Xue Li carefully pushed the door open. As expected, Guan Lei’s room was still dark. The thick curtains blocked the light, and even the air in the room became heavy and cramped.
For the past two days, Young Master had locked himself in his room and refused to speak. Xue Li was very worried. He wanted to contact Shen Xi and ask her to come and see him, but he was afraid that he would blame him. The feeling of being in a dilemma was too unbearable.
Xue Li turned on the orange lights, afraid that the incandescent lights would hurt Guan Lei’s eyes.
The light suddenly brightened up, but Guan Lei did not look at him at all. He was still sitting on the leather chair in a daze, holding the bracelet that Shen Xi had thrown away, and then looking at the faded hair string.
Xue Li’s heart ached, and he said, “Young Master, in the past two days, the business of the Beijing company has been destroyed by the Shen and Lu families. Sir asked me to ask for your opinion.”
When he heard “Shen, Lu,” Guan Lei’s lifeless eyes slightly rippled. He turned his leather chair and looked at Xue Li. “What happened?”
Xue Li looked at Lei Guan’s stubbled face and sighed in his heart. Then, he said carefully, “Probably because of Ms. Shen Xi. At the previous banquet, the Shen and Lu families had withdrawn their people from the banquet in front of everyone. As long as it was the Guan family’s business, they would come and destroy it.”
Although the Guan family was the head of the four big families in Beijing, it was still a little difficult to deal with the situation of offending the Shen and Lu families all of a sudden. Moreover, from the current situation, the Gu family was still secretly playing tricks behind the Shen and Lu families. It was inevitable that they would suffer a loss if they fought one against three.
Now, people in Beijing were joking. They said that even if they passed by the Guan family and were infected with the smell of the Guan family, they would be targeted by the Shen and Lu families. Everyone was guessing how the Guan family had provoked the Shen and Lu Clans at the same time.
Guan Lei’s face was pale as he smiled bitterly and said helplessly, “Tell my dad to let them be. Let them vent their anger and it’ll probably be over.”
Xue Li looked at Guan Lei with heartache and said, “Young Master, your body hasn’t recovered yet, so you still need to rest well. You don’t see the light of day every day, how can that do? If Ms. Shen Xi knew, her heart would ache.”
Guan Lei sneered. Shen Xi’s heart would only ache for Meng Yu, right? Why would he feel sorry for him, a backup who had to settle for second best?
“Ms. Shen Xi…” Guan Lei stopped Xue Li as soon as he said that.
Guan Lei sighed slightly and put the bracelet away. He looked up at Xue Li said,
“I’ve said it before. In the future, don’t report her matters to me.”
If he knew that Shen Xi was living a happy life, he might not be satisfied. If
Shen Xi was not living a happy lite, his heart would ache. Instead ot that, it was better for him to not know anything.
Xue Li sighed. He had wanted to provoke Young Master and let Young Master know that Gu Chen had taken advantage of the situation and surrounded Shen Xi every day for the past two days.
It was said that the two of them even went to take a helicopter. Ms. Shen Xi had just learned the skills, and Gu Chen became Miss Shen Xi’s first passenger.
Although Xue Li felt that it was a very dangerous thing to take Shen Xi’s plane, such a first experience should be exclusive to his Young Master, not Gu Chen who took advantage of the situation.
But now, it seemed that his Young Master was really disappointing.
Just looking at it, if a couple had a serious quarrel, they would end up alone. Just like his little master, he was now like an abandoned little beast, hiding in a dark corner and licking his wounds alone.
There was a knock on the door. Guan Lei called out expressionlessly, “Enter.”
Guan Ba and Guan Jiu dragged Guan Bo in.
Under the orange light, Guan Lei’s skin was pale. When his cold gaze met Guan Bo’s, it instantly became fierce.
“Guan Bo, I thought I treated you well, but you actually want to kill me.” Guan Lei’s voice came out from his chest. The anger in his tone scared Guan Bo and made him panic.
Guan Bo fell to the ground and said with a trembling voice, “Brother, I didn’t kill you. I was just confused. I didn’t know those people were from the Gu family.”
“You didn’t want to kill me? Those assassins on the island were all vicious and aimed at my life. You’re telling me that you didn’t want to kill me?” Guan Lei’s expression looked extremely terrifying under the yellow light..
