shen Xi’s abnormality, pulled Shen Xi to stand beside her grandmother, pointed to Shen Xi and said to her, “Shen Xi, this is Shen Xi.”

    Grandma didn’t speak, just kept smiling at Shen Xi, Shen Xi took a step forward and squatted in front of grandma, “Grandma.”

    Grandma’s soft eyes fell on Shen Xi’s face, and she stretched out a dry hand to touch Shen Xi’s head, “Xiaowei, grandma will buy you candy.”

    Shen Xi’s face burst into a huge smile, nodded, behind him, Fang Luowei was dumbfounded.

    In the afternoon of this day, Shen Xi felt the long-lost family warmth in Fang Luowei. That kind of tenderness finally relaxed Shen Xi’s tense heart since she was reborn. For the first time, he didn’t think about anything, but simply regarded himself as the grandson of the two old people, talking with them, walking with them, and recalling Fang Luowei’s childhood with them.

    When grandfather talked about Fang Luowei’s embarrassment when he was a child, Fang Luowei would helplessly hold his forehead. In Shen Xi’s laughter, grandma said every time, “Xiaowei is good , grandma bought you candy.”

    After a lively afternoon, my grandmother could not bear the fatigue of her body and fell into a deep sleep. My grandfather sat quietly beside my grandmother and helped her carefully comb the white hair on her head. .

    Shen Xi looked at this scene with a gentle expression, turned and left lightly.

    “What, are you leaving?” Fang Luowei asked.

    Shen Xi nodded, “There is something at home.”

    Fang Luowei sent Shen Xi to the stairs, “Be careful on the road.”

    Shen Xi looked at Fang Luowei with a smile and agreed.

     Turning around and leaving the hospital, the gentleness on Shen Xi’s face quickly changed to indifference. She took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and Shen Xi opened the text message from Chu Qianqian not long ago, with only a few words, “I will go to Shen’s house tonight.”

    Shen Xi raised her eyebrows, not expecting Chu Qianqian to act so fast. After pondering for a while, Shen Xi decided to go home, and he wanted to see Shen Ji’s reaction with his own eyes.

    This time is the evening rush hour in Zhongjing, Shen Xi stopped a car and reported the address, then habitually closed her eyes and began to rest. His sleep is very poor, and he has been plagued by nightmares from his previous life to the present. Shen Xi sometimes wondered why he had been reborn, but was still trapped in the **** night of his last life.

    For several years abroad, Shen Xi has been insisting on seeing a psychiatrist, just to get a good sleep. After returning to China, he was upset because of things, and he didn’t want to be found by reporters to report indiscriminately, so this matter was delayed.

    Shen Xi suddenly thought of the two days when she had a fever. There were no nightmares. The warm and reassuring feeling in the dream made him sleep until dawn. Although Shen Xi didn’t say anything, she knew in her heart that it wasn’t an illusion that he felt the embrace in his sleep. In those days, there were only him and Li Mingxuan in the room, and it was self-evident who was in that embrace.

    Shen Xi frowned, an absurd thought came to mind. The next moment, Shen Xi’s mouth flashed a hint of self-deprecation, and the thought was thrown into the back of his mind.

    After a long hour and a half, Shen Xi stood at the door of Shen’s house. To his surprise, Li Mingxuan was also there.

    Li Mingxuan was also very surprised by the appearance of Shen Xi, and subconsciously froze for a moment. He was originally looking for Shen Ji for something, but after thinking about not coming to Shen’s house for a long time, he stayed for a gathering, but he didn’t expect to meet Shen Xi.

    This was the first time they met after Shen Xi left that day. The strangeness on Li Mingxuan’s face was only for a moment, and soon returned to normal. He restrainedly nodded at Shen Xi, and quickly looked away.

    It was not only Li Mingxuan who was surprised by Shen Xi’s arrival, but also several other people in the house.

    “Why are you back?” Shen Cheng asked first.

    Shen Xi sneered, “Isn’t this my home?”

    Shen Cheng choked and wanted to say something, but closed his mouth under Shen Ji’s cold eyes.

    Shen Ji did not speak to Shen Xi, just nodded at Shen Xi, and then looked at the news in his hand. Because Shen Cheng was robbed by Shen Xi, he sat there with a worried expression and refused to speak. Li Mingxuan restrained himself from looking at Shen Xi, and kept his eyes on the teacup beside him. If they didn’t say anything, Shen Xi naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to speak, and the living room fell into silence until Father Shen’s voice sounded outside the door.

    “Xiao Chu, it’s your first time here, don’t be polite and take this place as your home.”

    Shen Ji’s expression changed immediately after hearing this, and he looked at the door in disbelief. Shen Xi’s eyes fell on Shen Ji’s face, and there was a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth. Looking at Shen Ji’s reaction, it was obvious that his father made a temporary decision. He hadn’t mentioned the matter to his family beforehand. He just didn’t know what means Chu Qianqian used. It was a huge “surprise”.

    Accompanying Father Shen’s words, the door was slowly pushed open, and Father Shen walked in, carefully protecting Chu Qianqian in his arms. Chu Qianqian looked very embarrassed, her knee-length dress was torn several times, and the exposed calf was bruised. At this time, her eyes were red and swollen, as if she did not expect to see so many people, she instinctively shrank towards Father Shen’s arms.

    Shen Xi clearly saw that Father Shen’s face was full of pity.

    Unfortunately, Shen Ji was not as sympathetic as Father Shen, and stepped forward to stop Father Shen.

    Father Shen lowered his face in displeasure, “A Ji.”

    Shen Ji refused to step back, just looked at Chu Qianqian coldly.

    Father Shen felt that his face was a bit unbearable, so he raised his voice, “A Ji.”

    Shen Ji didn’t speak, just stood there and confronted Shen’s father. Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Cheng immediately leaned up and said, “Brother, I’ll talk about it later, my cousin is still here.”

    Shen Ji gave Shen Cheng a fierce look, Shen Cheng touched his nose and stepped back and dared not speak. To be honest, Shen Cheng can’t understand the big brother’s thoughts a little, isn’t it just a little love, why should the big brother care so much. Anyway, there is already one Zhou Mingmei, so what if there is another one? Even if Chu Qianqian had the ability to give birth to a son, she was just an illegitimate child like Shen Rong who couldn’t make it to the top, so why bother with her father because of this.

    Shen Ji still refused to speak, silently confronted Shen’s father, and silently expressed his attitude.

    Li Mingxuan glanced at the confrontation scene in the living room with a wry smile, because he was not suitable to participate in it.

    Chu Qianqian in the field pulled Shen’s father’s sleeve and tried her best to squeeze a smile on her face, “Mr. Shen, thank you today, I suddenly remembered that there is something at home, I will first Let’s go.” After saying this, Chu Qianqian was about to turn around, but Shen Jiji said directly, “Go away!”

    This accident obviously shocked everyone. Father Shen looked at his hand hesitantly, unable to believe that he had hit his most beloved son.

    Shen Xi raised her eyebrows, this scene is really getting more and more interesting.

    Li Mingxuan sighed silently, he really didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of his uncle’s house, but the situation in front of him couldn’t allow him not to appear. After a few steps, he walked to Shen Ji’s side. At this time, due to a slap in the face from Shen’s father, the people in the living room obviously did not respond.

    Li Mingxuan pulled Shen Ji aside and said to Shen’s father, “Uncle, A Ji is just a quick talker, it’s not intentional to offend the guests.”

    This sentence made Father Shen find a step and said in a deep voice, “Whether it is intentional or not, it is always wrong for Ah Ji to be rude to the guests, this time it’s okay.”

    After saying this, Father Shen looked at Shen Ji with a guilty conscience, Shen Ji gave Shen Father a deep look, turned his head and went back to the room without saying a word.

    Shen Cheng winked at Li Mingxuan and followed Shen Ji carefully. Li Mingxuan stayed by Father Shen’s side with a wry smile, and accompanied Father Shen to change the subject.

    What happened after that, Shen Xi didn’t care, he left Shen’s house satisfied after Shen Ji returned to the room. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. The gap between Shen Ji and his father had already grown, and what he had to do was to further expand the gap. Thinking of her next plan, Shen Xi smiled slightly.

    At this time, the night has not completely enveloped the entire earth, and the red sunset like remnants of blood is still hanging in the sky and does not want to fall.

    Shen Xi looked at the sunset from a distance and closed her eyes comfortably, the breeze blew, and someone stood beside him.

    I opened my eyes and met Li Mingxuan’s gaze, “I’m hungry, I still owe you a meal.”

    Li Mingxuan didn’t know how he walked in front of Shen Xi, and blurted out this sentence. He originally planned to leave, and tried his best to leave, but looking at Shen Xi’s lonely figure in the twilight, he couldn’t move his footsteps.

    Shen Xi did not speak, but looked at Li Mingxuan inquiringly, her black eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and she could not see the emotions inside.

    Li Mingxuan looked into Shen Xi’s eyes and felt that he seemed to be one step closer to the cliff.
