“That’s right. What is Guan Lei doing here?” Shen Xi wondered in confusion.
Suddenly, someone saw Shen Xi’s appearance and hurriedly nodded at her, “Secretary Shen.”
When the others heard this, they also turned to look at Shen Xi and respectfully called out, “Secretary Shen.”
Shen Xi smiled at everyone, but those people immediately scattered like birds and beasts. Shen Xi clicked her tongue. Was she that terrifying? One by one, they ran away when they saw her.
The people who left returned to their desks and secretly peeked at Shen Xi who came out of the pantry. When they saw Shen Xi enter her office, everyone started discussing in low voices again.
“l heard that Shen Xi is President Shen’s daughter. Is that true?”
“l guess it’s true. Otherwise, why would she only come for three days out of five days a week? No one said anything.”
“But I heard that the person in charge of Shen Corporation is called Shen Lu, not Shen Xi.’
“Could it be a distant relative?”
“In short, avoid her when you speak in the future. Otherwise, be careful that she will snitch on you.”
Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that this was the correct answer.
At this moment, Shen Xi was extremely curious. Why did Guan Lei come to the Shen Corporation for no reason? She was conflicted about whether she should go and take a look.
However, if Guan Lei came to the Shen Corporation for work and she went to take a look, wouldn’t that be telling her father that she was curious about Guan Lei?
Shen Xi scratched her ears and cheeks as she thought about it. The atmosphere in Shen Yan’s office was solemn at the moment.
“Guan Lei, even if you were kind enough to help me today, I would never let you be with Xia I’m not sure if you’re pretending to be nice to Xi because you’re coveting the Shen and Lu families’ assets.” Shen Yan looked at Guan Lei with dark eyes.
In the afternoon, Lu Shan had told him about Guan Lei. He also knew that Guan Lei had clarified that he was not gay. However, even though Guan Lei was no longer gay, he was still not satisfied with Guan Lei and Shen Xi being together.
“Uncle, when I was pursuing Xi, I didn’t even know who she was. I’m serious about Xi. I’m only doing this for her and nothing else. Whether it’s the Shen or Lu family, I won’t play tricks to snatch them from Xi’s hands.” Guan Lei said.
Guan Lei stood in the middle of the office with his back straight. He was neither servile nor overbearing, and his tone was unquestionable and firm.
Shen Yan snorted coldly and said with extreme mockery, “l don’t know if you can do it, but the family behind you will definitely. If it was an ordinary young lady from an aristocratic family, no one would make things difficult for her if she were to be a good wife. However, Xi is different. She had the Shen and Lu family’s wealth behind her, so it was inevitable that people would be jealous. Guan Lei, our Xi is not worthy of a family like you. You should find another one to fool around with.’
“Uncle, I won’t let Xi suffer. I’m confident that I can suppress those elders.” Guan Lei said earnestly.
“Believe me? I won’t believe you, Guan Lei. Four years ago, you didn’t trust Xi. Once, there will be a second time. If one day, someone holds evidence of Xii betraying you, based on what you did four years ago, you will definitely convict Xi.” Shen Yan mocked, his tone filled with deep dissatisfaction towards Guan Lei.
Guan Lei felt bitter in his heart. A person really had to think twice before acting. Otherwise, a single decision would make one’s future life a few times more difficult.
Shen Yan slightly relaxed his shoulders and looked at Guan Lei with a sinister smile. “Guan Lei, to tell you the truth, we are planning to find Xi a son-in-law who will marry into our family. This is very difficult for you, right? So, Guan Lei, seeing that I’m not in a bad mood, you’d better get lost.”
“Uncle, I can do it.” Guan Lei looked up at Shen Yan and said.
Shen Yan thought he was hearing things. “What did you say?”
“l said, I can marry into your family. Xi and my child can take the Shen family’s surname or the Lu family’s surname. I don’t care.” Guan Lei looked at Shen Yan without blinking and said what was in his heart.
As for the Guan family, Guan Lei could only sigh. He would see if he could trick Meng Yu into getting a test tube baby. After all, it will still be the Guan family’s child.
If that didn’t work, he would think of a way to get his parents to work harder and give birth to a younger brother or sister for him.
Shen Yan looked at Guan Lei in disbelief. “Guan Lei, do you know what you’re talking about? Once you choose to marry into the family, it means that you have to give up the inheritance of the Guan family..”
