Lu Shan was smiling, but Guan Lei could see the coldness in her eyes.
“You put it nicely, but didn’t you also break up with Xi so cleanly back then? Four years ago, Xi was abandoned by you. She was so angry that she fainted and went to the hospital. As a mother, I can’t forgive you. Four years later, Xi was injured trying to save you. As a mother, I couldn’t accept this.” Lu Shan’s tone was filled with resentment.
“Anger? Fainted? She was in the hospital?” Guan Lei was shocked. This was the first time he knew about this.
Guan Lei’s heart ached. It turned out that Xi had been hurt by him to this extent.
Seeing Guan Lei’s pretentious expression, Lu Shan snorted coldly and said, “Stop pretending. You’re gay, but you’re acting like this. I don’t believe that you’re not after our Xi. Did you want to find a powerful wife? Guan Lei, you sure have big words.”
Guan Lei suddenly pulled himself out of his heartache. He looked at Lu Shan in embarrassment and explained, “Auntie, it’s not like that. I wasn’t the one wearing the peony mask that day. I only like Xi. In this life, I will only love one person, and that is Xi. I’ll use my entire life to prove what I’m saying now.”
Lu Shan stared at Guan Lei’s expression as he spoke, trying to find traces of him lying in his eyes and actions. However, it was obvious that she failed.
Guan Lei’s words were sincere and did not seem like he was lying. There was a kind of determination that came from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Shan didn’t respond to Guan Lei’s words. She said indifferently, “I still have something to do, Young Master Guan, please go back.”
Guan Lei was disappointed, but he reminded Lu Shan, “Auntie, President
Wangs project is really not a good one. You have to consider it carefully.”
Lu Shan snorted coldly. “Of course. Since he dared to come to my Lu Corporation to swindle, I naturally won’t let him off. If he wants to treat me like a fool, he should take a look at his own capabilities.”
Guan Lei felt much more at ease after hearing Lu Shan’s words.
Before leaving, Guan Lei looked at Lu Shan with determination and said,
“Auntie, I won’t give up on Xi.”
Lu Shan watched Guan Lei leave and gritted her teeth. Then, she picked up her phone and started complaining to her dear husband, saying that Guan Lei had come to provoke her and wanted to pursue Xi.
After Lu Shan finished venting her grievances, she started to deal with President Wang.
Guan Lei sent Shen Xi a message the moment he stepped out of the Lu Corporation.
Xi’s boy asked: Xi, why didn’t you tell me that you were hospitalized four years ago on the day we broke up?
Shen Xi, who was in the Shen Corporation, saw the message sent by Guan Lei and frowned slightly. How did Guan Lei know about this?
Xi: It’s nothing important, so there’s no need to talk about it.
When Guan Lei saw Shen Xi’s reply, he felt extremely guilty. It was clearly his fault, but Xi forgave him so easily. This made him feel even worse.
He would rather Shen Xi get angry and beat him up. At least that would reduce the guilt in his heart.
Xi’s boy: Xi, if I spout nonsense again, I am a dog.
When Shen Xi saw Guan Lei’s message, she instantly smiled.
At noon, Guan Lei received the news that President Wangs company had completely disappeared from Beijing.
Guan Lei leaned back in his office chair and smiled. It seemed that his future mother-in-law was not an easy person to deal with. She was quite ruthless when she did things.
Guan Lei stood up and tidied his clothes. It was time to go to the Shen Corporation.
In order to show his sincerity, Guan Lei put in a lot of effort during this period of time, He had to make a good impression in front of Shen Xi’s parents.
Shen Xi had just woken up from her afternoon nap and was about to make a cup of coffee to wake up when she heard the discussion of the staff in the pantry.
“Is that really the crown prince of the Guan Corporation, the Guan Lei who is known as Young Master Guan? Isn’t he too handsome?”
“Look at those long legs, that tall and straight figure, and those three-dimensional facial features that look like they were meticulously carved by a carving knife. He’s simply my dream lover.”
“Wake up, that’s the Guan family, the head of the four big families, a proud son of heaven that you can’t even dream of.”
“Have you forgotten? Didn’t you hear that Young Master Guan is gay? You don’t have a chance.’
“I’m a man. I have a chance. As expected, the heavens still favour me. I am going to meet him by chance.”
“If Young Master Guan was looking for a man, he wouldn’t have found someone like you, hahaha.”
“But when I first came to the company, I heard that our company and the
Guan Group didn’t get along.. Then what is Young Master Guan doing here?”
