Li Zhe’s eyes were slightly red, and his voice was muffled. He said weakly, “But
I don’t want anything to happen to him.”
On the other end of the phone, Zheng Huai calmed down slightly and said, “Li Zhe, you still don’t understand Ah Yu. If you had done that today, Ah Yu would have most likely died. Either he knew that you were deliberately scheming for him to leave, so he would be hiding in the dark to protect you and die for you. Or he would not know your intentions and would directly go crazy and commit suicide.’
Zheng Huai paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth in anger and said, “Li Zhe, you shouldn’t have provoked Ah Yu again. Since you had provoked him, then the two of you should be honest.”
Shen Xi crossed his arms and looked at Li Zhe’s expression. She was also indignant. Since they were together, they should face the problem together. They shouldn’t hurt their lover by saying, “I clearly love you, but for your own good, 1 shall pretend not to love you.”
Thinking of this, Shen Xi turned her head and glared at Guan Lei. Guan Lei, who was thinking about something, felt guilty from Shen Xi’s glare and responded to Shen Xi’s gaze with a silly smile.
Guan Lei’s mood became a little complicated.
He couldn’t understand why Meng Yu’s kidnapping would affect the relationship between Li Zhe and Meng Yu. Guan Lei could tell that something was from Zheng Huai’s words.
What was Meng Yu’s so-called ugly past? It could actually make Meng Yu go crazy?
Guan Lei frowned. Perhaps Meng Yu was not just kidnapped back then.Something else must have happened inside that he did not know about.
In the end, Li Zhe still listened to Zheng Huai’s words and dispelled his thoughts of letting Meng Yu leave him.
As soon as Zheng Huai hung up, Guan Lei wanted to ask Li Zhe what Meng Yu had experienced fourteen years ago.
At this moment, Meng Yu came in with a fruit platter. Guan Lei could only put his doubts aside.
Meng Yu looked at Li Zhe’s red eyes and asked worriedly, ‘Director Li, what happened to your eyes?”
Li Zhe looked at Meng Yu, who was sitting next to him and hugged him. He leaned his head against Meng Yu t s neck and said, “I’m fine. I just missed you.
Why were you gone for so long?”
Meng Yu looked in the direction of Shen Xi and Guan Lei with a little embarrassment. He pushed Li Zhe and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Director Li, there are still people. Let go of me quickly.”
Li Zhe nodded and let go of Meng Yu. Then, he pulled Meng Yu up and said to
Shen Xi and the other man, “We still have things to do, so we’ll go back first.” Li Zhe said as he pulled Meng Yu away. However, when they reached the door of the study, Li Zhe suddenly turned to Xue Li and said, “Xue Li, let’s go.” Xue Li then realized that he had been lent to Mr. Li.
Xue Li looked at Guan Lei sadly and said, “Young master, I’m going. You have to be well.’
Guan Lei’s face darkened, while Shen Xi r s anger subsided.
Guan Lei waved his hand and said, “Hurry up and leave.”
Xue Li reluctantly followed behind Li Zhe and Meng Yu. He turned his head back three times after each step and left. He didn’t even forget to close the door of the study.
Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi and thought for a moment before asking, “Xi, did something else happen to Meng Yu in the kidnapping case 14 years ago that I don’t know about?”
Shen Xi knew that this was bad. It seemed that her cousin’s words had made Guan Lei suspicious.
Shen Xi didn’t want more people to know about Meng Yu, and neither did
Guan Lei, so she could only say perfunctorily, “1 don’t know about that either. Anyway, I only heard from my cousin that Meng Yu might have been beaten up quite badly at that time, and then he was stressed out.”
Guan Lei sighed slightly. Shen Xi didn’t tell the truth. It seemed like it was because Meng Yu was wary of him.
However, Shen Xi’s attitude made Guan Lei feel that Meng Yu from 14 years ago was not just beaten up.
Guan Lei stood up and walked towards Shen Xi. Shen Xi was slightly shocked. Could it be that Guan Lei had discovered that she was lying and was planning to force a confession out of her? No, she could not publicize Meng Yu’s matter even if she was beaten to death.
Shen Xi also stood up and said, “I’ve been out for a long time. I should go back to work.’
Shen Xi turned around and left without waiting for Guan Lei to respond.
Guan Lei strode towards Shen Xi and hugged her from behind. He lowered his head and rubbed his chin against Shen Xi’s neck. He said gently, “If you don’t tell me, I won’t ask. You don’t have to leave in such a hurry. I just miss you and want to hug you..”
