Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 137: Share A Student

News that Ms. Shu Baiyu came personally to look for Shen Xi quickly spread, inviting a lot of hate and jealousy.

The top class which held a grudge against Shen Xi, was especially livid. Shen Xi was a nobody. What did Ms. Shu Baiyu see in such a person, to even personally come to find her!

Su Ruowan, having caught wind of the news, panicked, was furious, resentful, worried, and scared. The rush of emotions flooding into her left her with ants in her pants.

Shu Baiyu, that old hag, came to the school in the end. Was she that eager to take Shen Xi as a student? What good was Shen Xi, compared to her?

Shen Xi would be the second Shu Baiyu if that b*tch really became the old hag’s student. Mom and Dad would not be willing to forsake someone with value and would accept Shen Xi back in the family.

A lot ran through Su Ruowan’s mind in fleeting seconds. She made up her mind to find and stop Mom from giving in with regret and getting ideas about taking Shen Xi back.

Su Mushi was beside himself when he heard the news, tempted to get blood on his hands after learning that Shen Xi took away his first place – a record that he kept for three years.

His pride and dignity refused to allow anyone to surpass him and stand on top of him.

Above all, it had to be Shen Xi, who he despised the most, insulting him like never before.

“Mushi, what are you doing?” Su Ruowan meekly cried as Su Mushi barged out in a huff.

Without looking back, Su Mushi made his way out of the classroom.

Shen Xi and Yu Yuanxi would not get away with it. The pair must have adopted illicit means to score such high grades.

With him gone, Su Ruowan lowered her head to hide the menacing look on her face. Mushi must have went to deal with Shen Xi, that b*tch. She should cry to Mom for an attempt of sadfishing as well as offer comfort to Mom.

The VIP reception in school.

Shen Xi and Shu Baiyu formally met for the first time. After an exchange of greeting, they sized each other up.

Shu Baiyu had watched the solo dance of the Corn Poppy on video countless times yet was still blown away every single time. It was hard to connect this aloof ice-queen in front of her to the passionate dancer who translated emotions through her body to a beautiful ending.

Shen Xi was also observing her. Despite pushing fifty and being a lot older than her teacher, Jiang Yi, Ms. Shu really aged well. Her good looks and cultured bearings put her around the age of thirty.

“I’m sure you’re aware of my intentions with my presence here.” Shu Baiyu gazed at her. “Let me get straight to the point. I want you to be my student.”

“Thank you, Ms. Shu, but I already have a teacher. I can’t have another teacher.” Shen Xi politely declined.

It never crossed her mind that Ms. Shu Baiyu, known for her indifference and aloofness, would be persistent enough to hunt her down to her school. Shen Xi was not of the opinion that she was worthy of it.

Shu Baiyu replied with a smile, “If you’re talking about Jiang Yin, then you don’t have to worry. She and I are best friends. She won’t mind sharing a student with me.”

She herself never imagined that she would cast all inhibition aside and come looking for a student at her age.

This girl’s talent and dance moves kept her up at night and made her lose her appetite. Shu Baiyu could never be at rest unless she had Shen Xi as her student.
