Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The next Sunday, Shen Xi had a good sleep and woke up naturally. Then, she brought Zhao Yuan and Guan Lei to have breakfast before they started to do their homework. In the afternoon, she picked out a set of clothes for Guan Lei.
Then, the three of them headed to the party.
The moment they entered the Gu Manor, Guan Lei’s expression turned serious. He turned to Shen Xi and asked, “What’s your friend’s name?
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei whose expression was slightly off and replied, “Gu
Chen. Why? You don’t look well. Are you feeling unwell?”
Guan Lei shook his head, then he nodded and said, “My stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Xi, can you accompany me back home?
Guan Lei did not know why the Gu family had invited Shen Xi. Was it a normal invitation? Or was it a deliberate attempt to approach him after finding out about his relationship with Shen Xi?
Two days ago, when Guan Ba and Guan Jiu reported this matter, he had sent people to investigate. They had not found any concrete evidence that Gu Chen would hurt Shen Xi.
However, there was one thing that Guan Lei was sure of. Gu Chen had not celebrated his birthday since ten years ago. Why would he suddenly celebrate his birthday when Shen Xi was here? Wasn’t it a little fishy?
Guan Lei was not sure what Gu Chen was up to, but it was obvious that this birthday party was not that simple. Therefore, he could only stop Shen Xi from getting close to Gu Chen.
When Shen Xi heard that Guan Lei was not feeling well, she immediately called out to the driver, “Mister, please stop for a while.”
After saying that, Shen Xi looked at Zhao Yuan who was sitting in the front passenger seat and said, “Yuan, Guan Lei is not feeling well. I’ll go back with him. Are you okay alone?
Zhao Yuan thought that since Shen Xi wasn’t going, she didn’t want to go since she was unfamiliar with the place. She replied, “Then I’ll go back with you. I’ll just apologize to him later.”
However, she thought of how sincere Gu Chen was when he invited them that day. Would it be bad if all of them fail to attend?
Thinking about how such a beautiful person would be disappointed, Zhao Yuan changed her mind.
In the end, Zhao Yuan sighed and said, “Forget it, I’ll go. When Guan Lei is better, just send a message to let me know. I’ll get off here.”
“Alright.” Shen Xi nodded and said, “Be safe and don’t cause trouble. Oh right, help me give this gift to him.”
Zhao Yuan nodded and got out of the car. Before she could close the door, she met Gu Chen in a wheelchair.
Gu Chen’s eyes were delighted as he said in a light voice, “You guys are here.” “Yeah,” Zhao Yuan said awkwardly.
Initially, Shen Xi wanted to leave quietly. But in the end, she decided to come out and say hello before she left. Otherwise, it would be a little strange if she left without saying a word.
Shen Xi asked Guan Lei to sit inside before getting out of the car.
“Gu Chen, I’m sorry. My friend who came with me suddenly felt unwell. I have to send him back to see a doctor.” Shen Xi said apologetically.
Shen Xi noticed when she said that, Gu Chen’s originally happy eyes were instantly dull with a hint of disappointment.
Shen Xi felt a little sorry. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Chen said, “I have a family doctor at home. Why don’t you let him take a look at your friend? You know me well, so rest assured that the doctor I hired is very experienced.”
Shen Xi’s eyes lit up as she opened the car door and said to Guan Lei, “Guan
Lei, there’s a doctor at Gu Chen’s house. Do you want to let him examine you?
The moment Guan Lei looked up, he met a cold gaze. At that moment, it was as if a fierce tiger had met a vicious snake. The two evenly matched enemies had officially met for the first time.
Gu Chen looked at Guan Lei. His tone was gentle, but his expression was provocative as he said, “Instead of spending time going to the hospital, why don’t you listen to Xi and stay for a check-up? What do you think?”
Guan Lei tidied up his clothes, then put Shen Xi’s hand on his shoulder and got out of the car. He said to Gu Chen with a smile, “It’s okay. It could be gastritis.
I’m much better now.”
Shen Xi heard about Guan Lei’s condition and sighed helplessly. Then, she said with a slight reproach, ‘You keep getting gastritis. Look at you. You don’t take good care of yourself..”
