Shen Xi frowned and quickly said, “This matter is also my fault. I didn’t make it clear. I don’t blame you, really.”
However, no matter what Shen Xi said, Guan Lei could not hear it.
Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi’s mouth and said, “Xi, don’t speak. I can’t hear you.
I was afraid that you would blame me. I was afraid that you would say that you hated me, so I muted it.”
Shen Xi’s eyes instantly widened as she looked at the screen. She could not help but curse, “Guan Lei, are you an idiot?”
Guan Lei saw that Shen Xi’s emotions had suddenly risen and felt very sad. He then continued, “So Xi, it’s not wrong for you to protect the people you think are important. It’s not wrong for you to protect Meng Yu. However, since you have Meng Yu in your heart, then I don’t want to interfere. I hope you can live a happy life.”
“Happiness your head! Guan Lei, are you crazy?” Shen Xi was so angry that she cursed. All the cultivation she had in her life had disappeared without a trace at this moment. Shen Xi only wanted to curse.
Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi and was slightly stunned. Why did he feel like Xi was throwing a tantrum and scolding people?
Seeing Shen Xi finally stop glaring at the screen, Guan Lei continued, “Actually, there’s something I want to tell you. The Guan family and the Gu family have a feud. That day at Gu Chen’s birthday party, he gave me a choice between your safety and my grandfather’s innocence. I chose my grandfather and left you alone with my enemy. I’m sorry!’
Guan Lei’s eyes turned red as he continued to repent, “I knew that Gu Chen might harm you because of the Guan family, but I still left you there. I’m sorry! I really don’t deserve you like this. Of course, you probably don’t like me as much as you like Meng Yu.”
Guan Lei’s face was full of guilt and self-mockery. “Presumably, if it was Meng Yu, he would definitely protect you, right? Don’t worry, if you’re with him, I’ll do my best to protect him. I’ll make sure that you and the person you like are safe, and that the two of you are safe.”
Shen Xi was so angry that she gritted her teeth and cursed at the screen, “Self-righteous idiot.” Then, her eyes suddenly turned red and she stared at Guan Lei on the screen. It was as if she wanted to glare at the person in the video to calm her anger.
She was the one who was deceived and thrown into a dangerous situation. She did not say anything, so what right did Guan Lei, the culprit, have to say that they were separated? What right did he have to question her feelings for him?
She could forgive Guan Lei for lying to her about Meng Yu’s existence, and she could also forgive Guan Lei for choosing his family. However, she could not forgive Guan Lei for saying that she did not like him.
Shen Xi smashed the phone at the screen. The screen shattered, and so did the phone.
Guan Lei and Xue Li were both shocked.
The connection was cut off. Guan Lei quickly looked at the surveillance camera beside him. He was only relieved when he saw that Shen Xi was fine.
Xue Li quickly ran to Shen Xi’s room, looked at the smashed TV screen, and
voiced out carefully, “Ms. Shen Xi…”
Shen Xi’s eyes turned red. She pushed Li Xue away and wanted to rush into the room next door, but she was stopped by the bodyguards at the door.
At this moment, at the end of the corridor, Li Jin suddenly appeared with Su Han and Guan Yan. The bodyguards quickly made way for them. Shen Luan and Lu Fei saw that something was wrong and quickly followed, but they faced the bodyguards.
Su Han looked at the two people who were about to fight and turned to Shen Xi. “Why? Is Ms. Shen going to make a move on someone else’s territory? Is this the upbringing of the Shen and Lu families?
Inside, Guan Lei heard Su Han’s voice and immediately opened the door. He pulled Su Han and said, “Mom, don’t worry about this.”
“I don’t care? Are we going to let a woman who took the initiative to come to our door ruin our Guan family’s reputation?” Su Han’s words were sharp and mean. She hated Shen Xi for speaking up for Meng Yu.
Guan Yan felt that his wife’s words were indeed a little overboard. He quickly pulled his wife back and gestured for her to speak less.
Guan Lei didn’t dare to look Shen Xi in the eye. He just said to Shen Xi, “Xi) you can go back.”
Shen Xi did not say anything. She just looked at Guan Lei coldly.
Su Han snorted coldly. “I’m sorry, but my Guan family doesn’t want people who are too proactive.”
“Mom! Don’t say anymore.” Guan Lei raised his voice angrily.
How could his Xi take such embarrassing words? Sure enough, when Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi, Shen Xi’s eyes were bloodshot and she looked like something was wrong..
