“Shen Xi, I don’t understand why you’re protecting Meng Yu. Aren’t you dating Guan Lei? Don’t you know that Meng Yu killed Guan Lei’s brother? Are you sure you still want to protect Meng Yu?” Sun Ming glanced at Guan Lei and said to Shen Xi.
Shen Xi lightly glanced at Guan Lei. Her nonchalant gaze was like a sharp blade that ruthlessly stabbed into Guan Lei’s heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
“Date? Shouldn’t you ask the person involved first before saying that? Your Young Master Guan felt that Meng Yu and I had a deep relationship and couldn’t bear to interfere, so he broke up with me. Don’t you know?” Shen Xi asked Sun Ming.
Sun Ming was a little stunned. She didn’t know about this matter. During this period, she was busy dealing with the two old fellows from the Sun family.
Then, she was in a hurry to lay out a plan to encircle and annihilate Meng Yu. How could she have the time to care about Guan Lei’s relationship?
However, she could tell that Guan Lei valued Shen Xi very much. So why did
he suddenly break up? Could it be that Shen Xi was really with Meng Yu?
However, Shen Xi didn’t look at Meng Yu with the love of a lover. Instead, there was indescribable respect and protection.
On the other hand, Shen Xi held Meng Yu’s hand gracefully and said with a smile, “Thank you, Young Master Guan, for your help. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have known that my feelings for Meng Yu were so deep that I couldn’t control myself.”
Meng Yu was slightly stunned. What was Guan Lei thinking? He and Shen Xi? How was this possible? They had just met not long ago. How could they be related?
Meng Yu wanted to pull his hand back, but Shen Xi held it tightly. He could only give up. Since Shen Xi wanted to put on an act, he would accompany her.
Guan Lei’s gaze fell on Shen Xi and Meng Yu’s tightly held hands. Something that belonged to him, the reluctance and anger of being suddenly taken away, swept through his mind. He wanted to go up and separate from that eyesore holding hands, but he was firmly rooted to the spot by reason.
He was the one who gave up on Shen Xi first. What reason did he have to separate the two of them now? He had no status and no rights.
Guan Lei clenched his fists tightly. Su Han, who was standing at the side, clearly heard the sound of joints moving. She looked down and saw veins on the back of Guan Lei’s hand.
Su Han had mixed feelings. The person Shen Xi was protecting was the person who killed her son, but Shen Xi was the girl that her other son cared about.
Previously, she thought that Guan Lei was just playing with Shen Xi. Otherwise, Guan Lei would not have refused to give Shen Xi any face in front of so many people and resolutely wanted to break up. Therefore, she was also unbridled and spoke ill of Shen Xi.
However, after they broke up, Guan Lei locked himself up for a few days. He was in low spirits and did not take good care of his illness. In those few days, she had been very puzzled. Why did Guan Lei give up on Shen Xi first when breaking up was so painful?
She could tell that Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei with affection that day. Otherwise, when Guan Lei broke up with her, his eyes were filled with shock, anger, and a breakdown from being seriously injured.
Now that Guan Lei saw Shen Xi with someone else, the reluctance in his eyes and the emotions that were forcefully suppressed in his eyes, as a mother, how could she not see that Guan Lei cared a lot about Shen Xi?
They still had feelings for each other, so why did it become like this?
In the past, Su Han didn’t know that love could hurt people, but when she saw Guan Miao’s accident, Sun Ming went crazy. Su Han was also worried now. What if Guan Lei became as crazy as Sun Ming because of Shen Xi?
Su Han looked up at Meng Yu and felt even more resentful. Meng Yu had already caused the death of one of her sons, and now he was here to s.n.a.t.c.h the girl that her son liked. He was simply too detestable.
Then, Su Han looked at Shen Xi and said gently, “Miss Shen, I can tell that
Lei’er is still in your heart. Why did you lie to yourself?”
Shen Xi looked at Su Han with a faint smile. “Mrs. Guan, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood. l, Shen Xi, will only like people who like me. I have to say, you guys are quite funny. You all like to use your thoughts to define other people’s feelings. Why, are you the only ones who have thoughts and no one else?”
Shen Xi turned to look at Guan Lei and continued, “Also, don’t try to play the emotional card on me. There’s no relationship between us. Ah Yu is my man. I will protect him. If anyone stops me from taking him away today, I can only fight head-on.”
Guan Lei’s eyes were filled with hurt. His Xi said that there was no relationship between them. Even though he was mentally prepared, Guan Lei found it hard to bear the pain..
