While Guan Lei was indulging in his imagination, he suddenly felt a chill on his forehead. He was so scared that he kicked Xue Li to the ground.
“Aiyo, Young Master, why did you kick me?” Xue Li covered his aching butt and wailed.
When Guan Lei heard that it was Xue Li, he thought of Shen Xi who was taking a shower on the other end of the phone. He quickly hung up the phone and asked with a red face, “Why didn’t you knock?”
“Young Master,” Xue Li said with an innocent look, “l kept knocking on the door, but you didn’t reply. I thought something happened to you. But when I came in, I saw your face burning up. 1 thought you were sick, so I wanted to take your temperature.”
Guan Lei coughed awkwardly and said, “I’m fine. Why are you here?”
Xue Li got up from the ground and then remembered to report, “Young Master, well, the Old Master asked Lei Feng to arrange a large-scale blind date party for you called the Spring Banquet. I think you should know about it. ”
“What?” Guan Lei widened his eyes in shock.
He hadn’t even made any progress with Xi, and his grandfather was already here to ruin it?
If Xi found out that he was actually going on a blind date with someone else, if Shen and Lu’s families found out about this blind date, wouldn’t he be finished?
However, news of this spread quickly. Shen Xi had just finished showering when Lu Shan knocked on the door and entered.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Shen Xi asked Lu Shan, who had a serious expression on her face.
Lu Shan exhaled with a solemn expression and said, “There’s something I think you should know.”
Shen Xi looked at her mother’s serious expression and smiled in confusion. “What is it? What actually made mother unhappy?”
“The Guan family is going to hold a spring banquet in a few days. Almost all single girls of the right age in Beijing have received an invitation. I heard that they are going to use this banquet to find a wife for Guan Lei. Even though they had invited some young masters of the aristocratic families, it was a large-scale blind date banquet for Guan Lei alone.” Lu Shan snapped.
Lu Shan didn’t mind Guan Lei finding someone else to get married on a blind date, but she was furious. Guan Lei was pestering her daughter while he was setting up blind dates in a big way.
Shen Xi was slightly stunned before she smiled and said, “Mom, what’s there to be angry about? Guan Lei was single now. Wasn’t it quite normal for him to have such a banquet? It has nothing to do with us. Why are you angry?”
Lu Shan looked at Shen Xi suspiciously and asked in a suspicious tone, “Do you really think so?”
Shen Xi shrugged her shoulders naturally and nodded. “Yeah, that’s what I think. ”
However, the moment Shen Xi saw Guan Lei’s voice call request, she secretly rejected it.
Lu Shan looked at Shen Xi’s expression and saw that there was nothing unusual. She then heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Yes, it has nothing to do with us. Xi, mother know you don’t like Little Yu yet. I’m not forcing you to like Little Yu or be with him.”
“If you can find someone you like in the future,” Lu Shan said earnestly, “Mother will agree, but it can’t be Guan Lei. Mother doesn’t want someone who abandoned you to abandon you again. I still remember how pale you looked when you were sent to the hospital that day. Mother couldn’t forgive Guan Lei for hurting you.”
Shen Xi sighed slightly. She hugged Lu Shan, whose eyes were red, and comforted her silently.
Shen Xi knew that Lu Shan was doing this for her own good. However, it was hard to tell when it came to relationships. Guan Lei had always been in her heart. She could not lie to herself about this.
After sending Lu Shan off, Shen Xi sneered at the voice call request that had lit up her phone screen again, and then swiftly rejected it.
How could she not be angry? Shen Xi was furious.
However, Shen Xi knew very well that Guan Lei definitely did not know about
With Guan Lei’s personality, he wouldn’t flirt with her while looking for a future wife for himself.
However, she still had to be angry.
Guan Lei, who was rejected again, almost cried. He was now 100% sure that Shen Xi must have found out about the blind date banquet.
Guan Lei quickly sent a message, [Xi, it wasn’t me who organised that blind date. It was my grandfather. Don’t believe it. I really didn’t want to go.]
Guan Lei anxiously waited for Shen Xi’s reply, but the message he sent was like a stone sinking into the sea. He did not receive any reply..
