Now, it seemed that it was possible that Guan Lei was Young Master Guan, and the reason why Jiang Xue recognized the wrong person was that someone had pretended to be Young Master Guan at that time. And that person was Guan Bo mentioned in the news?
Shen Xi didn’t know much about the Guan family in Beijing. If Guan Lei was Young Master Guan, then Meng Yu was Master Guan’s illegitimate son.
Shen Xi looked up at Shen Yan and Lu Shan and asked, “Do you know that the Old Master Guan has an illegitimate son?
“I don’t know about that.” Lu Shan shook her head in confusion. That was impossible, right? Xi, where did you hear that?”
Shen Yan frowned and said, “I’ve heard of it, but it’s said to be fake. Old Master
Guan had always been a righteous and honest man.”
“Oh, I also heard some rumors. Dad, do you know why the Guan family is hunting Meng Yu?” Shen Xi asked.
Guan Lei told her that the Guan family had a conflict with Meng Yu because Meng Yu was the illegitimate son of the Old Master Guan. He tried to steal the family property and killed Guan Lei’s brother. Therefore, the Guan family wanted to kill Meng Yu.
Could it be that Meng Yu was the murderer who killed Guan Lei’s brother, so the Guan family wanted to kill him?
As expected, Shen Yan immediately gave an affirmative answer. “I also found out a little when I was investigating Meng Yu. It was said that Meng Yu was related to the death of the Guan family’s eldest young master ten years ago. However, they weren’t sure, because they heard that Old Master Guan had refuted the rumor. It was said that he would not frame Guan Miao’s death on an innocent person. He even threatened to protect Meng Yu, who was also a victim, because he was someone his grandson had saved.”
Shen Xi’s brain was working quickly. She didn’t think Guan Lei would spout nonsense. So n.o.body knew that Meng Yu was Old Master Guan’s illegitimate son?
“Old Master Guan is righteous indeed,” Lu Shan said. “He doesn’t use his power to bully others. Even if his grandson died, he would not vent his anger on unrelated people. If Master Guan didn’t keep him in check, Meng Yu would have died ten years ago.”
Shen Xi clicked her tongue in his heart. Many people did not understand the truth.
If people knew that Meng Yu was Old Master Guan’s illegitimate son, Beijing would explode.
There was too much news, and Shen Xi’s brain could not react in time. She could only say to her parents, “Okay, I’ll take the guards. Dad, Mom, you can arrange these bodyguards. I’m a little fl.u.s.tered now and need to think about it alone.”
Shen Yan and Lu Shan looked at each other and then watched as Shen Xi returned to his bedroom with a heavy heart.
Shen Xi picked up her phone and wanted to ask Guan Lei about it. However, when she thought of the old madam’s att.i.tude before, she felt uncertain. She could only sigh and put down her phone.
Shen Xi could understand why Guan Lei had concealed his ident.i.ty. She could even understand why Guan Lei had concealed his ident.i.ty from Meng Yu.
Shen Xi remembered that she had told Guan Lei that she was looking for someone very important.
Meng Yu could be considered Guan Lei’s enemy. It was understandable that Guan Lei did not want her to find Meng Yu and stand against him.
But what should she do in the future?
Guan Lei looked at his phone several times but still did not receive any messages. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was injured and missing. Would Shen Xi not care?
From the moment he returned home to now, he had not received a single call from Shen Xi, not even a single text message.
Guan Lei coughed and called Xue Li in. He asked, “Did anyone call you looking for me while you were back?”
Xue Li tilted his head and thought for a while, then said honestly, “No, I didn’t. Does Young Master Truly have something to tell me?
Guan Lei suddenly became angry and shouted, “No, I’m resting for the next few days. No matter what, don’t disturb me. Especially when it comes to Shen Xi, don’t tell me anything.”
Xue Li was angered by Guan Lei’s bafflement. He pursed his lips and said in a wronged tone, “Alright, I know.”
Watching Xue Li leave, Guan Lei turned off his cell phone, which had been silent for a long time. Then, he lay on his stomach and covered his head with a pillow.
Xue Li, who had just gone down the stairs and returned, looked at Guan Lei’s current appearance and then at the message from Shen Xi on his phone. He pondered for a moment and then closed the door quietly.
Shen Xi said, “Xue Li, is Guan Lei feeling better? I just made a few calls, but his phone was switched off.”
Xue Li replied, “He is much better. He was angry just now. I think he needs some peace now, so he turned off the phone..”
