Ye Nan’s face darkened. The two dance songs today were not the ones that the planner had submitted at the beginning. It was a business ball, but it was turned into a social ball. This made Ye Nan feel a little embarra.s.sed.
She didn’t expect that influential people of the Gu family and the Guan family would come today. She had embarra.s.sed herself in front of the four great families.
After the dance, Guan Lei came to Lu Shan’s side nervously and said weakly and politely, “h.e.l.lo, auntie!”
Lu Shan snorted and said in a neutral tone, “It’s better if 1 don’t see you.” Guan Lei choked on Lu Shan’s words.
Four years ago, Lu Shan was still soft and easy to talk to. Unexpectedly, four years later, the first thing he said to Lu Shan would be directly stabbed in the back by her.
“Xi, let’s go back!” Lu Shan pulled Shen Xi out.
Guan Lei quickly chased after them and fawned over Lu Shan and Shen Xi. “Auntie, let me send you back!”
“There’s no need. We Shen and Lu family don’t lack any drivers or cars. I don’t need your Guan family to be hypocritical.” Lu Shan said bluntly.
“Then… Auntie, can you send me? I don’t have a car or a driver.” Guan Lei changed the topic from offering help to asking for help.
Lu Shan widened her eyes in disbelief at Guan Lei. How could this child speak so inappropriately?
Shen Xi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Guan Lei instantly realized what he had just said. His face turned red and he stammered, “Auntie… I didn’t mean it that way… I just…”
Lu Shan pulled Shen Xi and left, leaving Guan Lei behind looking at their backs and sighing internally.
When Gu Chen saw this scene, his gloomy mood was relieved. It seemed that Guan Lei was not very popular either. Thinking about it, he felt better.
Shen Yan, who was at home, saw Lu Shan’s serious expression and immediately went forward to ask, “What’s wrong, baby? Are you in a bad mood?”
Lu Shan snorted. “That Guan Lei is still lingering around Xi.”
At this point, Lu Shan turned to Shen Xi and asked worriedly, “Xi, what are you thinking? Do you still want to be with Guan Lei?”
Shen Yan also looked at Shen Xi, waiting for her answer.
Shen Xi sighed slightly, then nodded slightly under her parents’ gaze,
“Maybe.”
Lu Shan instantly shrugged her shoulders and said earnestly, “Xi, your father and I never wanted to interfere with your relationship. But the Guan family and Guan Lei are not suitable for you.”
Shen Yan also said with a melancholic expression, “The Guan family is an old-fashioned aristocratic family. Their relationship is complicated. We don’t want you to suffer in the family. Besides, your mom is right. Guan Lei is not suitable for you. Four years ago, he broke up with you without a reason. If such a thing can happen the first time, it will happen a second time. We don’t want you to experience that kind of pain again.”
“Xi, your father is right. For a family like the Guan Family, if Guan Lei couldn’t trust you fully and stand by your side with a strong will, and instead doubted you and abandoned you because of some groundless things, what would you do in the future? Are you going to face such a big family alone?” Lu Shan said worriedly.
“Xi, have you ever thought about the consequences of the Guan family and the Shen and Lu families coming together? I am really worried that the Guan family is planning to use your marriage to acquire the Shen and Lu families.”
Shen Yan continued.
“l don’t think that’s the plan for Guan Lei.” Shen Xi said.
“Yes, maybe Guan Lei doesn’t have such an intention, but what about the family behind Guan Lei? The Shen and Lu families have huge a.s.sets here. Once the Guan family uses Guan Lei to manipulate you, do you think they will let go of the benefits that are already within their reach? Xixi, we are just afraid that we won’t be able to protect you after a hundred years if Guan Lei is not on your side but the side of the family behind him” Lu Shan persuaded.
“Xi, whether it’s the Shen family or the Lu family, the current large corporation was based on the hard work of several generations. We don’t want a day when the Guan family got a hold on you, causing many people in the Shen and Lu families to lose their jobs, allowing the Guan family to stand above them.”Shen Yan said earnestly.
Shen Xi’s heart started to feel frustrated.
She knew that what her parents said was not without reason. As two of the four aristocratic families in Beijing, the combined a.s.sets of the two families could be said to be astronomical.
With such monstrous wealth, wouldn’t the people behind the Guan family be
jealous?
