“So, Xi you’re a child of the Shen family and the Lu family?” Zhao Yuan belatedly repeated. Then, her eyes suddenly widened as she exclaimed) “Xi! Oh my god! You, you, you, isn’t this too scary?
Zhao Yuan looked at Shen Xi and shook her head in disbelief. “I originally thought that you were the young lady of the Jiang family and that we were of equal status. But later, I found out that your family is a farmer. I think that’s fine too. We’re good friends and have nothing to do with family background.
Later on, when you bought a house in Beijing, I thought you were just an ordinary rich family.”
“And now, you’re telling me that you’re actually a member of the four great clans? You even had two families as your backers! Wasn’t this too complicated? Why does it feel like a dream?” Zhao Yuan slapped her face, trying to wake herself up.
Shen Xi looked at Zhao Yuan’s mischievous face and could not help but laugh.
Seeing Shen Xi smile, Zhao Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Originally, she was going to go back to Rong City directly this time, but Shen Xi’s mother called and said that Xi and Guan Lei had broken up. She was not in a good mood recently, so she came directly to Beijing and even brought Huang Min along.
When she saw Shen Xi’s pale face just now, Zhao Yuan felt terrible in her heart. Indeed, love hurts.
Fortunately, Shen Xi was smiling now.
“No matter what happens to my family, I’m still me. I’m your childhood sweetheart, Shen Xi.” Shen Xi smiled faintly.
Zhao Yuan put one hand on her waist and held Huang Min with the other. She nodded and said, “That’s true. What was that saying? If you are rich, don’t forget each other. Xi, we want to eat something delicious tonight. You have to take us there. Isn’t that right, Min?”
Huang Min nodded and said, ‘Yes, its not easy to catch a little lamb with money. It’s not right not to take advantage.”
“Alright, state whatever you guys want to eat.” Shen Xi laughed.
After bringing Zhao Yuan and Huang Min to have a good meal, Shen Xi came back to arrange their accommodation.
Zhao Yuan’s parents had already returned to Rong City. Naturally, Shen Xi would not let Zhao Yuan stay in the hotel alone.
Moreover, Zhao Yuan’s results in this competition were not bad. She could choose a school in Beijing for another interview, so Shen Xi asked Zhao Yuan to stay for a while longer and choose a school.
Shen Yan and Lu Shan only returned home after making arrangements for the two of them. Shen Xi pulled the two of them to the study and said, “Dad, Mom, have you done something to the Guan family in the past two days?”
Shen Yan and Lu Shan instantly became unnatural. One turned his head away and scratched his ear, while the other pulled up her non-existent fringe in an attempt to fool her.
“I’ll handle the matter between me and Guan Lei myself. I don’t want it to escalate into a conflict between our families.” Shen Xi sighed.”
Lu Shan sighed. Her Xi was still soft. Thinking of how Xi had been lying motionless, Lu Shan felt that she had the urge to strangle Guan Lei.
Shen Yan and Lu Shan had the same thoughts. However, considering that Guan Lei had been injured while trying to save Shen Xi, they had only punished him a little. They did not expect her to find out.
“There’s also Grandpa, Grandma, Grandfather and Grandmother. I hope Dad and Mom can help me ease the tension. I’m not someone who will let myself suffer. Dad, Mom, don’t worry and let me do it myself.” Shen Xi said with a serious expression.
The couple could not persuade their daughter, so they finally compromised.
“Xi, I just want you to be happy.” Lu Shan held Shen Xi’s hand and said, “As long as you’re happy, I’ll promise you anything.”
“Mom, I will. Don’t worry about me.” Shen Xi nodded.
Raising a child was 100, worrying 99. As parents, how could they not worry? After sending her parents out, Shen Xi let out a long sigh and took out the necklace that Guan Lei had given her.
That day at the banquet, Shen Xi, who was in a fit of anger, forgot that there was a necklace around her neck. Looking at this necklace now, Shen Xi had mixed feelings in her heart.
After putting the necklace in a box, Shen Xi had someone send it back to Guan Lei.
When Xue Li was checking the contents of the box, he saw the necklace, and he felt terrible.
This was what Young Master gave to Ms. Shen Xi. Now that Ms. Shen Xi had returned it, could it be that Young Master and her were really going to end it like this?
Xue Li hesitated at the door for a long time. He could not think of any other way, so he just handed the necklace over to Guan Lei.
Guan Lei looked at the necklace that had been sent back and a bitter smile appeared on his face. “Put it down and go out.”
Xue Li looked at Guan Lei, who had his eyes closed, sighed, and walked out of the room. In the past two days, he had sighed many times. It was obvious that he had aged a little..
