Guan Lei looked up at Ye Long with determination in his eyes. “No matter what Shen Xi says, I hope that you won’t hurt her.”
Su Han said resentfully, “Lei ‘er, the Shen and Gu family are clearly on the same side as the Gu family now. They are supporting Meng Yu together. You didn’t even think about what would happen if our Guan family fought against the three big families. You only think about Shen Xi, you…”
Su Han was angry, but when she saw Guan Lei’s pale face, she couldn’t say anything.
“Alright, I promise you. Just rest assured and recuperate. Don’t worry about anything else.” Ye Long compromised.
Guan Lei lay down with a tired face as he watched the door close gently.
Thinking back to what Shen Xi had said at the bottom of the cliff, that she wanted to be his girlfriend, Guan Lei’s heart ached. Everything was about to get better, and what he wanted was almost in his hands, so why did Xi abandon him to find Meng Yu?
Even if he had lied to her, Shen Xi was the one who had said that she would be his girlfriend. She was the one who had said that she would not leave him. Why could she abandon her boyfriend and find someone else so naturally? Could it be that Meng Yu, Shen Xi could break her promise so casually and ignore the fact that Meng Yu had deliberately let go and not saved her?
Meng Yu fell into his thoughts and was unable to extricate himself.
At this moment, Shen Xi was puzzled. Guan Lei left without saying goodbye.
Could it be that Guan Lei’s grandmother still suspected that she and Meng Yu were trying to hurt Guan Lei, so she didn’t allow Guan Lei to stay with her? If that were the case, then it would indeed be a little difficult.
Shen Xi had never thought that she would have to agree to be together with Guan Lei just now, and in the end, such a thing would happen.
“Xi? Xi! What are you daydreaming about?” Lu Shan shouted.
Shen Xi came back to her senses and looked at the row of people standing in front of her. She then remembered that her parents were asking her to choose a few suitable bodyguards. She was thinking about Guan Lei just now and was engrossed in it.
“Xi, which ones do you think are suitable? Later on, I’ll train a guard team for you. In the future, you’ll have your strength.” Shen Yan looked at Shen Xi and said.
Shen Xi frowned slightly and said helplessly, “Dad, Mom, just a few bodyguards will do. There’s no need for a guard team, right?”
In Shen Xi’s eyes, wasn’t it too extravagant to train a guard team for her? Besides, what era was this? There were guards?
Lu Shan glared at Shen Xi and said, “Of course. Which of the legitimate descendants of the four major families in Beijing did not have their strength? You’re the heir of our Shen and Lu families. You’ll encounter many things in the future. Guard team is necessary.”
“Didn’t you say that you were looking for that Meng Yu?” Shen Yan chimed in. I just went to find out more about Meng Yu. If you insist on protecting him, you must have a guard team. Otherwise, how could you protect someone who was being hunted by the Guan family?”
Although Shen Yan did not want Shen Xi to get involved in the Guan family’s troubles, Shen Xi insisted that as a father, he could only do his best to give his daughter the most comprehensive protection.
The Guan family’s people? Lu Shan’s eyes suddenly widened. She looked at Shen Yan and asked, “Hubby, you said that Meng Yu is the one the Guan family is after? Which Guan family?”
Shen Yan blurted out, “Of course, it’s the Guan family of Beijing. Who else could it be?”
Not only Lu Shan but even Shen Xi looked at Shen Yan in surprise.
“No wonder I thought Guan Lei’s grandmother looked so familiar. So she’s the old Madam of the Guan family in Beijing, Ye Long?” Lu Shan suddenly realized.
“More than ten years had passed, and she had aged so much that I almost couldn’t recognize her.”
Shen Xi was dumbfounded and asked in disbelief, “The old Madam of the Guan family in Beijing? Is it the Guan family of Beijing, the head of the four big families?
Lu Shan nodded naturally. “Yes, that Guan family.”
Shen Xi fell silent. The ones who were chasing after Meng Yu were the Guan family in Beijing. Guan Lei’s grandmother was the old Madam of the Guan family, and Young Master Guan was also called Guan Lei. So, Guan Lei was very likely to be Young Master Guan?
However, she had seen Young Master Guan before. She was at Old Master Guan’s birthday party when she had a video call with Guan Lei. He couldn’t be the same person!
Wait, wasn’t there a news report about Jiang Xue mistaking someone else for someone else? At that time, Shen Xi thought that Jiang Xue would mistake him for someone else because Young Master Guan had never let anyone see his appearance..
