Yu couldn’t help but say, “Shen Xi, you know that cousin has passed away. Why are you clamoring for him to come out now? Don’t go too far!”

“You’re Guan Lei’s cousin?” Shen Xi turned to Ye Yu and smiled.

Ye Yu felt that there was something wrong with Shen Xi in front of her and asked tentatively, “Are you drunk? Don’t you know very well who I am? Back then, you were the one who caused a ruckus at my engagement party and took Meng Yu away. Why? It’s been a long time since we last met. Don’t you remember the ridiculous things you did?”

Shen Xi shook her head and thought for a moment before asking, “Did I steal your man? Meng Yu? You and Meng Yu? No! Isn’t Meng Yu with Li Zhe?”

Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi’s dazed look and said, “Miss Ye, Xi drank too much. It’s not suitable for us to catch up today.”

Ye Yu looked at Shen Xi suspiciously.

Su Rui didn’t expect that Shen Xi would be so arrogant as to cause trouble at Ye Yu’s engagement party. Previously, it was Guan Lei who had protected Shen Xi, so she had always thought that Shen Xi was a young miss who was not very presentable.

“Xi, let’s go back, okay?” Gu Chen lowered his head slightly and whispered into Shen Xi’s ear.

Shen Xi nodded at Gu Chen in a daze and then forgot about Ye Yu and the others.

Gu Chen gently took Shen Xi’s hand and left under the angry Su Rui, Ye Yu’s confusion, and everyone’s curious gazes.

“l think there’s something wrong with Shen Xi.” Ye Yu looked at Shen Xi’s back and said in confusion.

“What’s wrong?” Su Rui asked angrily. Wasn’t he just drunk and crazy?

Naturally, they are different from normal people.”

When Su Rui said this, she gritted her teeth in anger.

Ye Yu shook her head and said, “I’m not too sure. I just feel weird. I feel like

Shen Xi is looking at me like a stranger.”

Ye Yu couldn’t think of any reason. In the end, she could only throw her thoughts out of her head. She looked at Su Rui’s face a little carefully and asked, “How is it? Will your face hurt?”

Then, Ye Yu asked the waiter to get a bag of ice cubes for Su Rui to reduce the swelling on her face. Shen Xi’s slap just now did not decrease in strength at all. Just listening to the crisp sound of the slap, one could imagine how painful her face was.

Su Rui covered the ice. “l used to think that Shen Xi was a cultured person. Now it seems that I was wrong. She hit someone in front of everyone. She’s simply going too far.”

“Alright, don’t go against Shen Xi now. Shen Xi can be said to be doing whatever she wants in the entire Imperial Capital now. Don’t go and have a conflict with her on the surface.” Ye Yu advised earnestly.

Fang Jiao stole a glance at Ye Yu, then lowered her head and looked at the ground silently.

It seemed that the relationship between these rich ladies was only so-so. If Ye Yu cared about Su Rui, Ye Yu would not have pulled her back when she went to stop Su Rui just now.

Ye Yu wanted someone to blame Shen Xi, so she let Su Rui provoke Shen Xi.

However, Fang Jiao felt that Ye Yu’s actions were understandable.

The Ye family and the Guan family were in-laws. If the Guan family fell, the Ye family’s status in the capital would decline, and it would not be just a little bit.

Therefore, Ye Yu must have some resentment towards Shen Xi. However, Ye Yu did not dare to provoke Shen Xi so forcefully. Now that Su Rui had stepped forward, Ye Yu was naturally happy to see it.

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about Shen Xi anymore. It’s bad luck to talk about this kind of person. I wonder what Guan Lei liked about her in the past.” Su Rui was still a little angry.

“Okay, okay, then I won’t talk about it.” Ye Yu replied.

“I’m very worried about the Guan Family’s situation. Grandpa Guan is being investigated. 1 don’t know if Uncle Guan and the others can handle the situation.” Su Rui said worriedly.

Ye Yu sighed slightly. “Naturally, it’s not optimistic. Now that my cousin has passed away, I’m afraid my uncle and the others are under a lot of pressure. If they don’t choose a successor, I’m afraid Uncle and the others will be kicked out by the Guan Family elders.”

Fang Jiao was shocked. She did not expect the situation to be so dangerous. She subconsciously said, “Then, Uncle Guan should still be able to give birth, right? Moreover, didn’t he have an illegitimate child? What does he say now?” Fang Jiao was curious, but when she asked, the other two looked at her with disdain..
