“Auntie, I won’t lie.” Guan Lei panicked.”
Shen Xi sighed, while Guan Lei told Shen Yan and Lu Shan everything from the beginning to the end.
Lu Shan was so angry that her face turned pale and the orange in her hand was crushed. Shen Yan was also so angry that his forehead was throbbing and his veins were popping out.
Lu Shan sneered and said angrily, “Guan family? It’s useless even if the Gu family and the Guan family work together to protect her. She’s simply going too far. Hubby, I’m too angry.”
Guan Lei’s scalp instantly went numb. It was urgent to draw a clear line with Jiang Xue.
Otherwise, even if he revealed his identity in the future, even if the Shen family knew that he and Jiang Xue did not have that kind of relationship, just the Guan family was protecting Jiang Xue’s gossip now. Guan Lei felt that he would be coldly reprimanded by Shen Yan and his wife.
Perhaps they would directly disagree with him being with Shen Xi. After all, he was the real Young Master Guan. He knew that Jiang Xue was bullying Shen Xi, but he still tacitly agreed. He would not be blamed.
Lu Shan looked at Shen Xi and her eyes suddenly turned red. She said in a choked voice,” X, I’m sorry. I didn’t take it to heart when I heard you say that Jiang Xue bullied you last time. She was still thinking about their past relationship. I did not expect her to be so vicious.”
Shen Xi looked at Lu Shan and could not bear to see her. She knew that Lu Shan had a pure and innocent nature. How could she have thought of so many evil things that exceeded her expectations?
Shen Xi hugged Lu Shan with her left hand and comforted her, “Mom, you don’t have to blame yourself. The hearts of the people in this world are sinister and unpredictable. It’s not your fault. Besides Jiang Xue’s little tricks and conspiracies can’t defeat your daughter’s big conspiracy that represents justice.”
Lu Shan was amused by Shen Xi’s loud tone. She pulled Shen Yan and said, “Let’s go, hubby. Let’s go do what we have to do.”
Shen Yan nodded in understanding.
Shen Xi was a little worried. She frowned and quickly said, “Dad, Mom, you…”
Shen Yan interrupted Shen Xi and said, “Don’t worry. We grew up in Beijing too.”
Shen Xi still wanted to stop him, but Guan Lei directly pulled Shen Xi back and said, “Uncle, Auntie, you guys go ahead. I’ll take care of Xi.”
Shen Yan said to Guan Lei, “Then I’ll have to trouble you. When you go back later, send us a message to tell us that you’re safe.”
Guan Lei hurriedly nodded. The few of them directly ignored Shen Xi and reached an agreement.
Watching Shen Yan leave, Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei with a bit of disapproval. Even if Shen Xi knew that she had the Shen and Lu families backing her, she would not involve themselves if she could. The Guan family was big, a family that integrated politics and business. It was not that easy to deal with.
Guan Lei knew Shen Xi’s concerns and quickly said, “Don’t worry, the Guan family won’t stand up for a small matter like this. Besides, Jiang Xue was still suspected of plagiarism. The old master of the Guan family was a painting enthusiast, so he must have known about this. Therefore, he might not help Jiang Xue. Don’t worry.”
Shen Xi thought about it and agreed. Perhaps she was thinking too much and was too cautious.
However, Shen Xi knew that she could not afford to gamble. She did not want to experience the feeling of losing her loved ones again. It was too painful.
Suddenly, there was the sound of hunger coming from her stomach. Shen Xi instantly felt awkward. She had not eaten dinner yet and Jiang Xue had already come. She had been tormented at the hospital and had not eaten yet.
Guan Lei instantly laughed and teased, “Ah, my Xi’s stomach is growling. Are you hungry?”
Shen Xi hit Guan Lei’s chest a few times and said angrily, “You know. Go buy me dinner. If I’m starving, you won’t have Xi.”
Guan Lei patted Shen Xi’s head lovingly and then said in a good mood, “Alright, I’ll order now. We’ll eat here before going back.”
Shen Xi happily nodded her head in a bid to get rid of that cute energy, causing Guan Lei to be unable to resist and lightly pinch Shen Xi’s cute cheek twice.
The takeout was delivered by Xue Li. Shen Xi looked at Xue Li and greeted him warmly, “Brother Xue, sorry to trouble you.”
“It’s no trouble at all. It’s what I should do,” Xue Li waved his hand in fear. Then, he tactfully went out, closed the door, and stood guard outside.
Initially, Shen Xi did not need to be hospitalized for a minor injury like this. Guan Lei said that it was not convenient for her to eat, so he insisted on renting a high-end ward for the night. Shen Xi could not refuse, so she could only let Guan Lei go..
