Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn

Although Shen Xingsui had “confessed” to the older boy, there seemed to be no change in their relationship whatsoever. Sometimes when they met outside, Fu Jinxiao still treated Shen Xingsui indifferently, neither far nor close, keeping a distance.

All these changes happened when Shen Xingsui was in junior high school.

It was after New Year’s Eve, the Fu family held a banquet, and Fu Jinxiao’s stepmother also celebrated her birthday. Everyone was invited, including Shen Xingsui.

When he passed by, he happened to see Mr. Fu, his wife, and Fu Jinxiao who were all standing near the door in order to receive the guests. 

A guest said with a smile. “Madam and Mr. Fu are really talented and beautiful. It’s been a long time since I haven’t seen you all. Madam is still so young, and the little Young Master is alslo really good-looking and smart. What an enviable family, ah.” 

Mr. Fu also smiled and said, “Haha, you’re too polite. You have won the prize, and your daughter is not bad…”

They started to chat. 

The guest suddenly looked at Fu Jinxiao and said, “Why doesn’t Young Master Fu speak?”

Fu Jinxiao, who was standing beside him in a suit, raised his eyelids and gave him a cool look. 

The guest hadn’t reacted yet, and just smiled and said, “I’ve heard that Young Master Fu has both virtue and talent, and he is filial. You must have prepared some good gifts for your mother this time, right?”

Fu Jinxiao curled his lips down in a sneer. “You’ve heard a lot.”

The face of the guest changed, and Mr. Fu immediately scolded his son. “Jinxiao, how can you talk like that!”

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. Just when everyone was in a stalemate, a cheerful voice came from not far away. It was Shen Xingsui, who came blazing in like a small bullet. He waved his hands and said with a smile, “Uncle Fu!”

Everyone was distracted by him.

It was Xu Enzhen and Shen Yong who brought the children. Shen Xingsui was always liked by the elders. He walked over and said sweetly, “Happy birthday, Aunt Li Na, the dress you are wearing today is so beautiful.”

Li Na was elated, “Really?”

Shen Xingsui nodded seriously.

The Shen family’s arrival completely relieved the embarrassment. Li Na said with a smile, finally able to ease the atmosphere. “I’m glad you can come. Go in quickly, there is a lot of food prepared inside, you have fun.”

Shen Xingchen said, “Really? Great! I’ve been hungry all afternoon.”

Xu Enzhen glared at him. “Xingchen, you just gained two catties this week. The suit we made for this year is almost too tight on you.” 

Shen Xingchen was unconvinced. “Mom! I’m still growing up! Don’t talk nonsense, I am not fat!” 

They bickered, while Shen Xingsui raised his face to look at Fu Jinxiao. They were enrolled in the same elevator school, but because it was on a different campus, they rarely met. It’s been quite a long time since they actually met. 

Fu Jinxiao slightly moved his eyes over, and then glanced aside. 

Shen Xingsui didn’t care. He gave him a bright smile and followed his family inside.

There were many people invited to this banquet, and many ladies and young masters also went. On the lakeside behind the mansion, this group of juniors gathered around and started chatting:

“The Fu family’s riches are truly on another level…” 

“I agree…” 

“Did you see Mr. Fu and Mrs. Fu when you came in today? Also, Fu Jinxiao’s complexion is not very good.”

“That’s only natural, she’s his stepmother, after all.” 

“His biological mother is long dead.”

“You really dare to say it, but it’s no wonder he looks weird and gloomy at ordinary times. As expected, a child without a mother is…”

They were standing in the garden, gossiping among themselves. Suddenly, the automatic sprinkler machine in the grass was activated somehow, and it sprayed them all, drenching their body and expensive clothing with water. 

They screamed in shock. 

A sharp-eyed youth saw Shen Xingsui behind him and said, “You… you kid, what are you doing? Did you turn on the sprinkler switch here?”

Shen Xingsui stood on the path next to him. He looked righteous. “So what if it’s me?”

Another young teenager roared angrily. “Aren’t you Shen Xingsui? Watch out, I’m going to tell Boss Shen later – no, I’m going to find Mr. Fu and tell him! You’re so lacking in education and manners, I will tell everyone what a shitty boy you are!” 

Shen Xingsui was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he upturned his nose and put his hand on his waist. “Oh, so I am the bad boy. Then what about you? You think it’s fine to speak ill behind someone’s back like that? Are you going to tell Mr. Fu? Then I will tell him about what you said about his son too!” 

Several people were aggressive at first, but after hearing Shen Xingsui’s words, they were all scared.

They didn’t expect Shen Xingsui to hear what they were saying. One of them got awfully defensive. “How dare you!”

There were still wise people, and a young lady quickly pleaded, “Suisui, please don’t tell Mr. Fu! We know we are wrong, we will not do this ever again! I promise, so please don’t tell him, okay?” 

The Fu family was vast in opportunity and riches. If they are found out and get hated by them, wouldn’t they just sabotage their family’s future prospects in collaborating with them? 

It’s better to hold their head down and swallow their anger. If Young Master Fu knew… well, nobody here wanted to make an enemy out of him – they were all actually afraid of him. 

Shen Xingsui said, “Then you guys apologize and promise not to say anything again.”

Several people immediately agreed.

“I will apologize…”

“I’m wrong.”

“I won’t do it again.” 

Shen Xingsui is not the kind of person who will care about every detail. “Okay, then will you still tattle about me, then?”

Everyone shook their heads. What a joke, how dare they tattle? They are the one who’s lucky that Shen Xingsui won’t tattle on them! 

Shen Xingsui let out a soft snort then waited for them to leave. He turned around, but met Fu Jinxiao. Somehow, the older boy actually stood on the nearby pavilion, watching over them. 

Shen Xingsui was a little surprised. “Why are you here?”

Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows and asked back, “Can’t I be here?”

“No, no,” Shen Xingsui scratched his head. “I thought you would entertain guests in the front. There is nothing to do here.” 

–The reason why Shen Xingsui came here was because there was a toilet farther away, because the toilet inside the hall was full.

Fu Jinxiao glanced at him and asked, “Are you hungry?”

Shen Xingsui nodded.

Fu Jinxiao took a step, placing himself in front of the younger boy. “I’ll take you to the buffet.”

Shen Xingsui smiled. “Okay, the rice cooked by the chef here is delicious. While I like the pastries here, I still want to eat rice.” 

Fu Jinxiao nodded. “I’ll ask the chef to cook a meal for you alone.”

“Really?!” Shen Xingsui didn’t expect to be treated like this. He was a little flattered, and approached him with a thousand-watt smile. “Why are you treating me so well?”

Fu Jinxiao lowered his eyes and didn’t answer.

Shen Xingsui’s ego grew. “Do you like me too?”

Fu Jinxiao turned his face away. There was no expression on the boy’s face, as all his emotions were buried in his heart. He deepened his voice, trying to sound domineering. “Aren’t you thinking too much?”

Shen Xingsui was stunned. “Ah!”

“If you go back and tell others that you don’t have enough to eat, where will the Fu family’s face be?” Fu Jinxiao glanced at him lightly, trying his best to give a sound reason. “What will others think then?”

“……”

‘Alright then, whatever you say.’
