Chapter 337 - Kneel and Beg Me
Rebirth from the Ashes
Su Mushi took his phone and rushed out. When he came to a secluded corner, he answered the call with a lowered voice, âSecond Brother.â
Su Muyanâs voice was also laced with panic. âThis matter canât be hidden any longer. How do you plan to solve it? Itâs so much money. Even if weâre to sell ourselves, we canât afford to pay them. Dad will know about it soon.â
Su Mushiâs mind was in a mess. He tried to keep himself alert and had a gloomy look in his eyes. âSecond Brother, please help me⦠I beg you! You canât tell Dad now. Please just help me once more!â
Su Muyan could barely keep himself afloat. This was Su Mushiâs idea in the first place, but now he had to clean up the mess. âThird Brother, I checked the people who won the bet. Theyâre from your school, so maybe you can start with them.â
Suddenly, Su Mushiâs eyes looked fierce. He gritted his teeth and asked, âItâs Shen Xi, right? Itâs that brat, isnât it?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Muyan could hear the hatred his brother had for Shen Xi. He said in a deep voice, âShe cheated Dadâs money to pay off her adoptive fatherâs debts, so how would she get any money to place the bet?â
âSecond Brother, who is it then?â Su Mushi was so anxious that he was sweating.
âWhoâs messing with me? Who else in school would do this besides Shen Xi? Is it Yu Qiubai again?â
âIt does have something to do with Shen Xi.â Su Muyan paused and said, âItâs the International Class in your school, led by Pei Xu and Song Wenye.â
Since they would have to deposit the money to the winner, they needed to know their bank details. A simple check led him to No. 4 High Schoolâs International Class.
Shen Xi was placed in the International Class, so she might have been behind this.
Su Mushiâs eyes were filled with hatred. His expression became fiercer and more threatening as he said, âSecond Brother, Iâll take care of it. Just help me hide it from Dad first.â
He really underestimated this little b*tch Shen Xi. She was clearly forcing him to the edge of a cliff!
Su Mushi was wondering who would bet so much money and choose the obvious unlikely option. It turned out that it was that bunch of lunatics from the International Class.
The International Class banded together to raise money and bet more than 30 million yuan. That was doable. After all, although their grades were lousy, their families were rich.
Su Ruowan only saw Su Mushi answering the phone and running off with a murderous vibe.
Yu Qiubai smirked with interest as he watched Su Mushi run down the stairs. He got up and followed him.
Pei Xu just got out of the bathroom when he was stopped. He yelled, âF*ck, get out of my way!â
Su Mushi looked at him and said, âPei Xu, I need to talk to you about something.â
Pei Xu casually ripped open the wrapper of a lollipop and stuck it in his mouth. He looked askance at Su Mushi. âGet lost. I have nothing to say to you.â
Su Mushi tried to suppress the anger in his heart, knowing that he could not be pushed to the edge. He lowered his voice. âItâs about the bet. I know you guys bet a lot of money.â
Pei Xu raised his eyebrows and let out an unruly and arrogant sneer. âYour family has no money? What, do you wanna renege on your bet?â
Su Mushiâs eyes turned dark. âLetâs talk somewhere else.â
Pei Xu did not mind it and followed Su Mushi to the rooftop. âSo⦠What do you want to say? If your family wants to Welsh on the bet, donât blame me for going against you.â
Su Mushi looked at him. âPei Xu, this is all my fault. My father doesnât know about it, so I hope you wonât make a big deal out of it.â
âThen what do you want?â Pei Xu leaned lazily on the railing.
Su Mushi replied, âAs you know, private betting and gambling is against the law, so it has no legal effect. Iâll return your principle and double it, then letâs just forget about this.â
âYou treat me like a bum, donât you? Who the hell lacks that kind of money? Your family is such a scum! You only want to win and donât wanna admit it when you lose?â Pei Xu looked at him funny. âIf I lost and asked you to get my principal back, would you give it to me?â
âF*ck! The Su family is really planning to go back on their bet!â
âIâm not saying I wonât give it.â Su Mushi was here to beg Pei Xu, so he was humble. He swore that he would never touch this kind of thing again. âPei Xu, think about it. If this gets out, it wouldnât be good for anyone. Weâre all seniors, so if this gambling thing gets out, itâll be a stain on your record. No school would accept you then.â
Pei Xu sneered and threw his lollipop angrily. âSo what youâre saying is that your family wants to back out from this bet?! You can try. Iâm not afraid of anyone and will fight till the end!â
âYou can fight, but what about the rest of your class?â Su Mushi knew that Pei Xu valued camaraderie, so he picked on Pei Xuâs weakness to persuade him. âThey need to continue their studies, so are you going to drag them into this?â
âThis little b*tch Shen Xi set me up and trapped me. Itâs good enough now that Iâm paying them double!â
They were all seniors and would soon be taking the college entrance exams. If this gambling was exposed, it would have a big impact on all of them.
Pei Xu laughed mockingly. âSu Mushi, whatever they wanna do is their business. I wonât force them, but youâd better transfer me the money. If you donât, I donât mind making this big and weâll see which one of us will have more to lose.â
He thought, âI donât give a damn!â
Su Mushi saw that Pei Xu was adamant and started to panic. âPei Xu, then whatâs your price? How much do you want?â
Pei Xu did not bother talking to him and turned to leave. âHowever much is owed to me. If you dare shortchange me, Iâll give your family a taste of a sinful payback.â
Su Mushi saw him leaving and called out to him as hatred surged in his eyes. âPei Xu, give me a few days since weâre classmates!â
He would need some time to think of a solution.
Pei Xu turned around and gave him a nonchalant glance. âBeg me.â
Su Mushiâs eyes flickered. He clenched his fists tightly. If it was possible, he really wanted to kill Pei Xu and kill all those who were in his way.
Pei Xu raised his eyebrows arrogantly. âI told you to kneel and beg me!â
âPei Xu, I beg you. Please donât make a big deal out of this matter. Give me three days, and Iâll give you a satisfactory answer.â Su Mushi knelt in front of Pei Xu, trying to resist the urge to kill. He had endured enough humiliation, so what else could he not do?
Pei Xu was stubborn, so Su Mushi thought that he would start with Shen Xi since she was definitely the mastermind behind this. The people she cared most about were her adoptive parents.
