n308 Guan Lei Who Was Confused

nGuan Lei laughed drily and didn’t say anything else.

nZheng Huai was shocked by Guan Lei’s silent agreement. Lu Lin did not know Guan Lei’s identity, but Zheng Huai did.

nHe was Young Master Guan of Beijing. Whoever dared to speak to Guan Lei in such a weird tone would probably be lying on the ground in the next second. No one would be like Lu Lin, who was still sitting there and glaring at Guan Lei.

nZheng Huai looked at Shen Xi and shook his head. Young Master Guan had compromised for love.

nShen Xi smiled and tried to smooth things over. She even ordered another meal to be served to comfort his two cousins, who had suffered a heavy blow to their hearts. Guan Lei enthusiastically poured drinks for Lu Lin and Zheng Huai throughout the entire period and even turned the dumbwaiter for them.

nZheng Huai was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off. Guan Lei had been cold and indifferent to him, but now, he kept smiling at him. This was indeed rare.

nZheng Huai thought that if he went back and told others that Young Master Guan poured him a drink and even smiled at him, everyone would probably say that it was his wishful thinking.

nZheng Huai ate the food that Guan Lei had given him with excitement. If he were not afraid Guan Lei would smash his phone in anger, he would have taken a picture of his glorious moment.

nSeeing that Guan Lei’s attitude was alright, Lu Lin felt much better.

nThe meal was finally finished with everyone having their thoughts.

nGuan Lei sent Shen Xi back to her dormitory and said a little embarrassedly, “I’m embarrassed to let you spend so much money today.”

nThe first was the meal with Shen Xi, then the meal he had with Zheng Huai and Lu Lin.

nShen Xi glared at Guan Lei. “Why are you being so polite?”

nWhen Guan Lei heard Shen Xi say there was no need for formalities, he was instantly happy. He felt that Shen Xi’s words were a little intimate, and their relationship had become closer.

nShen Xi couldn’t understand why Guan Lei was so happy suddenly. He was such a fickle boy.

nGuan Lei bade Shen Xi farewell happily and hummed a little tune as he returned to the dormitory.

nAfter Shen Xi returned to the dormitory, she picked up the three million in cash she had hidden on the bed and examined it carefully. It didn’t seem fake.

nAt night, Guan Lei finally sensed that something was amiss when he returned to the dormitory. Lu Lin and Shen Xi’s mother had the same surname, Lu. Hence, it was understandable that Shen Xi and Lu Lin were cousins. Lu Lin should be the child of Lu Shan’s brother.

nHowever, Zheng Huai was Chen Xi’s cousin. It meant Shen Xi’s parents were related to Zheng Huai’s parents.

nZheng Huai’s mother was from the Shen family in Beijing, and his father was from the Zheng family in the same city.

nShen Xi’s surname was Shen. Logically speaking, she should be a child of the Shen family, meaning she should call Zheng Huai’s mother the aunt.

nHowever, Old Master Shen only had a son and a daughter. The elder daughter was Zheng Huai’s mother, while the younger son had been abroad and was still single. That did not make sense.

nTherefore, Shen Xi shouldn’t be a child of the Shen Group. It made sense then. If Shen Xi was the daughter of the Shen family, how could she be so poor?

nSince Zheng Huai was not a relative of Shen Xi’s father, he must be a relative of Shen Xi’s mother. Therefore, Shen Xi’s mother should be a sister of Zheng Huai’s mother, or perhaps, Shen Xi’s mother should be a sister of Zheng Huai’s father.

nHowever, Zheng Huai’s mother’s surname was Shen, while Shen Xi’s mother’s surname was Lu. It was a contradiction. Zheng Huai’s father’s surname was Zheng, while Shen Xi’s mother’s surname was Lu. It was also a contradiction.

nSo how could Zheng Huai be Shen Xi’s cousin?

nGuan Lei was so immersed in his thoughts that he couldn’t get out. He even suspected that he had miscalculated Shen Xi’s family relations.

nIn the end, Guan Lei came up with the most likely scenario- Shen Xi’s father was a fallen relative of the Shen Group.

nWith that thought, Guan Lei finally felt his mind calm down a little.

nHowever, before he could rest well, his roommate, Sun Yi, raised his phone and shouted, “Brother Lei, bad news! Sister-in-law is on the hot search of the school forum again.”

nGuan Lei furrowed his brows. Shen Xi had just been accused of being a kept woman this morning. It had only been less than half a day since she was clarified, so why was she on the hot search again?

nSun Yi panted as he said, “Someone revealed on the forum that Shen Xi stole the 3 million Yuan that Jiang Xue left in her dormitory. They even took a photo of Shen Xi beside the dormitory table. There were indeed a few stacks of cash on the table. Many people are saying that they’re going to call the police.”

nGuan Lei’s head started to throb. He knew very well that the money was given to Shen Xi by Li Zhe, but the key was that no one else knew.

nThis was already the umpteenth time today that Guan Lei wanted to strangle Li Zhe.

n“Look, Jiang Xue also spoke about this matter.” Sun Yi’s eyes were fixed on the phone screen as he beckoned Guan Lei to look at it together.
