323 Grandma Guan

Li Zhe was so angry that he slammed his fist on the steering wheel. His voice seemed to be squeezed out of his chest as he gritted his teeth and said to Meng Yu, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

Meng Yu’s innocent eyes met Li Zhe’s, and he asked in confusion, “What do you mean on purpose?”

Li Zhe felt that if he continued to chat with Meng Yu, he couldn’t help but directly do Meng Yu on the spot.

Li Zhe forcefully opened the car door. The cold wind outside calmed his anxious mood.

Li Zhe didn’t know what to do. He wanted to make it clear to Meng Yu that he liked him. He liked him very much. He had been liking him since the first time he saw him.

But all these years, it wasn’t that he hadn’t hinted at Meng Yu, but he just didn’t think in this direction. He even thought that his ambiguous behavior was just him teasing and joking with him with a bad interest, and then he directly avoided him.

It wasn’t that Li Zhe hadn’t thought of forcing himself upon Meng Yu to let him know his feelings for him.

But if he did that, then what difference was there between him and that b*stard who forced Meng Yu?

What’s more, what he wanted was Meng Yu’s love but not just physical desire.

On the other side, Meng Yu also got down from the front passenger seat and asked tentatively, “Is there any special request that I didn’t record?”

Li Zhe turned around. His eyes were deep and serene. He stared at Meng Yu without saying a word until Meng Yu suspected that something dirty had appeared on his body.

Meng Yu lowered his head and looked at his clothes. “Did I not wipe them clean?”

Li Zhe panicked and hurriedly replied, “No, it’s very clean.”

Then, Li Zhe waved his hand. “Forget it. You don’t have to worry about the blind date. I’m suddenly not in a hurry.”

“Director Li, don’t be embarrassed. Everyone should get married when they’re old enough. I’ll take note of this.” Meng Yu’s face revealed that standard smile.

Li Zhe laughed bitterly, then raised his head and howled.

On the other side, Guan Lei had just finished breakfast with Shen Xi when he received a call from Ying. Guan Lei’s expression changed. Usually, Aunt Ying would not call him. If grandma had something, she would contact him directly in person.

Guan Lei quickly answered the call and asked anxiously, “Aunt Ying, what’s wrong? Did something happen to grandma?”

On the other end of the phone, Ying’s voice trembled slightly and she hurriedly said, “Young master, the old madam fainted as soon as she arrived on the island. She’s woken up one moment and lost consciousness the next. She keeps calling out to young master to come over and take a look.”

“Do my parents know?” Guan Lei stood up instantly, causing Shen Xi and the others to look at him nervously.

“The old madam didn’t let master and madam come over. She only wants to see you, young master.” Ying’s voice was a little choked up, which made Guan Lei even more anxious.

“Okay, I’ll be right there. Tell grandma to wait for me.” Guan Lei hung up.

“Guan Lei, what’s wrong?” Shen Xi asked, concerned.

“My grandma is sick. I’m going back to my hometown to visit her,” said Guan Lei quickly.

Guan Lei’s expression was nervous and anxious, and it was clear that his grandmother’s condition was bad. Shen Xi said, “Then you should hurry back. I’ll help you ask for leave from the form teacher.”

Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi and nodded his head heavily before leaving.

When Meng Yu, who had been following Guan Lei, saw him leave in a hurry, his expression turned serious. “Director Li, Guan Lei doesn’t look right.”

Li Zhe could tell as well. “You follow him first. I’ll ask Grandpa Guan.”

Meng Yu immediately got into the driver’s seat and carefully followed Guan Lei’s car.

After receiving Guan Yi’s reply, Li Zhe was relieved and said, “It’s nothing. It was Grandma Guan who pretended to be unwell and led Lei to the island to avoid the birthday banquet.

Meng Yu didn’t expect Ye Long to be so fast, but thinking about it, it made sense. The only daughter of the Ye family, who was once famous in Beijing, was swift and decisive.

“Then let’s go,” said Meng Yu with an expressionless face.

Li Zhe turned his head to look at Meng Yu, then said, “Why don’t you stay in Rong City and I’ll go to the island?”

Meng Yu smiled. Even if it was just a faint smile, it was enough to make Li Zhe’s mind sway.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll secretly run to Beijing without you?” Meng Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Will you?” Li Zhe asked, a little uncertain.

“Let’s go to the island together. It’s not the Guan family’s territory there. Nothing will happen,” said Meng Yu.

Li Zhe nodded. “That’s good. I’ll only be at ease if you’re under my watch.”

Meng Yu couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re making me feel like I’m a criminal.”
