Chapter 353: Do the Splits

When Shen Xi saw the numbers, her pupils dilated. A hundred times the odds of her bet of five million would be 500 million in winnings but she received one billion instead. She looked at Qi Xiu.

“You go ahead, I need to make a phone call.”

Pei Xu answered the phone. It was very noisy and he sounded like he was enjoying himself at a bar. “Xixi, are you coming over? Come quickly! We’re all waiting for you!”

Shen Xi heard the chaos through the phone. “I can’t, I’m still in a meeting. What’s going on with the money?”

Pei Xu’s voice was loud. He had gone to a relatively quiet place and said, “Oh, that! They said that’s to thank you for helping them earn so much money!”

Shen Xi did not buy it. These guys had always been big spenders and although they were from wealthy families, they always made a fuss about how poor they were for not having enough spending money. The most they would do to thank her would be treating her to dinner. 500 million yuan as a thank-you gift was over the top. “Tell me the truth.”

Before Pei Xu could say anything, a bunch of their classmates came next to him and shouted, “Sister Xi! We got back whatever the Su family owes you! It’s all yours, so just accept it!”

Shen Xi asked, “What do you mean?”

Pei Xu shooed them away and explained, “I didn’t say anything. Su Yi was the one who told them that he’s your father, so they found out and they demanded justice for you by taking whatever they owed us. Since we got this from the Su family, which should’ve been yours anyway, so we’ll take as much as we can get.”

“You guys did this for me?” Shen Xi’s eyes twitched a little.

These guys did not go against Su Yi for the money, but to avenge her, so they were at a standoff with Su Yi for half a month.

“You don’t need to thank us,” Pei Xu’s voice was loud. “You should get back to work. Don’t interrupt our party! It’s too noisy so I can’t hear you anyway. See ya!”

Shen Xi heard him mumbling and a bunch of them talking next to him saying that if she wanted to thank them, she should quickly come party with them and get the check.

She looked at the dimmed screen of her phone and felt her eyes welled up. ‘These guys…’

Qi Xiu came over and saw her smiling. “Whose call is it that made you so happy?”

Shen Xi looked at him and said, “Qi Xiu, I have a party that I must go to. Can you manage by yourself? When you’ve finalized the plan, send it to me so I can take a look.”

Qi Xiu had never seen her so anxious. There was a pleasant smile under her eyes with her eyebrows slightly raised when she mentioned the party. He asked her, “Your friends’ party?”

“Mm,” Shen Xi nodded, turned around and ran. “Then I’ll leave this to you!”

Qi Xiu looked at her brisk steps and pleasant smile like she was going for a date. ‘It must be a very good friend.’

When Shen Xi ran to the bar, she met up with Song Wenye at the door.

Song Wenye stood in place for three seconds before she jumped into her arms and cried, “Shen Xi, you b*tch!”

Shen Xi frowned and thought, ‘How did I offend her?’

Song Wenye cried miserably as she tugged on Shen Xi’s arm and recounted Shu Baiyu and Guan Yue’s evil deeds. It was simply torture and inhumane. “They’re devils reincarnate! Look at my arms and legs! If I don’t complete the dance routines, I’m not allowed to eat. If the practice is not up to par, then I’m not allowed to sleep!”

Shen Xi looked relieved and wiped Song Wenye’s tears as she said in a serious tone, “Lil’ Ye, strict teachers bring out quality students.”

“You…you…” Song Wenye had just stopped crying, but when she heard those words, she was so frustrated that she cried again and complained, “You told me that Teacher Shu is very gentle and Guan Yue is very kind… What bullsh*t! They’re so evil!”

“Well… Look on the bright side. Think about He Pei and Fu Qingye…” Shen Xi patted her back as she did not expect them to put Song Wenye through such a gruelling training.

Shen Xi had been in contact every few days for the past two weeks to ask how Song Wenye was doing. Every time she called, Teacher Shu and Sister Yueyue said Song Wenye was doing fine.

Song Wenye was not allowed contact with the outside world as it was a closed training.

“If… If not for them, I… I won’t enter the entertainment industry!” Song Wenye huffed and finally stopped crying.

Shen Xi stroked her head and pulled her inside. “Alright, let’s celebrate that you’re out of hell and gain a new life!”

“Bullsh*t! Didn’t you guys come to celebrate getting the money?” Song Wenye sobbed.

Shen Xi said, “It’s all the same…”

When the two ladies opened the door to the private room, a group of friends surrounded them. They were surprised to see Song Wenye and cheered for her. She finally made it out of the training alive.

Song Wenye had just cried but her puffy eyes were not apparent as she had her smokey eye makeup on. She smiled and said, “Get out of the way! Let me show you a split!”

Song Wenye stood in place and lifted one leg to do a perfect standing split.

The group cheered and pulled them both in.

Pei Xu swirled a glass of red wine and laughed when he saw them. “I guess you two are considered sisters of the same master!”

Song Wenye stopped complaining as soon as she saw them. She hugged Shen Xi’s shoulders and looked smug. “Give us a full glass of wine!”

Shen Xi was not much of a drinker, but she was there to celebrate Song Wenye’s return and to thank the rest for fighting so hard for her. “This glass is for all of you. I’ll accept the money you gave me. Thank you guys so much! If you need help in the future, just come to me!”

She then raised her glass and drank the entire glass of wine.

It was not about the money, but their intentions. To fight for her, they went all out and were even prepared to face all kinds of trouble. No one retreated midway and they finally got Su Yi to relent.

“Sister Xi, we’re all friends, so don’t have to mention it!”

“That’s right! The Su family bullying you means they’re bullying us too!”

“We just can’t look past Su Yi’s evil deeds! You won’t get angry that we scolded him right?”

The group drank and wanted to curse Su Yi. After hearing from Pei Xu that Shen Xi had broken off all relations with the Su family, they still did not dare to openly curse Su Yi and clarified with her about it first.

Shen Xi shook her head. “He and I have nothing to do with each other now.”

The group was relieved and began scolding Su Yi for being a scumbag. They were talking about how blind he was for throwing away a precious gem and picking up trash as a daughter instead.

Shen Xi sat on the sofa and watched them complain before running to the dance floor to sing and dance.

Song Wenye picked a few songs and sang in a soprano that made everyone’s ears bleed.

Pei Xu answered a phone call. A moment later, he casually chucked his phone to Shen Xi and said, “Fu Qingxuan’s looking for you.”

Shen Xi was stunned and glanced at him. The two of them must have been in contact with each other. Otherwise, how would Fu Qingxuan know that they were together now?
