nChapter 541: Lying

nTranslator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

nShen Xi’s answer would not change everyone’s opinion of Meng Yu, but it could temporarily maintain the peace in this family.

nTen years ago, as long as Meng Yu did not return to Beijing, no one in the Guan family was allowed to hurt him. However, Meng Yu broke the agreement.

nThis time, Ye Long compromised again. She had made an agreement with Guan Yi that if Shen Xi said that Meng Yu had let go on purpose, Guan Yi would no longer be able to stop Ye Long from pursuing Meng Yu.

nThat was why everyone was waiting.

nOn the other end of the phone, Shen Xi was immersed in her memories. That day, she ran to Meng Yu’s side and bandaged him. Then, Guan Lei and the others came. She stood up and her vision went black. She staggered a few steps back. It was Meng Yu who caught her in time and saved her.

nThen, because she was afraid, she struggled to break free from Meng Yu’s hand and even bumped into Guan Lei, causing the both of them to fall.

nShen Xi faintly felt that something was wrong, but she still said honestly, “No,

nI was scared and broke free from Meng Yu, who wanted to save me. That’s why I fell down and even implicated Guan Lei.”

nThe sharp sound of porcelain shattering could be heard in the Guan family’s living room. Everyone looked at the place where the porcelain shattered and saw Guan Lei turning around to leave.

nShen Xi, who was on the other end of the phone, was also frightened by the voice. She looked as if she had done something wrong and was at a loss.

n“Miss Shen, you didn’t say that last time. Do you want to recall it again?” Ye Long gritted her teeth as she spoke. Her voice was so low that it was almost squeezed out of her chest.

nShen Xi raised her head in confusion. The empty bedroom seemed to be shrouded in fog. Then, she said with certainty, “This is the truth.”

nGuan Yi hung up the phone. His silent expression carried a sense of relief and relief as he said, “Since we’ve already asked, the matter is very clear. This incident was an accident, this matter is settled.”

n“Dad! This Shen Xi must be lying. How could there be such a coincidence? Dad,

nLei ‘er is your biological grandson. Don’t tell me you want to see Lei ‘er and Miao’ er die before you can see Meng Yu’s wild ambitions clearly?” Su Han looked at Guan Yi and cried.

n“This matter is settled like this. There’s no need to say anything else.” Guan Yi stopped Guan Yan who wanted to say something and left the living room.

nXue Li came to Guan Lei’s bedroom with a face full of disbelief. He wanted to comfort the young master, but he hesitated at the door for a long time, not daring to go in. He could only sigh at the door.

nInside, Guan Lei’s entire body was shrouded in a dark aura. He felt a suffocating pain in his heart as if there was a sharp knife with thorns cutting into his heart.

nHe had never thought that Shen Xi would actually lie in order to protect Meng Yu. She had lied in front of him, the party involved.

nShen Xi knew that this time, it was very likely that Meng Yu was using her, attempting to let the two of them die at the bottom of the cliff, but she still chose to protect Meng Yu.

nIt turned out that in Shen Xi’s eyes, her life and his life were not as important as Meng Yu’s.

nGuan Lei covered his face and laughed louder and louder. His voice was filled with the sadness and pain of being betrayed. Xue Li was scared and sad. It was the first time he had seen his young master like this, desperate and sad.

nXue Li could not help but send a message to Shen Xi and ask, “Ms. Shen Xi, why did you lie to us?”

nShen Xi sat on the office chair in the study, staring blankly at Xue Li’s text message. She was trying hard to recall if she had lied.

nShen Xi did not reply to Xue Li. She just felt that something was wrong, so she got up and walked out. The light footsteps were heard on the stairs, and then she heard the sound of conversation.

nWas it Zhao Yuan and Gu Chen?

nShen Xi did not want to disturb the two of them, so she sat on the stairs a little dejectedly. She felt that something was wrong with her, but she could not figure it out.

nWhen Zhao Yuan saw that Li Zhe and the other person had already left for a while, she wanted to go up and take a look, but Gu Chen suddenly asked, “Are you very familiar with the Guan family? Are Xi and Guan Lei dating?”

nZhao Yuan thought for a moment and said, “We’ve known each other for a few months. Guan Lei is our classmate, but we’re not very close. Otherwise, we would know that Guan Lei is Young Master Guan. He and Xixi are in a

nrelationship. It’s not officially announced, but everyone in the class saw them kissing.”

nGu Chen blinked his eyes slightly and said with a little disappointment, “I see. Then I might have to stay away from you guys in the future..”
