Guan Lei recalled the conversation he had with his grandpa four years ago and felt an indescribable regret. “But Meng Yu didn’t get together with Shen Xi four years ago, did he? They had not been together for four years, which meant that the two of them were not suitable.’
Guan Yi naturally knew this, but his health was getting worse. He needed someone to protect Meng Yu. “Can you help me matchmake them for grandfather’s sake? After all, the two of them had feelings for each other.
Even if it wasn’t love, it was other feelings. They could still be together, right?” Guan Lei’s face darkened.
“She lied to you to protect Meng Yu. Doesn’t this prove that Meng Yu is more important to her than you? Without Shen Xi, you’ve survived these four years. This shows that Shen Xi is just like this in your heart. Besides, you’re the heir of the Guan family, and love isn’t suitable for you.” Guan Yi said.
Guan Lei had not expected that his grandpa would actually persuade him to give up on Shen Xi in order to protect Meng Yu. He had even asked him to matchmake Shen Xi and Meng Yu.
“Grandpa, 1 gave up once, and I regret it. 1 don’t care who Xi has in her heart right now. This time, I won’t let go of Shen Xi. I can promise you that I will protect Meng Yu for the rest of my life. Of course…” Guan Lei paused slightly
His pitch-black eyes looked at the old man in front of him and continued in a tough tone, “If you’re worried, you can bring Meng Yu back and reveal his identity. And I will give up the inheritance of the Guan family.”
Guan Yi slammed the table.” Are you threatening me? You clearly know that once Meng Yu returns, I will lose my integrity in my later years. Once you leave the Guan family, the Guan family will be in chaos.”
Guan Lei looked at Guan Yi noncommittally. “Grandpa, you know I am not. Society is very tolerant nowadays. It’s just an illegitimate child. It’s not a big problem. Maybe we can give it a try. However, it’s impossible for me to give up on Xi.”
Guan Yi slammed the table angrily, scaring the three people outside.
Su Han was a little shocked. “What did he use to hit Lei!er? Why was he so loud? Aiyo, what if he broke him?”
Guan Yan was not confident either, but he still comforted her, “Dad knows what he’s doing. He definitely won’t kill him. Don’t worry.”
“Grandpa, I can only say this much about Xi. If you insist on helping Meng Yu to snatch Xi from me, then I won’t show any mercy. Moreover, I can tell you with certainty that I have set my heart on Shen Xi for the rest of my life. I’m
not like you. You can marry a woman you don’t love and pretend to be a man who loves her for most of your life.” Guan Lei looked at Guan Yi and said. The love between his grandparents, when they were young, was a much-told story in Beijing. The noble scholar in the political world and the daughter of a wealthy family, the combination of power and money, who would not say that they were a match made in heaven?
Guan Yi’s old matters were exposed by Guan Lei. Angrily, Guan Yi grabbed the inkstone beside him and threw it at Guan Lei.
He thought that Guan Lei would dodge, but he did not expect Guan Lei to just stand there and watch him. He allowed the inkstone to hit his forehead, creating a wound the size of a fingernail. In an instant, blood seeped out and flowed down.
Guan Yi was a little flustered, but then he forced himself to say, “Vile creature, what nonsense are you spouting!”
Guan Lei just smiled lightly and wiped the blood that was about to flow into his eyes. He mocked, “Grandpa, I didn’t mean to offend you. I just want you to know my determination.”
Guan Lei understood his grandfather. If he was not resolute enough, Guan Yi might really take action.
Now that Shen Xi and Meng Yu were both in Beijing, in order to achieve his goal, grandfather might do something to hurt Shen Xi.
He had been in politics for his entire life. Who did not have some secret means? He was afraid that his grandpa would directly let Shen Xi and Meng Yu be together.
In the past, he thought that Shen Xi and Meng Yu were in love, so he chose to withdraw.
But now that he had decided to be with Shen Xi, he must let his grandpa know that he was willing to go all out with the Guan family for Shen Xi.
He had to let his grandpa know the consequences of touching Shen Xi.
“Grandpa, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go down first.” Guan Yi said respectfully.
However, even with such an attitude, it could not calm Guan Yi’s mood. As the head of the family, he had been authoritative for his entire life. Now that he was old, he was actually threatened by his grandson..
