Rebirth: Different Way

    All night, Shen Xi walked aimlessly on the empty streets of Zhongjing. Unconsciously, the sky gradually brightened.

    Shen Xi looked at the word cemetery that appeared in the mist in front of her in surprise. He unexpectedly walked here, the sleeping place of her mother.

      Lying here, I don't know how to be lonely.

    Shen Xi thought of these thoughts, and searched around. The cemetery in the early morning was silent and there was no one. Shen Xi leaned over the wall and turned over, and followed her memory to her mother's tomb.

      All her beauty was no different in her father's eyes than a picture on the wall.

    Shen Xi squatted down slowly, put her hand on her mother's face, and traced her mother's eyebrows little by little along the photo. The contact between the fingertips was very cold, but Shen Xi felt a warm feeling in her heart and smiled slightly.

    Shen Xi's mother was born in a Han family in Zhongjing, and her father Han Fuli was a famous jewelry tycoon in China. The family has been in the jewelry business for several generations. It is a pity that although the Han family is rich, their children are not prosperous. In the generation of Shen Xi's mother, there are only two mothers, Han Rou's uncle, Han Yu.

    Shen Xi did not have a deep impression of her uncle. Before the age of six, her uncle Han Yu was busy taking over the family business. At the age of six, Shen Xi's mother jumped to her death, and her uncle died on the spot in a car accident while rushing to her mother's funeral. So far, the word uncle left Shen Xi with a tall and thin figure in her impression.

    At that time, the children passed away one after another, and the business of the Han family was in trouble due to a major mistake made by the uncle during his lifetime. news of critical illness.

    The young Shen Xi did not understand the meaning of her mother's death, so she had to face the fact that her grandfather also left him. The grandfather who was dying in front of the hospital bed took his hand, trembling and repeating again and again, "From now on, you are the only one left, Xiao Xi."

    In the past few years, Shen Xi has gradually forgotten many things, but he has always kept this sentence in his heart. Since his grandfather passed away, he is really alone.

    Thinking of this, Shen Xi sighed softly, rubbed her numb legs, and sat down against her mother's stone tablet. This was Shen Xi's favorite behavior in the past, and every time she did this, Shen Xi would have the illusion that she was leaning on her mother's arms. Shen Xi likes to talk to his mother about his heart and his unsatisfactory things in the Shen family. It seems that he can get the strength from his mother to contend with all the indifference.

    But this time, Shen Xi suddenly didn't know what to say. He originally thought that he had a lot of grievances to talk to his mother, but when the words came to his mouth, Shen Xi realized that not all grievances could be told. Some things, some pain, are too heavy, and light words cannot bear that kind of weight.

    Shen Xi sat silently against her mother's stele for a whole morning, until the sound of cluttered footsteps around, Shen Xi suddenly recovered, it turned out that it was time for the cemetery to open.

    Shen Xi let out a long breath, stretched out her hand and rubbed her frozen face hard, and stood up against the stone tablet. In the pale golden morning light, Shen Xi took one last deep look at her mother and turned to leave. He had already thought about it, he was going to leave the Shen family, and leave Zhongjing. I'm afraid he won't have the opportunity to visit his mother again in a short period of time. But unlike the previous life, this time he has the right to choose when to come back.

    Shen Xi left the cemetery with firm steps, and waved a car to report the address of Shen's house.

    The driver curiously looked at the pale boy in the back seat from the rearview mirror. The boy didn't seem to have a good rest. As soon as he got in the car, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. From the driver's point of view, he could only see the boy's smooth hair hanging down, covering his face, revealing the boy's bloodless lips and pointed chin.

    The driver thought for a while, then reached out and turned down the sound of the radio in the car a little bit, but when he looked up, he just happened to meet the boy's eyes in the mirror, dark and faint with a coldness .

    The driver shuddered and immediately sat upright. He looked at the road seriously and didn't dare to look left or right.

    Shen Xi indifferently looked away from the driver and stared out the window unconsciously.

    The Zhongjing outside the window is like another world to Shen Xi. At this time, it was the morning rush hour in Zhongjing, and countless people and vehicles gathered together. Horns, human voices, and various sounds were mixed, and the whole city was lively and lively.

    Shen Xi looked at everything in front of her eyes almost greedily, ten years of prison life, the deadly silence and depression collapsed almost immediately on this vibrant morning. Shen Xi clearly felt the beating of her heart in her body, which was fresh and full of vitality.

    This feeling is so good that when the taxi left the main city and turned into the western suburbs where Shen's family is located, Shen Xi was still uncomfortable for a moment. This is the so-called wealthy area of ​​Zhongjing. Different from the lively and hustle and bustle of the main city, the western suburbs are always clean and quiet. On both sides of the road, at a glance, there are continuous tall trees and various mansions hidden in them, and the Shen family is one of them.

    As she got closer to the Shen family, Shen Xi's emotions became more and more uncontrollable, and a deep disgust emerged in his heart. This kind of disgust is not the weak and powerless disgust of 18-year-old Shen Xi, but the uncontrollable destructive emotion of 28-year-old Shen Xi towards the Shen family. This emotion was so strong that Shen Xi had to control it with all her might to stand at the door of the Shen family mansion as usual.

    The angry Shen Xi pushed open the door impatiently, ignoring the accustomed eyes of the surrounding servants, strode into the main house, and went straight to the restaurant. In my memory at this time, Father Shen and Shen Ji usually dine in the restaurant, and if Shen Cheng got up early, they would come together. As for herself, Shen Xi couldn't help sneering, who would care? Anyway, since his grandfather passed away, he hasn't had breakfast with his father again.

    As Shen Xi expected, in the clean and warm restaurant, Shen's father over fifty was sitting in the main seat drinking coffee while talking to Shen Ji beside him. Different from looking at himself with disgust, Father Shen has always been a loving father towards Shen Ji, just like at this time, Father Shen looked at Shen Ji with a soft smile on his face. Shen Ji also had a smile on his face, leaning forward slightly in the direction of Shen's father, from a distance it was really a picture of a father's kindness and filial piety.

    Shen Xi stood indifferently at the door of the restaurant and watched the warm scene in the hall, with a sneer in her heart, but with a irritable and irritable look on her face, she rushed in, and pulled away the closest to herself. chair, and sat down heavily.

    The warm atmosphere between Father Shen and Shen Ji was interrupted by Shen Xi's behavior, Shen Jiwei frowned invisibly, Father Shen glanced at Shen Xi in disgust, and patted it gently Pat Shen Ji's shoulder, "Your proposal is very good, just do as you say."

    After speaking, she got up and prepared to leave immediately.

    Shen Xi looked at Father Shen's figure coldly, until she suddenly said, "I want to go abroad."

    Shen Ji glanced at Shen Xi and said softly, "Okay, father."

    Although she knew in her heart that Father Shen was disregarding her, she could see that Father Shen didn't even bother to look at her, and at this moment Shen Xi still felt a tingling in her heart. Immediately, Shen Xi spurned him. Could it be that now, he is still praying for the ridiculous father's love?

    The self-mockery on Shen Xi's face flashed, but she was sharply captured by Shen Ji. Shen Ji glanced at Shen Xi calmly, without any expression. For this half-brother, Shen Ji's attitude has always been ignoring.

    Thinking of Father Shen's arrangement, Shen Ji rarely asked, "Which country are you going to?"

    Shen Xi casts a mocking glance at Shen Ji, "Can I call the shots?"

    Shen Ji watched Shen Xi resentfully pull the chair under him, get up, and leave, frowning, thinking of something, turning around and heading to Shen Cheng's room.

    At 8:00 in the morning, it was still Shen Cheng's dream time. Shen Ji opened the window rudely and lifted Shen Cheng's quilt. The cold wind blew in, and Shen Cheng jumped up and complained angrily, "Brother, today is the weekend, and there are no classes at school."

    Shen Ji let out a faint hum, ignoring Shen Cheng's accusation, and asked, "Have you provoke Shen Xi these days?"

    "Shen Xi?" Shen Cheng was surprised that eldest brother would take the initiative to talk about Shen Xi, and quickly shook his head.

    Shen Ji looked at Shen Cheng's movements and raised his eyebrows.

    Shen Cheng immediately chose to confess, and hurriedly defended, "I didn't do anything, I just wanted to see the excitement of Shen Xi."

    "Lively?" Shen Ji's tone was puzzled

    Shen Cheng explained consciously, "Brother, you don't know, last night was the 18th birthday of that kid Shen Xi, that kid was obsessed with Wen Yao, and last night he was waiting eagerly for Wen Yao Celebrate his birthday. I took Shen Rong there on purpose. I thought I would see a good show, but who knows where that kid Shen Xi is, he didn't meet him. "

    When Shen Ji heard Shen Rong's name, his expression became ugly, "You stay away from Shen Rong."

    Shen Cheng looked at Shen Ji's black face, and nodded vigorously, "I know, it's just an illegitimate child, just take him to play, brother, don't worry."

    Shen Ji gave Shen Cheng a warning look and left Shen Cheng's room.

    From a distance, the other side of the aisle is Shen Xi's room, Shen Ji stared at Shen Xi's door half-slammed, turned and returned to the study. Was it Shen Xi's birthday yesterday? In this way, could it be that Shen Xi was stimulated last night and suddenly decided to go abroad.

    Shen Ji raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. Over the years, the family has been accustomed to ignoring Shen Xi. I didn't expect Shen Xi to be 18 years old.

    8 years old, Shen Ji thought of the will in the lawyer's hand, and his eyes became sharp.
