In the video, Meng Yu was walking in Shen Xi’s shadow, holding her hand and running in the ski resort. A smile unexpectedly spread across their lips as he gently brushed the snow off Shen Xi’s hair.
Guan Lei’s eyes reddened, and an indescribable sourness filled his heart, weighing down on him. He kept his head down for a long time, stubbornly watching the video over and over again, as if to confirm its authenticity.
Li Jin looked at the silent Guan Lei, unsure of what he was thinking. She approached him and said, “Young Master, this Shen Xi wasted no time in finding her next conquest, did she? Looking at their chemistry and natural interaction, one who didn’t know better might assume they have been together for a long time.”
Li Jin’s words got under Guan Lei’s skin. Despite their relatively brief acquaintance, Meng Yu was the person who had captured Shen Xi’s heart.
Recalling the time when he pursued Shen Xi, he confessed, but Shen Xi did not immediately accept him. She kept making excuses, saying she wanted to wait until graduation.
However, Shen Xi and Meng Yu confirmed their relationship shortly after they met. The contrast between the one who was loved and the one who was not was starkly evident. The one who was not loved will forever lack the favor they desire.
Li Jin knew that Guan Lei must be feeling miserable right now. After all, he had just broken up with his girlfriend, and she already found a new boyfriend. Such a blow to a man’s heart carried immense weight, particularly considering the possibility of Shen Xi having been unfaithful during their relationship. It was a devastating hit to his self-esteem.
Making matters worse, Li Jin continued, “My cousin said they are very close, maybe they have been together for a long time. Young Master, I’m very worried about you. You unintentionally became the other man. Shen Xi has gone too far. On the surface, she appears well-behaved, but she plays around like this in private. Young Master, she seduced you even when she had a boyfriend.
Perhaps she already knew your identity and wanted to extort money from you. She’s greedy and vain, such a disgrace…”
“Shut up!” Guan Lei shouted before Li Jin could finish speaking, and Xue Li immediately entered the room.
Li Jin was instantly silenced and stood cautiously to the side.
Guan Lei cast a chilling gaze at Li Jin and berated, “No matter what Shen Xi is like, it’s not your place to meddle. And Shen Xi didn’t seduce me; I took the initiative to pursue her. If I hear you defaming her again in the future, don’t blame me if I show no mercy.”
Seeing that Guan Lei was truly enraged, the image of him almost strangling her to death resurfaced in Li Jin’s mind, filling her with anger and fear.
“Throw her out,” Guan Lei handed the phone back to Li Jin and coldly commanded Xue Li.
Li Jin did not expect to be treated like this after helping Guan Lei see through Shen Xi’s true nature. “Young Master, how could you do this? I was just looking out for you, worrying about you. How could you…”
Li Jin voiced her grievances loudly, but Xue Li callously dragged her out, and the room fell quiet once again.
Guan Lei looked at his charging phone and unplugged the charger with a cold and empty gaze.
Since Shen Xi had already chosen Meng Yu, there was no need for him to disturb them anymore.
As for the matter between Meng Yu and Li Zhe, Guan Lei chose to help Shen Xi resolve it. It appeared that Grandma was forcing Li Zhe to get married. Well then, let Meng Yu and Li Zhe break up, and Meng Yu would be fully committed to Shen Xi and remain by her side.
In the future, he would keep an eye on Li Zhe and would not let him disturb Shen Xi’s happiness.
After chasing Li Jin out of the villa, Xue Li returned to the room, and Guan Lei instructed, “Xue Li, demolish the Three Stones Art Museum. Completely demolish it, leaving no traces behind.”
Since Shen Xi used a bomb to commit suicide in the art museum he owned, without the Three Stones Art Museum, there would not be any incident of Shen Xi getting killed by an explosion.
Guan Lei stubbornly chose to protect what he believed to be Shen Xi’s love through his radical means.
Xue Li asked in confusion, “Young Master, why? Even if you don’t like painting and calligraphy, there’s no need to demolish it, right? Besides, it was a gift from your grandfather. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to do this?”
Guan Lei simply said in a low voice, “I told you to demolish it, so do it.”
Xue Li let out a soft sigh and, following the orders, arranged for people to head to Rong City and demolish the art museum, which had not yet received its official opening. Even the interior decorations were stripped away by Xue Li.
Guan Lei turned on his computer, intending to delete Shen Xi and Meng Yu’s whereabouts from the internet to prevent the Guan and Sun families from finding Meng Yu’s traces. However, he discovered that someone had already wiped out all traces of them.
Guan Lei smiled bitterly. Well, Shen Xi belonged to both the Shen and Lu families. Such a small matter was no feat for her..
