Meanwhile, Guan Lei pulled Su Han to sit on the long bench in the hospital, asking Su Rui to stay a little further away, and then confessed the current situation of Shen Xi.
Su Han couldn’t understand, “Is there really such a thing like sorcery in this world?”
“Mom, it’s not sorcery, it’s mind control, a kind of psychologically induced mental disorder,” Guan Lei patiently explained.
He didn’t want Su Han to have negative emotions towards Shen Xi due to a lack of information, which might lead to unpleasant actions.
Su Han’s face was unusually solemn as she asked, “Can it be cured? What if it can’t be cured for a lifetime, what should we do?”
Guan Lei smiled and said, “That means Shen Xi will love me for a lifetime, and naturally, I will do everything to keep her by my side. Mom, you wouldn’t want your son to lose to Gu Chen, right?”
“Absolutely not,” Su Han said decisively.
It was because of the Gu family that the Guan family had an illegitimate child, and she lost a son.
Even though it was later confirmed that it was Gu Chen’s aunt who did it, no matter what, he was still a member of the Gu family.
Thus, Su Han bore no good sentiments for the Gu family.
She was appalled that Gu Chen had the audacity to compete with her son for a girl.
“Son, compete with him, don’t be afraid, Mom and Dad are on your side,” Su Han said furiously.
Seeing that Su Han was fully on board and supportive of his decision, Guan Lei felt relieved.
Su Rui didn’t know what the mother and son had talked about, but when Su Han offered to help her son win back Shen Xi, Su Rui became unsettled.
What was wrong with Su Han?
Didn’t Gu Chen just say that Shen Xi saw him as a lover and was clinging to him?
Why wasn’t Su Han angry?
She even wanted to help Guan Lei compete with Gu Chen for Shen Xi. Did something go wrong?
Su Han was indeed very enthusiastic. As soon as she returned to the ward, she grabbed Shen Xi and said, “Xi, you’ve lost a lot of weight recently.”
Shen Xi was startled by Su Han’s sudden affection.
In her memory, Su Han was not so friendly to her, even a bit disdainful, wasn’t she?
Did her memory of Su Han also become muddled?
Regardless, Su Han didn’t care whether Shen Xi agreed or not and invited her, “In a few days, Su Rui’s grandfather is having a birthday banquet, and he wants our family to attend. I thought since I don’t have a daughter to accompany me, why don’t you come with me?”
Shen Xi’s puzzled expression seemed a bit stunned.
Su Rui widened her eyes, watching Su Han invite Shen Xi to her grandfather’s birthday banquet. She didn’t dare to say anything.
After all, Su Han didn’t say anything wrong. They invited the Guan family, and she, as a junior, couldn’t comment on who the Guan family considered as family.
Moreover, she was afraid that if she spoke, Su Han wouldn’t like her. Guan Lei found it both amusing and exasperating but had no intention of putting a stop to it.
He had to attend the Su family’s grandfather’s birthday banquet, and bringing Shen Xi along wouldn’t be a bad idea. It might prevent Shen Xi from being swayed by Gu Chen.
Shen Xi hurriedly refused, “Um, this… It’s not appropriate. l…”
Su Han, in full combat mode, wouldn’t let Shen Xi refuse. She quickly said with a pleading expression, “Ah, I envy those wealthy wives who have daughters. They dress up beautifully every day to attend banquets. I’m jealous, and it makes my heart ache. Xi, won’t you accompany Auntie and fulfill this small request?”
Gu Chen’s icy gaze landed on Guan Lei. He had gone too far by pulling Su Han into the camp to vie for Shen Xi.
Guan Lei provocatively raised his eyebrows at Gu Chen. If Gu Chen dared to brainwash Shen Xi, he naturally could bring in some support to win her back.
Shen Xi looked helpless.
She could handle a domineering and arrogant Su Han.
But now, Su Han was pleading with a face full of sorrow, and Shen Xi really couldn’t handle it.
In the end, Shen Xi could only manage a defeated smile and agreed reluctantly.
Guan Lei couldn’t help but find amus.e.m.e.nt in Shen Xi’s forced smile.
Soft approaches worked better with Shen Xi than hard ones. It seemed he needed to learn more from his mother in the future.
Meanwhile, Su Han, upon hearing Shen Xi’s response, immediately moved on to the next step.
“In the next few days, let’s go shopping and try on some dresses. If you don’t like shopping, it’s fine. Come to the Guan family’s old mansion, and I’ll have various brands bring clothes for you to choose from,” Su Han said.
“Mrs. Guan, um, that’s not necessary. , I have my own clothes. I…” Shen Xi hastily refused..
