Rebirth from the Ashes

With clues brought up, the reporters on site were able to identify the woman right away. However, they were all talking about different things.

“Ms. Cai Ni.”

“She’s Shen Xi.”

“Oh, the student of Ms. Shu Baiyu.”

“That’s right. She scored the highest in science in the capital this year. A top student of Capital University, if I may say so myself.”

Among them were those who had met Ms. Cai Ni. Some of them had watched her perform a classic dance in replacement of Shu Baiyu while others quickly connected the dots that she was a top achiever in science.

The question set the crowd abuzz.

“Is she holding the press conference with Screenwriter Cloud Seven?”

“Maybe. Ms. Cai Ni is the lead stylist of the production.”

“Why wasn’t it mentioned before?”

“I guess it was a last-minute decision.”

The discussion circled back to the reason Ms. Cai Ni was here. Even though the crowd had an inkling, no one spoke their thoughts.

It would be mind-blowing if Ms. Cai Ni turned out to be Cloud Seven. It would be quite bad*ss if two geniuses in their own right happened to be the same person.

In the row sat the cast.

Lin Chan’s jaw dropped. No way, no way, no way! Was Ms. Cai Ni Screenwriter Cloud seven? Oh gawd! How was anyone going to top that?

She instinctively looked at Hu Zhang for validation. Hu Zheng had seen Screenwriter Cloud Seven for sure as Lin Chan tricked him into giving her the information.

Hu Zheng smiled at her without saying a word. The person herself was about to talk anyway, so it did not have to come from him. Nevertheless, he took a glance at Su Ruowan.

Su Ruowan completely lost it. Her eyes first widened before shaking violently. While insanity overtook her, her body muscles tensed up in fear. Her mind blew up the moment Shen Xi made an appearance.

Shen Xi! Who did the b*tch think she was? Why did she attend such an important event and ruin Screenwriter Cloud Seven’s press conference? She had all the nerve.

Su Ruowan’s shaky gaze followed Shen Xi as the latter took steps to the table in the center of the stage. She wanted to yell at Shen Xi to stop and get lost, but all her strength was sucked out of her.

Following Shen Xi’s arrival, Su Ruowan was drowning in a cold and deep ocean of despair. She could not breathe and everything in her vision became hazy.

“Hello, everyone. Let me introduce myself. I am Cloud Seven.” Shen Xi stood in front of the table and made a self-introduction before taking a seat. She adjusted the level of the microphone and added. “Thank you for coming. You may now proceed with the questions.”

Silence befell the room at first, then all hell broke loose. Forgetting to raise their hands, the reporters fought to jump in with questions that had been bugging them.

There was so much chaos that none of the questions was audible.

The cast among the audience exchanged surprised glances. Jesus Christ. Screenwriter Cloud Seven was Ms. Cai Ni. This was breaking news!

Lin Chan gave Su Ruowan a complicated look while the latter seemed completely out of it. Su Ruowan stared blankly at the person on stage.

The only thing echoing in Su Ruowan’s mind was – “I am Cloud Seven.”

This sentence pushed her to the edge of no return. She refused to believe that Shen Xi, the b*tch, could possibly be Screenwriter Cloud Seven. It made no sense.

If the b*tch was indeed Cloud Seven, why was the leading role of The Smiling Nation handed to Su Mushi? Why was she picked to play the supporting role of Lady Luck?

It was from these two standpoints that she eliminated the possibility that Shen Xi was Cloud Seven.

However, reality slapped her in the face and threw her into the depths of despair and fear. No one would care about whatever was played in her head, but Shen Xi declared she was Cloud Seven.

These words sent her straight to hell.

Su Ruowan had no idea what the reporters asked, nor did she pay attention to Shen Xi’s answers. Once the fear and despair wore off, the resentment came on strong and burned through her veins. With bloodshot eyes, she gave the person on stage the death stare.

Go to hell!

Go to hell!

Shen Xi should go to hell!

“There she is, Dad.”

An angry voice, bearing a murderous intent came from somewhere.

Su Ruowan heard it and made the voice out to be none other than Su Muxuan’s. Like a robot, she stiffly and slowly turned around to find two insidious faces among the crowd. Her mind stopped working there and then, feeling lost at what to do.

“Get her!” Su Yi caught sight of Su Ruowan. With crooked eyes, he gave her a foul look before noticing the person surrounded by reporters and inquiries on stage. “Huh? Xuan, isn’t that sister?”

Su Muxuan was so absorbed in having found Su Ruowan that he had not observed his surroundings. He was not close with Shen Xi as he grew up with Su Ruowan. Besides, it was hard to spot Shen Xi in the crowd of reporters. Su Yi’s words prompted him to look over. Overwhelmed with a weird feeling, Su Muxuan blurted, “Why is she here?”

He then widened his eyes in shock. Since the reporters gathered around Shen Xi during Screenwriter Cloud Seven’s press conference, did that mean she was Screenwriter Cloud Seven?

The thought startled him, but great joy quickly ensued. Su Muxuan turned to Su Yi. “Dad, she’s Cloud Seven. I recall that she’s not paid the writing fees for Cloud Seven’s TV series but gets a cut. Her TV series would be enough to pay off our debt.”

The Smiling Nation was all the rage in China and its cultural sphere. The royalty alone was said to be up to ten billion yuan. The money was enough to write the Su family’s debt off and make a comeback.

Su Yi glanced at Shen Xi with delight and satisfaction. As expected from his daughter who inherited all his goodness. He was no longer worried about the Su family’s bankruptcy as he could acquire money from her to start again. Having figured that out, Su Yi instructed Su Muxuan, “Let’s go after Su Ruowan, the brat, and leave this for later.”

Not only had the b*tch betrayed them, but Mushi was also in a coma because of Su Ruowan. Su Yi could not let it go until he got his hands on Su Ruowan.

“Sure.” Su Muxuan nodded before pushing ahead through the crowd.

Out for blood, the two made their way over and Su Ruowan knew she could not sit around and wait.. She turned to glance at Shen Xi with snaky eyes and screamed, “Shen Xi, your dad and brother are here to see you.”
