Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 760 Excuse Me, Please Move Over

“Dr. Fu, you sure are a good brother. Don’t tell me you don’t know what your sister is made

of.”

“Ha! Dr. Fu, I think if you have a bit of common sense, you would know better than to bring her to such an important event.”

Mockery and taunt finally reared their ugly heads.

“What are you trying to say?” Fu Qingxuan scoffed coldly.

“What are we trying to say? Oh, don’t play dumb, Dr. Fu. I’m sure you’ve received a notification saying that only those in possession of the invitation card are allowed to participate in the conference. This is not somewhere any Tom, Dick, and Harry can waltz in.” “Dr. Fu, take a good look. Is your sister’s name on the list?”

name

“I checked the list. She’s not in there.”

People started to air their disgruntlement.

Turning ashen in the face, Fu Qingxuan could blow steam out of his ears. He was about to give them a piece of his mind when Shen Xi grabbed him by the arm.

“Brother, they’re right. The name, Shen Xi, doesn’t have a right to attend this important conference.” Shen Xi smiled while taking in all the hostility around them. “I’ve seen the list. There’s no Shen Xi on it.”

Everyone gazed at her in confusion as Shen Xi addressed herself from a third-person perspective. Not knowing what she was trying to get at, they looked at her in contempt.

Fu Qingxuan’s fury was overtaken by sweet joy, as if doused in honey, at the word “Brother”.

His little sister called him “brother”!

This was the first time she verbally acknowledged him in public.

Dragging Fu Qingxuan along, Shen Xi strode to the best VIP seats in the front. The name tag on the seat was written “Jiu Zhou”.

She then took the seat.

It was pin-drop silence in the hall. With their jaws dropping to the ground, the crowd stared at Shen Xi and tried to talk themselves out of the shock.

No way!

The joke was not even funny!

Was Shen Xi the mysterious and amazing Dr. Jiu Zhou?

The person who was shocked more than anyone else was Fu Qingxuan. Widening his eyes in disbelief, he stared at Shen Xi with doubt, surprise, and anger. That was right.

Anger. He was furious!

Fu Qingxuan had no idea that his little sister was Dr. Jiu Zhou! That was unbelievable of her!

In the face of questioning looks, Shen Xi said with a smile, “I should ask. Does Jiu Zhou have the right to sit here and participate in the conference?”

Her statement brought in more questions than answers.

“How can you prove that you’re Dr. Jiu Zhou?”

She could be an impostor for all they knew. Dr. Jiu Zhou was quite the mystery, and no one had actually met the doctor in person; even previous invitations to international medical conferences were ignored.

“Do you need to prove that you’re your father’s son or your son’s father?” Shen Xi replied with a question in a taunting manner. Her unhurried tone bore weight and authority. “D-Don’t change the subject and deflect the question!” The person turned flushed in rage. “You claim to be Dr. Jiu Zhou, but why should we take your word for it?” “You don’t have to take my word for it.” Shen Xi nonchalantly grinned. “You can choose to either believe it or not.”

Too livid to get a word out, the person was still hung up on the interrogation when someone nearby gave him a tug. What if Shen Xi was Dr. Jiu Zhou? They would only be embarrassing themselves.

They would soon find out whether she was Dr. Jiu Zhou either way. She would be proven wrong when the real Dr. Jiu Zhou emerged.

There was still a possibility that she was a fraud if no one came to prove her otherwise. She was young and ostentatious, an unfit match to Dr. Jiu Zhou’s profile who was rumored to keep a low profile and be indifferent to fame and fortune.

Besides, she was the young lady of the Fu family. Dr. Jiu Zhou had no care for vanity. There was still a chance that she was impersonating Dr. Jiu Zhou.

Whispers spread across the room but no one had the guts to mess with Shen Xi. They were waiting with bated breath for the real Dr. Jiu Zhou to make an appearance.

Fu Qingxuan pulled Shen Xi aside and sulkily asked, “How dare you!”

She… She was out of line!

He was her brother!

“You never asked me.” Shen Xi looked strangely at him. “Why did you look the way you did when you provided medical care to Mom?” Fu Qingxuan questioned in hushed tones.

“That’s makeup.” Shen Xi was forthcoming.

“Why did you feel a need to put on a disguise?” Fu Qingxuan’s feelings were hurt.

“Fu Qingli had a huge problem with me at the time. He hated me.” Shen Xi told the truth.

To be frank, had it not be because of Fu Qingli’s godd*mn attitude, she would not put on layers of makeup.

Shen Xi had been through a lot to avoid unnecessary trouble and get Fu Qingli off of her back about having an ulterior motive.

“Qingli’s outrageous! It’s all his fault.” Fu Qingxuan shifted his fury to Fu Qingli while feeling bad for Shen Xi.

“Yes.’ Shen Xi shared the sentiment.

“Um…” Fu Qingxuan paused before adding. “Do Qingli and the rest know about this?”

Qingli was the liaison in getting Dr. Jiu Zhou to attend the conference.

“Qingli knows about it, but the rest has no idea,” Shen Xi answered.

Fu Qingxuan felt so much better, having found out he was not the last person to know. However, why was the pain in the *ss, Qingli, the first to find out?

“When did Qingli find out?” Fu Qingxuan dropped another question.

“When I went to treat Mom.” Shen Xi took a deep breath.” I suspect Qingli has laser eyes. He sees through all my disguises with just one look.”

It was not that she was keeping it from Fu Qingxuan, but Fu Qingli was too witty to catch on to her meticulous disguises. She had to say, Fu Qingli had a gift.

Although Fu Qingxuan was sulky, Shen Xi gave him a reason to kick himself for failing as an older brother.

Sure, it was forgivable that he could not recognize his little sister through her disguise, but despite connecting with Shen Xi through telepathy, it took Fu Qingxuan some time to become aware of her. It was incompetence on his part.

Qingli was right. He was useless.

Shen Xi chatted with Fu Qingxuan, answering all his childish questions and doubts.

A middle-aged man, exuding a sage character, emerged from the back and stopped near Shen Xi. Looking down at her, he said politely, “Excuse me, Young Lady. This is my seat. Please move over.”
