Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi’s pleading eyes. He thought for a while and finally said, “Okay, I’ll help you!’

“Thank you, Chen!” Shen Xi’s fierce expression softened a little as she smiled sincerely.

Shen Xi didn’t ask how Gu Chen would help her. She lowered her head and ate the prawn that Gu Chen had peeled for her.

Shen Yan and Lu Shan, who were sitting opposite, looked at Gu Chen with serious expressions. They did not think that Gu Chen would help Shen Xi save

Meng Yu.

Gu Chen and Meng Yu had a feud.

Therefore, neither of them knew what Gu Chen was thinking.

After the meal, Shen Yan secretly pulled Gu Chen to the side and whispered, “Gu Chen, tell me honestly. What are you going to do? Meng Yu is your enemy.

Do you really want to help Meng Yu?”

Shen Yan was thinking about his daughter, who had lost her memory.

Shen Xi had lost her memory now. No one knew if she would recover in the future.

Just like how her memories were altered by hypnosis, the situation had changed completely.

If Shen Xi recovered her memory later on and got to know that Gu Chen failed to save Meng Yu, then she would feel very guilty.

Therefore, Shen Yan wanted to find out.

“Uncle, you’re right. I don’t want to help Meng Yu, but if Xi wants me to do it, I’ll be willing to put aside my hatred and do it.” Gu Chen brushed Shen Yan’s hand away and looked at Shen Yan seriously. “What I want is very simple. I’m just too lonely. I want to be with Xi. Therefore, I’m willing to pay a price for this.”

“But she doesn’t want to be with you. You know that!” Shen Yan said in a low voice.

Gu Chen lowered his head and smiled, then said, “She didn’t want to be with me before because she met Guan Lei first. She even distanced herself from me because of the grudge between me and Meng Yu. But now it’s different. I can reconcile with Meng Yu. Besides, she only remembers me now, and Guan Lei is already dead, isn’t he? Uncle, it’s too cruel for Xi to miss a dead person for the rest of her life.’

Shen Yan didn’t agree with what Gu Chen said earlier, but he agreed with Gu Chen’s last sentence.

He also didn’t want Shen Xi to spend her entire life thinking about a dead person. He didn’t want Shen Xi to be depressed for the rest of her life and not be able to love anyone. This was indeed too cruel.

As parents, they were usually more selfish towards their children.

No matter how good Guan Lei was, they would not want their daughter to be trapped in the pain of losing her loved one for the rest of her life.

Gu Chen stood in front of Shen Yan and put away his usual fake smile. He said with a serious face, “l know what 1 look like to you. I’m a scheming, sinister, and cunning tiger. I’m unscrupulous and ruthless.”

Shen Yan felt embarrassed that his thoughts had been read. However, he did not show it. He looked at Gu Chen with a cold aura and sneered. “It’s good that you know.”

“Of course I know.” Gu Chen laughed at himself. “But Uncle, my parents died young, and my old grandfather couldn’t protect me. Other than my aunt, the Gu family was full of wolves. Everyone had their eyes on my position, especially during the ten years when I was in a wheelchair. I was forced to face all kinds of threats. If I don’t do this, how can I protect myself? If I were a little weaker, kinder, and more indecisive, I think I would have long disappeared from this world.”

Shen Yan sighed slightly. Fourteen years ago, Gu Chen was only 13 years old when his legs were broken.

“Wealthy families are full of troubles, but even if you suffer too much, it’s not a reason for you to hurt my daughter.” Shen Yan said in a deep voice.

“Uncle, I know I’m despicable, but I have no ill intentions towards Xi. If one were to say that 1 have nine evils and one kindness, then the only kindness I have is when I face her and those she cares about. Therefore, even if it is Meng Yu, I would let go of my hatred and won’t hurt her. As long as it’s what Xi wants, I’ll do it.” Gu Chen looked at Shen Yan sincerely.

Shen Yan’s eyebrows were furrowed. He did not comment on Gu Chen’s words. He only said in a warning tone, “Xi is the only one we care about. I don’t care how beautiful your words are. If you dare to harm her, I won’t let you off. You better not be the one who hypnotized Xi. Otherwise, I’ll get back to you sooner or later..
