Shen Xi’s heart was slightly stabbed. She made a small note to count this against Guan Lei and said with a calming smile, “What I do has nothing to do with you two, right?”
“How is it none of our business?” Wang Lei snorted coldly. “Young Master Guan is my cousin’s man. The two of them are in love with each other. It’s too shameful for a third party like you to interfere.”
“Since your cousin and Guan Lei are in love, why did Guan Lei organize such a big blind date banquet?” Shen Xi asked sarcastically. “It seemed that they were not really in love.”
Looking at Shen Xi!s gloating look, Wang Lei was furious and said angrily,
“Their relationship is better than yours. You are vain and broke up with Young Master when you thought that he was poor. After knowing the Young
Master’s identity, you begged to reconcile and were rejected by him in the end. At the very least, my cousin and Young Master are well-matched in social status, while you’re just a gold digger who’s using all means to climb up the social ladder.’
Wang Lei met Guan Lei for the first time at Shen Qian’s banquet. She liked
Guan Lei the moment she saw him and even tried to buy Guan Lei back from Shen Xi with money. In the end, she did not expect Shen Xi to get close to Shen Qian. In the end, she did not succeed.
The next time she heard about Guan Lei was at the Guan family banquet, where the Young Master of the Guan family made his first appearance.
She had thought that she would be able to seduce a pretty boy with that little bit of money, but she didn’t expect him to be the famous Young Master Guan. Moreover, Young Master Guan was the person that her cousin Li Jin liked. She had known this for a long time.
Unwilling to give up, she went to ask Li Jin if she still liked Guan Lei.
How did Li Jin reply back then? Oh, right, she said shyly that she and Guan Lei had already confirmed their relationship.
She had asked in surprise about Shen Xi.
Li Jin replied with a smile and told her that Shen Xi’s status was low, so it was impossible for her to marry into the Guan family. Li Jin also told her about how Shen Xi abandoned Guan Lei due to money.
Shen Xi couldn’t help but laugh. “You mean, I broke up with Guan Lei, and now I want to get back together with him?” she asked.
“Isn’t that so?” Wang Lei said angrily. “My cousin told me everything. You didn’t know that Young Master was a member of the Guan family. You thought that he was just a junk picker, so you hooked up with President Meng of the
Li industries and abandoned the Young Master. After you found out that Young Master was a member of the Guan family, you came to ask for reconciliation, but he rejected you in public.”
Shen Xi really felt that the world was too magical. Why didn’t she know that she initiated a break-up with Guan Lei? She was clearly the one who had broken up, okay?
Wang Lei saw that Shen Xi did not speak and thought that she was right. She became even more disdainful and said sarcastically, “A low-class gold digger like you likes to cling to rich people. In the past, you used some unknown means to cling to the Shen and Lu families to stand up for you. Later on, you clung to the Nieng Yu from the Li industries. In the end, you even wanted to turn back to look for Young Master. All these are too disgusting.”
When she was talking enthusiastically, Wang Lei even asked with a gossipy look, “Do you know that Meng Yu is the Shen family’s young miss man? I’ve heard that the Shen familys young miss ruined the Li and Ye family’s engagement banquet for Meng Yu. You were quiet for the past four years, could it be that you were taught a lesson by the Shen family’s young miss, so you didn’t dare to come back?”
At this point, Wang Lei said with a carefree expression, “Look at you. You were originally relying on the protection of the Shen and Lu families. It’s fine if you’re not grateful, but you even snatched a man from the young miss of the Shen family.”
Shen Xi was speechless. Since when did she steal her own man? Or snatch Meng Yu?
As expected, rumours were not to be trusted.
Shen Xi looked at Wang Lei as if she was a retard and said, “Can you guess what is the name of the Shen family’s young miss?”
Wang Lei was stunned. What was the name of the Shen family’s young miss? How would she know? When she first got to know the Shen family’s young miss, everyone called her by her title. Occasionally, there would be rumours that the young miss of the Shen family was called Shen Lu because she was the product of the marriage between the Shen family and the Lu family.
Wang Lei looked at Li Jin in a daze and asked, “Cousin, the young miss of the
Shen family is called Shen Lu, right?”
Shen Xi widened her eyes and looked at the two people in front of her in disbelief. When did she even change her name?
Hearing this name, Shen Xi didn’t need to think to know that her grandfather must have been dissatisfied with the people in Beijing calling her the young miss of the Shen family, so he had people spread it. He wanted people to know that Shen Lu was the young miss of the Shen family and the Lu family.
Shen Xi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She had only heard about such a blunder now.
Was this how the Beijing socialite circle promoted her during the four years she was in seclusion in school?
