Same Ideas

Gu Xiaohan watched as the car left, then he threw a fit of anger and roared as he pointed at the car, "Shen Xi, Yuan Yu, just you wait!"

Naturally, Shen Xi ignored the beastly cries behind them. She cocked her head and looked at the man beside her. "Big Brother, do you want revenge?"

The charming man next to her was her half-brother, who shared the same father with her but a different mother. He was the son of the poor ex-wife who was betrayed and neglected by Su Yi; who had her husband stolen by Li Jingran; who got depression in the end and committed suicide by jumping off a building!

Shen Xi knew that he was back to seek his revenge from the Su family.

Yuan Yu was surprised. He scanned the girl by his side and a tiny, upward curve appeared at the corners of his mouth. "They are your biological parents."

Shen Xi shook her head and smiled. "Not anymore."

Yuan Yu listened to Shen Xi's plans enthusiastically. As he listened, the nonchalance on his face disappeared and it was replaced by curiosity.

Ever since his youngest sister was brought home, she never felt a sense of belonging but was instead bullied and despised by her family members.

When the Su family organized the birthday party, they only mentioned their beloved daughter, Su Ruowan, on the invitation cards. Shen Xi, on the other hand, had been ignored on purpose.

"Big Brother, think about what I've just said. I have money now." Shen Xi looked at him. "You'd better give me an answer within two days, don't delay me from finding a partner."

Yuan Yu grinned. "No need, I agree."

Her plans included starting an entertainment company and making it the biggest in China and, perhaps, in the whole world. She would get involved in everything, from movies, TV shows, variety shows, music to fashion. In short, she would monopolize the entire entertainment industry.

She would hit the Su family where it hurt by defeating them in their proudest field. She would crush their pride, rip their disguises apart and end their lifeline.

Her ideas happened to be the same as his!

"Well, Big Brother, I'll whip up a proposal for you within two days. You ought to prepare the required documents to start up a company, too. If you need anything, just look for me." Shen Xi proffered her hand and eyed him seriously. "No regrets!"

Yuan Yu held her hand. "Of course, once we have started, there's no going back!"

Shen Xi smiled slyly. "Here's to a pleasant partnership."

Yuan Yu regarded the girl with fascination while she sank into her own thoughts. An urge to smile showed up on his face.

A pleasant partnership? 

All of a sudden, his younger sister had become a completely different person. Many of her ideas were ahead of her time, bold, creative and well thought out. He found them to be impressive and interesting!

…

When Shen Xi reached the entrance to the villa once more and saw the multiflora roses creeping on the walls, her eyes reddened, and she was on the verge of tearing up.

In midwinter, all that was left of the roses were its vines. Through the metal gate, she could see that the door to the living room was ajar and that someone was inside.

Madam Yun was not used to the heat in the north. When the heat was supplied to her residence1 in the winter, she would often leave the door slightly ajar for some fresh air.

At this time, Old Shen was riddled with debt and the villa was about to be mortgaged by the bank.

Before her rebirth and after she was brought back to the Su family, she had a hard time there. However, she was too ashamed to come back.

After her death, she discovered that Old Shen had chased her away because there were problems with his business. He did not want her to suffer with them.

Later, Old Shen went bankrupt and Madam Yun was diagnosed with cancer.

When Madam Yun passed away, another two years went by before Old Shen learned about Shen Xi's death. He lost his will to live and brought a can of petrol with him to the Su family, ready to kill them and himself there and then.

Yet, the Su family had Su Ruowan, who was a wealthy and famous woman. Instead of killing himself and the Su family, Old Shen joined forces with the latter.

Shen Xi took out her phone and sat on the steps to the house. She dialed a string of numbers. "Mom, it's me."

"I'm not your Mom, you've gotten the wrong number."

The woman's voice on the other end was hostile and firm.
