Not only Jiang Xue and Xia Huang, but most of those at the scene also walked towards the young man. However, the young man was quickly surrounded by security guards, not allowing anyone to get close.
Zhao Yuan also pulled Shen Xi over into the gathering crowd. She asked the young lady beside her curiously, “Who is that person? What an arrogant look.”
The young lady beside her didn’t even turn her head and replied in a disdainful tone, “Young Master Guan, you don’t even know this?”
When Shen Xi heard the name ‘Young Master Guan’, she was taken aback. So that young man was the client, ‘San Shi’, who had asked her to be a gunner. He didn’t look like someone to be trifled with.
Fortunately, at the Rong City Cup, she exposed the fact that Young Master Guan was looking for a gunner, and this ‘San Shi’ didn’t pursue it.
However, for some reason, Shen Xi felt that this Young Master Guan’s form was a little familiar.
“So he’s that Young Master Guan. He does look quite young. What’s his name again?” Zhao Yuan turned to ask Shen Xi, but Shen Xi also shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know either.
However, the young lady who had just answered the question turned her head and looked at Zhao Yuan with a questioning look, “Young Master Guan’s name is Guan Lei. If you don’t even know that, why are you here to compete?”
Zhao Yuan’s eyes instantly widened and she turned to look at Shen Xi. “It’s
Brother Lei?”
Shen Xi finally knew who the back view of Young Master Guan looked like. Wasn’t it Guan Lei? Suspicion rose in Shen Xi’s heart.
“Don’t tell me you think that that person is Guan Lei?” Jiang Xue, who had been squeezed out, looked at Shen Xi and sneered.
“It’s none of your business who I think it is. Jiang Xue, you’d better stay away from me. Otherwise, I won’t be talking to you so calmly.” Shen Xi looked at Jiang Xue with disgust.
If it hadn’t been for Jiang Xue’s scheming, she wouldn’t have experienced such dirty things in her previous life and wouldn’t be repulsed by those scenes from time to time.
Jiang Xue knew that now was not the time to have a conflict with Shen Xi. She was the Xia family’s cousin now, while Shen Xi was still a poor girl.
As the saying went, those who had more to lose had more to fear. If Shen Xi decided to act recklessly and disregard her, she would be the one to suffer the greatest losses.
Jiang Xue glared at Shen Xi coldly, as if to vent her anger.
Shen Xi did not want to be pushed around and slowly retreated to the back. Her gaze turned to the big screen that was playing the scene in real time.
Shen Xi carefully sized up the youngster on the screen. When she saw that the youngster wasn’t holding onto the rubber band she had given to Guan Lei, her suspicions were dispelled.
Just then, Guan Lei’s video call request came in.
Shen Xi picked it up immediately. On the other end of the video call, Guan Lei was grinning and calling out to Xi sweetly, “Xi, I’m here to say good night to you.”
Shen Xi glanced at the youngster on the big screen, who was sitting on the main seat with his legs crossed, then turned back to the video on the phone, where Guan Lei was smiling brightly. All her suspicions disappeared.
Shen Xi tried to avoid the crowd as she faced the camera and said to Guan Lei,
“You’re saying good night so early today.”
Guan Lei was shocked by Shen Xi’s face. “Xi, what’s wrong with your face?” Shen Xi had almost forgotten the makeup on her face, so she explained, “I came to participate in a…masquerade party, so I’ve changed my appearance.”
Guan Lei caught on to the main point in Shen Xi’s words and immediately said sourly, “No wonder it’s so noisy over there. Anyone can participate?”
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei, who was obviously jealous, and said, “It’s just a ball for a group of girls.”
Shen Xi looked at the group of girls before her and felt that she hadn’t said anything wrong.
When he heard that they were all girls, Guan Lei was obviously relieved. However, he suddenly remembered the matter between Li Zhe and his male lover, and his expression turned serious.
“Girls can’t get too close to eacn otner,” Guan IRI said solemnly.
Guan Lei felt that it had been a wise move to arrange for Zhao Yuan to stay in another room.
Zhao Yuan and Shen Xi were usually so close, and Shen Xi was so beautiful. What if?
Just as Guan Lei was lost in his thoughts, a slight noise caught his attention.
“Xi, I still have something on. Let’s talk later.” Guan Lei hurriedly hung up the call.
Before Shen Xi could say ‘Okay’, she saw the screen indicating that the call had been disconnected.
Shen Xi sensed that something was amiss. Guan Lei wasn’t usually like this.
Forget it. Since Guan Lei had something urgent to attend to, she could understand. She was just not used to it..
