Chapter 126 - 126 Unpredictable
126 Unpredictable
Jiang Xue didn’t care about what punishment Su Ni would receive. As long as Shen Xi wasn’t having a good time, it was something that she, Jiang Xue, was happy to hear.
Shen Xi smiled and said, “These words suit you as well, Jiang Xue!”
Jiang Xue, who was in a good mood, directly ignored the thorns within Shen Xi’s words and beautifully placed a mask on her face.
Originally, Shen Xi had agreed with her parents that she would go home the following day for the first semester weekend. However, because of the scar on her face, Shen Xi could only tell her parents that there was a weekend training session for the physics compet.i.tion. Hence, she did not go back and planned to make do in the dormitory during the weekend.
Lu Shan naturally cried and said a lot of things. In the end, Shen Yan persuaded her for a long time before she stopped crying.
On the other hand, Lu Lin found out that Su Ni not only published the news that Shen Xi and Zhao Yuan were extreme fans, she even sold private photos of Lu Lin to earn money.
Lu Lin directly sued Su Ni for violating his privacy and portrait rights.
Since someone had already punished Su Ni’s family, he would punish Su Ni, the fish that escaped the net.
This weekend, the entire Su family was in chaos. Not only had their business plummeted, but they were also entangled in various lawsuits.
When Xue Li arrived at Guan Lei’s room early in the morning, she was shocked by Guan Lei’s worsening dark circles under his eyes. She immediately went forward and asked with concern, “Young Master, did you not sleep well last night? Why don’t we obey the Second Master’s wishes and let the doctor take a look at you?”
Guan Lei did not even look at Xue Li. It was not that he did not sleep well. He could not fall asleep at all. For some unknown reason, when he closed his eyes, he could not help but think of the image of that man applying medicine to Shen Xi. Then, he could not fall asleep after that.
In the past, he had been woken up by nightmares. Now, because of Shen Xi, he could not even fall asleep.
However, after a night of thinking, he was not as angry as the previous night. However, he was still a little unhappy.
Guan Lei suddenly remembered the scar on Shen Xi’s face. He turned to Xue Li and blurted out, “Go check if there are any ointments that can remove scars effectively. Send it over to me. Follow me to Shen Xi’s house later.”
Xue Li agreed. Just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by Guan Lei.
Guan Lei said snappily, “Are you going to buy it just because I asked you to? Don’t you have a mind of your own? Maybe she doesn’t need it!”
Xue Li turned her head to look at him incredulously. Then, she saw Guan Lei with a frown and a complicated expression on his face.
As a subordinate and an a.s.sistant, her job was to obey Guan Lei’s orders. She did not need to have an opinion. She could not question Guan Lei’s orders. Could it be that her dearest Young Master didn’t sleep well and damaged his brain? Xue Li cursed silently.
Xue Li was puzzled. What did Guan Lei mean by her not needing the ointments? That person, could it be Miss Shen? So the reason for the Young Master not sleeping well the previous day was because of her? Could the Young Master be jealous because Miss Shen was with that award-winning actor the day before?
Xue Li instantly became gossipy.
Xue Li was shocked by her own thoughts! Could it be that the Young Master, who had always been cold to others, had fallen in love with Miss Shen? It wasn’t that she didn’t suspect it before, but this Young Master kept saying that he was treating Miss Shen as his partner.
Now that she thought about it, how was this considered as wanting to be partners? Perhaps the Young Master had already fallen in love with Miss Shen when they first met. Otherwise, why would he have asked her to investigate Shen Xi’s background?
This Young Master was clearly being l.u.s.tful and lied about being partners with Shen Xi. In actual fact, Shen Xi was gorgeous. The Young Master’s taste was exquisite.
The more she thought about it, the more Xue Li felt that her guess was correct.
No one knew what Xue Li thought because she was rooted to the spot. Only then did Guan Lei realize how strange his words sounded. The image of Shen Xi and Lu Lin flashed in his mind again. Then, he spoke without thinking again.
“What are you still standing there for? Didn’t I tell you to go buy the ointments?” Guan Lei told Xue Li unhappily.
Guan Lei felt that he had not seen Xue Li’s expression wrongly. Perhaps she was quietly thinking about how to frame him.
Xue Li nodded repeatedly and immediately muted herself after being reprimanded by Guan Lei. Then, she quickly turned around and left, afraid that she would be summoned by him again.
As expected, the Young Master had changed. Although the Young Master was cold to others in the past, his emotions were at least stable. Guan Lei could only be described in the past two days with one word — unpredictable!
