Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Chen Yu could see that Shen Xi’s expression was wavering, which made him feel extremely uneasy.
In these four years, no matter how much Shen Xi rejected him, he still felt that he had a great chance. Because by Shen Xi’s side, he was more special than all the other boys.
He had never needed to be notified when he entered the Shen family’s villa. He could come whenever he wanted.
Shen Xi’s parents, including her grandparents, thought highly of him and liked him.
In terms of family background, he and Shen Xi could be considered to be of equal status. Moreover, his family background was clean and his parents liked Shen Xi very much.
He was the only boy who was allowed to appear by Shen Xi’s side.
Everything that had happened in the past four years made him feel that as long as he worked harder, he would be able to be with Shen Xi.
However, after learning about Shen Xi and Guan Lei’s past from Zhao Yuan, he began to feel uneasy and wanted to confirm Shen Xi’s attitude.
However, Shen Xi’s reaction made him abnormally panicked.
He had seen Shen Xi reject boys decisively and resolutely. If he did not like a boy, Shen Xi would always say, don’t like you. It’s impossible for us to be together. I’m sorry.”
But just now, when he asked Shen Xi if she would get back together with Guan Lei, Shen Xi’s expression was confused. If she had no feelings, why would she be confused?
Chen Yu felt bitter in his heart. Looking at Shen Xi who did not answer for a long time, he smiled and said, “l was just asking casually. Xi, no matter what your answer is, I just want to say that I won’t give up so easily. You and Guan Lei are separated by a complicated family, but between us, you’re the only one who needs to nod your head. Thinking about it this way, I still have the advantage.”
As Chen Yu spoke, he laughed at himself.
Before Shen Xi could say anything, Chen Yu stood up. “I haven’t been home for the past few days. I should go back too. Have a good rest.”
Shen Xi’s lips quivered. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Chen Yu’s fleeing figure, she suddenly felt a little sorry for him. In the end, she only sighed.
Compared to the harmonious atmosphere of Shen Xi’s family, the atmosphere of the Guan family was solemn and silent.
Su Han leaned against her husband and pursed her lips as she wiped her tears at the door of Guan Yi’s study.
Guan Yan also pulled out the door of the study with a worried expression, wanting to look inside.
The Guan family was different from the Shen family and the Lu family. The Shen family and the Lu family had relatively less complicated family backgrounds. Their assets and power were very concentrated.
Shen family’s old master had no siblings and only had a pair of children. Lu family’s old master also had no siblings and only had a daughter and an adopted son.
Therefore, even if something happened to Shen Xi, there would not be any cases of the various branches jumping out to snatch assets and resources.
However, the Guan family had many branches. The old master of the Guan family had two younger brothers, three sisters, and countless cousins.
All the resources were concentrated in the main branch of Guan family to ensure that the family property would not be scattered.
Therefore, if anything happened to Guan Lei and Guan Yi t s bloodline ended, everyone would come to fight for the Guan family’s huge assets and power.
Back then, Guan Miao’s death had caused quite a stir. Fortunately, there was still Guan Lei around. This was also why Guan Lei had not appeared in front of everyone all these years.
If something happened to Guan Lei, the Guan family would be in chaos. Once the coordination was not in place, the entire Guan family’s power would have to be changed and reorganized.
In addition, if the Gu family and some enemies took advantage of the situation. the Guan family would face a great calamity.
Guan Yan was filled with melancholy when he thought of this. He remembered that he had made a mistake when he was young and was beaten up so badly that he could not get up. He felt uneasy, afraid that Guan Lei would be beaten up by his father.
Perhaps he would not die, but it would hurt.
Xue Li was also holding the first aid kit nervously, planning to rush in to save him as soon as the door opened.
However, the study room was unusually quiet.
“Lei ‘er, you’ve grown up. There are some things that I hope you’ll think about before you do it. You have to understand the responsibility you bear on your body.” Guan Yi said earnestly.
Guan Lei stood in the middle of the study and nodded solemnly. “Grandfather, 1 know my responsibilities. But if I don’t go to C Nation this time, I won’t be able to live in peace for the rest of my life. Shen Xi is very important to me.”
Guan Yi’s lips were pursed into a straight line. His gaze fell on Guan Lei’s determined face, and his emotions were a little complicated. “Do you still remember what I asked you four years ago? You said that you and Shen Xi are already in the past, right? You even agreed to let Meng Yu and Shen Xi get engaged..”
