Rebirth from the Ashes Chapter 374

Chapter 374 - The Knot in His Heart

Pei Xu’s chest felt warm and his eyes felt a little sore. When he met her clear, serious, and resolute gaze, he knew that he could not persuade her and asked, “Can you do it?”

He had always been a proud man and never thought that he would one day hide behind a woman, but if it was her, he would willingly do so.

Shen Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and asked him back, “What do you think?”

Pei Xu knew that if she could not defeat Xu Wei, she certainly would not show off. He looked at her seriously and said, “Okay then.”

Xu Wei listened to the two of them and felt ridiculous. “Pei Xu, are you sure you want to hide behind a woman? No, she’s just a little girl.”

‘It’s funny how these two talked as if they’ll get first place. What a bold and stupid girl!’

Xu Wei’s gang burst out laughing. This little chick was beautiful, but she looked like a goody-two-shoes. How was she going to race? She probably never touched a car before!

“Then do you have the guts to compete with a little girl like me?” Shen Xi had not raced in a long time and truly missed the speed and adrenaline rush.

“If Pei Xu admits that he’s a useless and irresponsible man that only hides behind a lady, then I’ll race you.” Xu Wei did not take Shen Xi seriously and only wanted to watch Pei Xu make a fool of himself. She wanted to stomp all over him and his dignity.

Pei Xu did not say anything.

Xu Wei winked at the group of people around her.

“Pei Xu, I didn’t expect you to be so miserable now to hide behind a chick when things go wrong.”

“If you’re a man, you’ll stand up for yourself.”

“That’s right! Compete with Sister Wei for a chance to see Brother Nian yourself! Don’t rely on a chick. Even if you’re not ashamed, Brother Nian will be ashamed when he finds out!”

“You think that this little girl can win? Pei Xu, if you lose, you’ll become the laughing stock of the Capital.”

The group of people began to sneer at Pei Xu and forced him to stand up for himself.

Pei Xu, a man who could not resist provocation, was surging with rage and was about to come forward.

Shen Xi pulled him back. She smiled and pointed behind them.

The International Class were standing behind them and blocked the whole corridor. All of them looked arrogant and aggressive.

“Hey, what the f*ck are you saying?! Are you bullying them because you have more people?”

“Do you think you really have more people? Come on, guys, let’s beat them up!”

“Just admit it if you don’t dare to compete with our Sister Xi, then hurry up and get lost! Why are you dragging Alpha Xu down?”

“Yeah, scaredy-cat! If you’re a coward just say so. Kneel in front of our Alpha Xu, admit that you lost, and keep your promise.”

“Haha! A top racer is so reluctant to compete with a high school girl. If word gets out, who will be the one to lose their reputation?”

The group stood behind Shen Xi and Pei Xu in a swaggering and domineering stance. They backed them up without a care for the opposing team.

Xu Wei’s group had more than ten people. They looked at each other and knew that they could not afford to mess with this group, so they turned silent and looked at Xu Wei.

They were only racers, whereas this group in front of them was the rich second generation of the Capital. Any one of them would not be an easy opponent.

Xu Wei was enraged and glared at them. “Of course I dare to compete with this little girl!”

Shen Xi saw that Xu Wei was spitting fire and wanted to laugh. She turned to look at the International Class and smiled brightly. The feeling of having someone back her up was great.

They were all so proud and confident in her.

“Great!” Song Wenye stood in front of Shen Xi and pointed to the rest of the people. “Don’t be like those p*ssies. They knew Alpha Xu stopped racing a long time ago and still forced him to race.”

“You guys better think about it carefully.” Xu Wei swept a disdainful glance at them and did not take Shen Xi seriously from the beginning. “If you lose, don’t say I bullied you.”

“Xu Wei, if you wanna compete, just say so. If you don’t, you can admit defeat. Stop with all this f*cking nonsense.” Song Wenye snorted impatiently.

‘Hmph! How dare they look down on our Xixi? They won’t know what’s coming for them!’

Xu Wei was irritated. “Fine, then we’ll see who wins!”

She then took her people away.

The International Class, led by Shen Xi, Song Wenye, and Pei Xu, followed them.

Shen Xi looked at Song Wenye. “You have that much faith in me?”

Her friends did not even ask her whether she could do it or not and backed her up unconditionally. Shen Xi had no idea where their confidence came from.

“Mhmm.” Song Wenye took a piece of mint candy and fed it to her. “Refresh your brain. We must win that b*ch, Xu Wei.”

Song Wenye did not know when she started to believe in whatever Xixi said. If Xixi said that the sun rose from the west or the earth was a cube, she would believe her.

Shen Xi smiled. Since she took the bet, she would definitely win.

When they left for the race track, Pei Xu did not go with them in a car.

Shen Xi looked at Song Wenye. “What’s going on with Pei Xu and that woman?”

She analyzed what she heard and figured that it had to do with a man named Sinian who was Pei Xu’s friend and Xu Wei’s boyfriend.

“Three years ago, Pei Xu got into a car accident when he was racing. His best friend, Ning Sinian, was in the same car with him and had been in a coma since. I don’t know about the rest of the story, so ask him yourself.” Song Wenye sighed. “This has been a knot in his heart. Maybe if you ask him and he speaks of it, this knot will be unraveled.”

Since the accident, none of them dared to mention this in front of Pei Xu, not even Ning Sinian’s name.

Song Wenye had a hunch that no one else but Shen Xi could untie this knot in Pei Xu’s heart.

When Shen Xi heard this, she did not ask any more questions but finally understood why Pei Xu rode his bike to and from school every day.

This race that Xu Wei mentioned was an underground race initiated by the underground racing king, Bai Yu. He invited all the top racers. Two internationally known racers from China and Europe also participated in this race.

There was a sea of people and all kinds of cars parked on the track. Luxury supercars were scattered as far as the eye could see as many of the rich second generation and gangsters came to watch the race.

Among the crowd, a low-profile man who wore a long black trench coat, baseball cap, and sunglasses, suppressed his cold, arrogant, and noble aura as well as his handsome face.

The man deliberately suppressed his kingly aura, so women all around him took the opportunity to talk to him.

“Get lost.” Fu Qingli looked at the woman who came up to him in disgust. The moment he looked up, he saw a familiar figure. His pupils suddenly constricted.

‘Shen Xi! Why is she here?’
