n“Don’t be rash. Lees wait until Xi wakes up.” Zheng Huai held back the crowd.

nShen Xi slowly opened her eyes and looked at the glaring white ceiling above her. She was still in a daze and did not know where she was.

nWhen Lu Lin saw Shen Xi open her eyes, she immediately said happily, “She’s awake, she’s awake.”

nIn an instant, a group of people surrounded Shen Xi i s bedside. Zheng Huai quickly said, “Don’t surround her so tightly. You have to maintain ventilation so that she can breathe smoothly.”

n“What are you doing? What happened to me?” Shen Xi asked in confusion.

n“The doctor said that you fainted from anger,” Lu Shan said with red eyes. “Xi, did Guan Lei bully you? Tell mother, and I’ll help you vent your anger.”

nShen Xi’s expression darkened, then she forced a smile and said, “I’m fine. You don’t have to worry. It has nothing to do with Guan Lei.”

n“How can I be fine? When you were lying motionless just now, mother was scared to death. If something happens to you, what will happen to mother?” Lu Shan wailed.

n“Xi, don’t be afraid. Tell grandfather, did you get bullied in the Guan family by Guan Lei? Grandfather will bring you there to bully him back.” Shen Hui said angrily with his eyes wide open.

n“That’s right, Xi, we’re not afraid. That kid made you faint from anger, and

nGrandpa will make his entire family faint from anger.” Lu De said indignantly.

n“I’m really fine, and it has nothing to do with Guan Lei.” Shen Xi smiled helplessly. “I’ve long separated from him.”

nShen Luan and Lu Fei looked at each other and sighed.

nShen Xi knew that she could not convince the elders of the two families, so she could only say, “Promise me that you won’t find trouble with Guan family. I want to do it myself to vent my anger.”

nShen Xi’s words received the unanimous agreement of everyone. “Alright, Xi. If you need anyone, just let Grandfather know.”

n“Yes, Xi. Grandpa supports you. Our Xixi is not that easy to bully.” “Grandma’s strong arms are for you to lean on. Xi, go ahead and do it.” “That’s right. No matter what you do, Grandmother will support you.” “Cousin also supports you. See if that kid dares to bully others in the future.”

nShen Xi smiled helplessly. It was a good thing that she did not grow up in Beijing. Otherwise, according to the situation of these two families protective tendencies, she would probably be able to do whatever she wanted in Beijing.

n“Okay, I know. I won’t mistreat myself.” Shen Xi said warmly.

nIt was fine. It was just a man. If he was gone, so be it. She still had so many family members who cared about her. Thinking about it, she was really useless. She actually fainted from anger. If she said it out, she would be laughed at.

nShen Xi) who woke up, quickly returned home. She finally persuaded everyone to leave, but Gu Chen came to her door.

nShen Yan and Lu Shan greeted Gu Chen, and then the two of them went upstairs tactfully.

n“Xi, I heard that you fainted, so I came to see you. How are you? Are you alright?” Gu Chen placed the fruit basket on the table and asked worriedly.

n“Thank you, but I’m fine.” Shen Xi’s voice sounded distant.

nGu Chen frowned and asked, “You’re getting more and more polite today. Is it because of my confession yesterday? Xi, I only like you. Do you have to push me away like this?”

nShen Xi knew very well that her distance from Gu Chen was not only because of Gu Chen’s confession yesterday but also because of the matter with Guan

nLei today.

nShe was not someone who opened her heart easily, especially in her previous life when she had been so heartbroken. In this life, she was even more cautious.

nShe did not expect that she would end up like this when she finally wanted to accept someone. She instantly felt that it was boring.

nShen Xi smiled faintly and said, “I’m also quite stubborn. If I don’t like you, I don’t like you. So, I can only apologize.”

nGu Chen sighed slightly and said, “You have nothing to be sorry about. However, I’m also a rather stubborn person. If I like someone, I like her. It’s not that easy to change.”

nShen Xi smiled slightly. It seemed like someone had said the same thing to her before. In the end, they still broke up just like that. There was nothing that would not change.

nFor the next three days, Gu Chen appeared around Shen Xi on time like an alarm clock every day. Shen Xi was almost annoyed to death.

nHowever, seeing that Lu Shan and Shen Yan liked Gu Chen very much, Shen Xi could only reluctantly let Gu Chen appear in her life.

n“Xi, I found Meng Yu’s location.” Gu Chen appeared again and said with a smile.

n“Where is he?” Shen Xi asked with interest..
