Rebirth: Different Way

Chapter 7: chance encounter

    Five years later

    "Shen, I heard that you are going back to China. Come out for a drink when you have time."

    "Shen, we have a farewell party for you. Please join us at 7 o'clock in the KING bar on Friday night."

    "Shen, I'm old John, I need to talk to you."

    This is a very ordinary single apartment. The whole apartment is not large, but it looks very empty due to not many items.

    In a corner of the apartment at this moment, Shen Xi is listening to the recording on the phone casually while bending over to pack her luggage. Compared with five years ago, Shen Xi's figure after five years has grown a lot, the youthful youth has begun to recede, and the outline of the youth has become increasingly obvious. Due to regular exercise, although Shen Xi's body is thin, her muscles are strong and lines are perfect, which is quite different from the thin and thin five years ago.

    Speaking of which, unlike Shen Ji and Shen Cheng who look like his father, and Shen Rong like his mother, Shen Xi looks neither like his father nor his deceased mother. At first glance, the long-opened Shen Xi is more like a replica of his uncle Han Yu. Without the gloomy and violent aura of her youth, Shen Xi now looks gentle and restrained.

    The call recordings are still playing one by one, and most of the recordings are from one person - old John.

    Shen Xi was defeated by his perseverance and had to stop what she was doing, grab the phone and call back.

    "HI, John, I'm Shen."

    "Thank goodness Shen, you finally contacted me. I think we need to talk."

    Even across the phone line, Shen Xi could feel the relieved mood of Old John opposite.

    Shen Xi felt a warm current in her heart, "Thank you, John, but I don't need it."

    "Shen, believe me, hatred can never save our hearts." Old John hurried to speak, but was interrupted by Shen Xi, "I don't need rescue, thank you! goodbye!"

    Hang up the phone, Shen Xi simply unplugged the phone line. The expression of old John's blowing beard and staring eyes flashed in his mind after he couldn't get through the phone, and the corners of Shen Xi's mouth slowly twitched.

    John in Shen Xi's mouth is a warm and soft-hearted old man who opened a psychological clinic near the residential area where Shen Xi lives. Since Shen Xi went to see him four years ago because of continuous nightmares, Old John has become Shen Xi's exclusive psychiatrist.

    Shen Xi once described her last life as an absurd dream and told it to Old John, perhaps because Shen Xi's words revealed too much resentment, Old John insisted that Shen Xi wanted to get rid of the nightmare You need to learn to let go of the hatred in your heart.

    Shen Xi didn't care what Old John said, hatred was the whole driving force for him to go on, without that, what meaning would his rebirth have.

    Shen Xi quickly packed her luggage while recalling the soft-hearted old man. Soon the last thing was put away, Shen Xi looked at the empty room, turned around and left with no nostalgia for her luggage.

    Shen Xi lives a long way from the airport. Busy packing things for the past few days, Shen Xi didn't have a good rest. Therefore, as soon as he got in the car, Shen Xi took the time to close his eyes and rest.

    Speaking of which, Shen Xi was originally scheduled to return to China in three months, and that was the time when Fang Luowei appeared in Zhongjing in the previous life. It's a pity that the plan can never keep up with the changes. A phone call a few days ago changed Shen Xi's schedule.

    Thinking of the content of the call, Shen Xi frowned. The phone rang just at this moment, and the word "Old K" flashed on the big screen.

    "Hi!"

    "Why can't you get through on the phone at home?" The voice in the microphone was full of accusations, as if Shen Xi had done something wrong to the other party. In particular, the other party was still holding his throat at this time, the shrill voice was in his ears, and Shen Xi held his forehead with a headache.

    He can imagine what the person on the opposite side of the phone looks like at this time, he must be staring, pouting, and wanting to cry. Such an expression is pleasing to the eyes on a beautiful girl, and he endured it when it appeared on a beautiful boy, but when a man in his thirties made this expression, Shen Xi only felt goosebumps all over his body. come out.

    Shen Xi hadn't adjusted her emotions yet, and the person on the other side began to be reluctant, "I hate it, why are you ignoring others."

    "My flight in the afternoon is on its way to the airport." Shen Xi tried her best to keep her tone calm with a straight face , then groaned tenderly, "Ah, what if people are not ready to meet you? It's too late to do a beauty treatment now? Will you despise them?"

    Shen Xi gritted her teeth, "Speak human words!"

    The other party also seemed to know that Shen Xi's bottom line was here, and smiled and acted coquettishly, "Oh, Xiao Xixi, you are so annoying!" The next moment, before Shen Xi couldn't bear to hang up the phone, the other party's tone was normal He got up, "Shen Dehan was discharged from the hospital this morning, and I got his medical records. It seems that he passed out a few days ago because of exhaustion and no other reason."

    Not waiting for Shen Xi to respond, the other party couldn't help but tease again, "Xiao Xixi, you are too miserable, Shen Dehan was secretly hospitalized and even the illegitimate child was urgently notified, but you were Keep it in the dark. Shen Dehan really intends to cancel your inheritance rights to that illegitimate child, right? You have to be careful, you haven't paid my investigation fee yet."

    Shen Xi was accustomed to the ridicule in the other party's words, but hearing the other party's investigation fee should have risen with inflation to the recent lack of money to buy cosmetics, she finally couldn't help interrupting, " Did I ask the person you're looking for?"

    When it comes to business, the other party immediately becomes serious, "I live up to the trust, I finally found one."

    "How much like?" Shen Xi directly asked the most concerned question

    "Who do you want to compare with? If you want to compare with Zhou Mingmei, you will only have a seven-point likeness, but if you compare it with the photo you gave me, you will have a nine-point likeness."

    Shen Xi smiled with satisfaction, "I will go directly to you when I get off the plane, and someone will help me make an appointment." After thinking about it, Shen Xi added, "If the person you find is really like you Like I said, I'll double the cost."

    After saying this, Shen Xi simply hung up the phone, keeping all the other party's words out of her ears.

    After installing the mobile phone, Shen Xi closed her eyes again, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously evoked a cool smile.

    He thought he didn't care. After ten years in prison and five years of indifference, he no longer had any expectations for the Shen family. He disguised himself as a playboy, he forbeared hatred, and he spent five years slowly accumulating strength. He felt that his heart was cruel enough and cold-hearted enough, but when he heard the news that his father had fainted into the hospital, he still hesitated subconsciously.

    But the reality is so ridiculous and cruel, his hesitation is just a loud slap in the face! Everyone related to the Shen family received news that Father Shen was admitted to the hospital, but he was excluded. If it wasn't for him having been looking for someone to stare at the Shen family, if it wasn't for Father Shen just fainted from fatigue, would he not even know that Father Shen passed away, or would he have been excluded by the cooperation of everyone.

    The little beast named hatred in her heart began to scream, Shen Xi opened her eyes and showed a harmless smile to herself in the rearview mirror.

    Half an hour later, in the first class flight to Zhongjing, Shen Xi sat quietly in her seat. There was still some time before the plane took off, and Shen Xi boredly scrolled through the video player, intending to pass the long journey.

     "Borrow the trouble and let it go." A low and magnetic voice sounded above his head,

    Shen Xi quickly stood up when she heard the sound and turned sideways to give way, but found that the speaker had no intention of entering.

    Shen Xi looked over suspiciously. When she saw the other party's appearance, her eyes flashed. Before he could figure out what expression to make, the other party had already said, "Shen Xi?"

    Shen Xi was surprised, he never thought that the other party would recognize him. After all, counting his five years abroad, they should have not seen each other for seven or eight years.

    Hesitantly nodded, Shen Xi put on a puzzled look, "Cousin Mingxuan?"

    The other party obviously did not expect that Shen Xi would call him that, and then smiled lightly.

    Li Mingxuan's smile is very good-looking, even though she hates the other party in her heart, Shen Xi has to admit it. Speaking of which, Shen Xi is no stranger to Li Mingxuan's current appearance, and has Old K who has collected all the information of the Shen family with all his heart. As Shen Ji's close friend and cousin, Li Mingxuan appears in the information quite a few times. So old K once swore that the two of them would definitely have a leg.

      has one leg.

    Thinking only for a moment, Li Mingxuan has already sat down beside Shen Xi.

    Shen Xi sat down and heard Li Mingxuan say, "Xiao Xi is going back to China?"

    Xiao Xi really stimulated Shen Xi, Shen Xi felt a chill and nodded calmly.

    Li Mingxuan looked at Shen Xi, seemingly unintentional, "I heard that Xiao Xi, you are doing well abroad, why did you suddenly think of going back to China?"

     

    Mentioning in her heart, Shen Xi looked back calmly, "I'm tired of staying abroad, and I want to go back to China."

    Li Mingxuan looked at the calm look on Shen Xi's face, and nodded in agreement, "It's really not much fun to go abroad, Xiaoxi wants to go back to China."

    Shen Xi sneered in her heart, knowing that her return to China at this time must have attracted the attention of the other party, but what about that? Anyway, he will meet him when he goes back. The big drama that Shen Xi has been waiting for for five years is finally about to start. How could he be willing to miss it?

    The two chatted casually, Li Mingxuan seemed to be very interested in Shen Xi's life abroad, and raised the topic intentionally or unintentionally. Shen Xi certainly did not live up to his hopes, and talked about his foreign food, drink and fun all the way.

    The plane took off soon, Shen Xi went to the toilet on the way, quickly took out her mobile phone, turned it on, and typed a few lines.

    "I'm with Li Mingxuan, flight number CA981, you know what to do."

     Satisfied that the phone was turned off, Shen Xi walked out. Meeting Li Mingxuan's gaze, Shen Xi's mouth twitched, revealing a harmless smile.
