Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 755 - Poor Soul

After getting a positive response from Lu Li, Song Wenye became bold and approached Lu Li. “Ms. Li, let’s exchange WeChat contacts so we can stay in touch.” Lu Li took out her phone to add her number before politely excusing herself. She got into the car.

Fu Qingli was to drive them home. Su Jingyan, who was supposed to come to the amusement park with them, left at the first chance he got so they took his car.

Shen Xi and the lot watched the car disappear out of sight before getting ready to make a move themselves.

Song Wenye and Yu Yuanxi met at the airport and took a cab here.

Shen Xi and Li Yuan came by car.

During their trip home, Li Yuan took the wheel. Yu Yuanxi sat on the front passenger’s seat while the girls were kicking in the back.

Song Wenye expressed her thoughts. “Ms. Lu seems to be indifferent, but I think she’s easy to get along with. She’s pretty too.”

Shen Xi grinned. “Ms. Lu is very nice. I wonder if Big Brother will ever win her heart.”

“I think you don’t have to worry about that. Your brother seems to care about her.” It had crossed Song Wenye’s mind in the past about the kind of woman that could tie Fu Qingli down.

Now it appeared that Ms. Lu was that person. Song Wenye was sure of it.

Shen Xi did not comment. If Fu Qingli was interested, he should go for it. However, Fu Qingli’s personality was worrying.

“Guoguo and Lil’ Zhen are so cute. They’re so cute!” Song Wenye excitedly tugged Shen Xi’s arm. “Kids are so much fun! When are you and Toffeecito’s Dad going to have children?”

Behind the wheel, Li Yuan turned his attention to the conversation in the back. He was about to speak.

Shen Xi reached out to tap Li Yuan’s seat. Clearing her throat, she glanced at Song Wenye. “Why don’t you and my brother have kids sooner?”

Sure, she got her marriage license, but she was not ready to have kids. Children would happen when it happened.

Song Wenye stuck her tongue out and smiled. “We’re not married.”

Giving a suggestive smile, Shen Xi drew close. “Hurry up and get married then.” “I’m an idol. My girl group is on the rise right now. It’d only reflect badly on them if I were to get married. Do you want the group’s popularity to drop and lose all ability to make money?” Song Wenye looked at Shen Xi with raised eyebrows. “Chairman Shen?”

She found out recently that Shen Xi invested in Cosmos Entertainment. As the biggest shareholder, Shen Xi would not want to see the girl group hurt.

For the sake of Shen Xi, Song Wenye stored the thoughts of making her relationship public. It could wait until the group was in a stable condition.

“I’m fine with that. You and my brother can do whatever you want. Don’t worry about me.” Shen Xi read her mind.

She was not short of money. Even if the girl group’s popularity hit rock bottom because of Lil’ Ye’s announcement to the world, Shen Xi would not bat an eyelash.

“You’re not my only concern. I have Yangyang and the rest to think about too.” Song Wenye’s smile turned broader at the thought of her besties. “I won’t go public that soon even if it was for them. Think about the thrill of a secret romance and dating in secret!” She and Yu Yuanxi had talked it out. They would not make their relationship public in the next two years, albeit they would not hide that they were taken from the fans and audience at home. By then, it would not stir much of an uproar or impact the group when they come out about their relationship.

Yun Jinping and Shen Zhangqing were still up, waiting for Shen Xi and the rest to get home.

As they were walking through the door, Yun Jinping went up to them but did not see Fu Qingli. Before asking if they had eaten, she inquired, “Where’s your big brother?”

Shen Xi gave a straight answer. “He drove Ms. Lu and the kids home.”

Yun Jinping was concerned about Fu Qingli. “How is your big brother getting along with Ms. Lu?”

Qingli was too detached for his own good, and Ms. Lu was not one to take the initiative. At the end of the day, Qingli had to make the move.

It was great if the two ended up together. However, no one should push it if that were to fail. As the older generation, they hoped the pair could be together. It was good for the kids and themselves.

“They seem fine.” Taking Yun Jinping’s arm, Shen Xi walked with her into the house.

Song Wenye drew near and swung by the other side of Yun Jinping. Song Wenye listened as Shen Xi talked about Fu Qingli and Lu Li, adding details that were not mentioned.

Shen Zhangqing came out and chased after Yun Jinping with a coat. He did not want her to catch a cold in the cold weather.

Shen Xi grabbed the coat and draped it over Yun Jinping while still going on about what happened at the amusement park. She picked the important events and gave a rough account.

After storytime.

Yun Jinping lamented, “Ms. Lu is a poor soul. A girl like her needs attention and affection the most.”

She learned about Lu Li. The latter was sent to live in the village by the Lu family and was only accepted back into the family not too long ago. The elders in the family were making her walk down the aisle.

Jiang Yin had gathered quite a bit of information. During Lu Li’s return, the elders hid the children away and threatened her to get married or she would never see the kids again.

Later, Lu Li somehow convinced the Lu family to give up on marrying her off. The reason remained unknown. In short, Lu Li had it rough in life.

If Yun Jinping could find out, Qingli would know too with a bit of digging.

“Mom, it’s not our place to comment on certain things. You can talk to him like an elder.” Shen Xi spoke her mind.

“That’s what your mom said too. She’ll be here in two days.” Yun Jinping had an exchange with the Fu parents about Fu Qingli going to the amusement park with Lu Li and the kids.

“She had only just left.” It was not that Shen Xi did not want her to come. She was worried the flight might wear Shangguan Yanqiu out. It was a ten-odd-hour flight each time and she was not in the best of health.

“She’s worried about you. And misses you.” Yun Jinping glanced at Shen Xi with a smile before turning to the two in the back. “I bet you’re hungry. The food is heated in the kitchen.”

Every one of them said they were coming back, but none actually did.

“I’m hungry.” Rubbing her belly, Song Wenye pulled Yu Yuanxi to the kitchen. “Let’s bring out the food.”

In fact, she was not at all hungry as she filled her tummy at the amusement park. Nevertheless, she could not disappoint Mr. and Mrs. Shen’s kindness. Plus, Song Wenye enjoyed Mrs. Shen’s home-cooked food.

Shen Xi dragged Li Yuan along to help out.

Yun Jinping and Shen Zhangqing were arranging the table and chairs when the door outside was pushed open.
