Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 46: Who Does She Think She Is

It never occurred to the girl that someone would not recognize her. “I’m Guan Yue, Ms. Shu Baiyu’s number one student!”

Shen Xi replied, “Thank you for your teacher’s appreciation but I don’t take on apprenticeships.”

Guan Yue would think that the person was stuck up if this came out of anyone’s mouth, yet she believed Shen Xi was true to her words. “My teacher is the top dancer in China. Do you know how many people are dying to be her student?”

Shen Xi was polite. “Tell your teacher that I will pay a visit when time allows.”

Of course, she was conscious that Ms. Shu Baiyu was the top dancer in China. She was the pride and treasure of China.

“Why? You should at least give me a reason so that I can inform Teacher.” Guan Yue caught up to her.

“I do not intend to make a career out of the dancing,” Shen Xi spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.

She had a lot on her hands. Work and revenge was not her everything, the happiness and health of her loved ones were what she was after.

“Okay.” Seeing that she made up her mind, Guan Yue did not insist further. However, she did feel it was a pity though.

Guan Yue was well aware of her lack of talent but she put in the due diligence and effort, becoming Teacher’s longest standing and only persevering student.

Nevertheless, she knew that she was still unworthy of stepping into Teacher’s shoes.

Shen Xi, on the other hand, was able because she had the gift and ingenuity that Guan Yue lacked.

Guan Yue was a contestant of the finals as well and as Shu Baiyu’s student and national second ranked dancer, she had her own dressing room.

“Do you want to take a break over in my room?” Guan Yue extended an invitation.

“It’s okay, thank you.” Shen Xi politely declined and smiled.

Guan Yue watched the girl’s receding figure. The latter appeared distant and aloof, like a wild rose beautiful on its own in the wilderness, willfully growing with flourishing life.

News that Guan Yue was looking for Shen Xi because Shu Baiyu wanted to take Shen Xi in as a student quickly travelled. There were those who lamented Shen Xi’s declination while others presumed her to be on her high horse and tactless.

“Ahh—” Su Ruowan let out an angry scream with a contorted look on her face. Reflecting viciousness in her eyes, she flipped the table before her. “B*tch!”

Shen Xi did it intentionally!

That woman was deliberately putting on a show!

Shen Xi was taunting her!

She could already imagine Shen Xi flashing her that smug smile. ‘Su Ruowan, you want to be her student, but she doesn’t want you. Here she is, begging for me to be her student.’

What a b*tch, Shen Xi was. That woman knew for a fact that Mom and Dad wanted Shu Baiyu to take her on as a student and had paid multiple visits to the teacher.

Old Hag Shu had told Mom that she lacked ingenuity and talent, and even offered the unsolicited advice that she should give up dancing.

It was not Old Hag Shu’s right to decide if she had talent or ingenuity. Who the hell did she think she was?

That old hag must be blind to select Shen Xi the B*tch to be her top student.

She clenched her fists tight. The immense jealousy and anger left her body shaking and eyes growing with twisted ruthlessness.

Shu Baiyu! Shen Xi!

Su Ruowan was not going to write the whole thing off just like that!

Su Mushi and Li Jingran went to search for Su Muyan who had suddenly gone missing.

By the time Su Mushi returned, he saw Su Ruowan staring into blank space on the sofa with the back of her hand bleeding.

Distressed, Su Mushi bolted over and kneeled by her. He nervously held her hand. “What’s wrong? What are you hurt?”

“Mushi, have you found Muyan?” Teary-eyed, Su Ruowan withdrew her arm. “I’m fine. It was an accidental scratch.”
