“It’s in the room next door. It won’t take up too much of your time.” Ye Long’s eyes were indifferent, but her tone was still strong.
Shen Xi nodded at Ye Long and said, “Alright.”
Lu Shan turned her head unhappily. Shen Xi quickly comforted her, “Mom, it’s okay. There are so many people here.”
Lu Shan looked at Ye Long and finally compromised. “Alright, I’ll let you go and chat for ten minutes. If you’re not back in ten minutes, I’ll go in.”
Shen Xi nodded and followed Ye Long into the room. She said, “I wonder what you want to talk to me about.”
Ye Long looked at Shen Xi, who was neither servile nor overbearing despite her worried expression and was not frightened by her aura. She thought highly of her.
“I just want to ask Miss Shen, when you fell off the cliff, did Meng Yu push you or Lei ‘er?” Ye Long asked Shen Xi in a certain tone.
“No, he didn’t push me. He just let go of my hand.”
“You didn’t push him? Miss Shen, are you sure? Meng Yu is my husband’s illegitimate son. He has always coveted the Guan family’s assets. You said that he didn’t push you. How can it be such a coincidence? Could it be that you and Meng Yu are in cahoots and are working together to kill Guan Lei and steal his wealth?”
Shen Xi’s eyes were filled with anger. She did not expect Guan Lei’s grandmother to be such an old woman who made things up. Immediately, she raised her voice slightly and said, “Old Madam, you better have evidence. I can be sure that I don’t have any cooperation with Meng Yu.”
“Ah!” Ye Long snorted coldly. “Nothing? Then why have you been looking for
Meng Yu? You knew Meng Yu before, didn’t you? Then, he happened to be with Lei ‘er, and coincidentally, when Lei’ er was with the two of you, he fell off the cliff. Too many coincidences are intentional.”
Shen Xi was completely shocked. This old lady knew how to think.
Before Shen Xi could retort, Ye Long continued, “Ten years ago, Meng Yu said that he didn’t do it on purpose. In the end, he killed my eldest grandson. After ten years, you said you didn’t mean to appear at the scene of my grandson falling off the cliff. When my two grandsons were in trouble, he was at the scene. Miss Shen, do you think this is a coincidence?
Shen Xi was slightly taken aback. With Meng Yu l s identity and his appearance at the scene of the accident twice, it was indeed unreasonable. However, Shen Xi knew very well that she and Meng Yu had never conspired.
Ye Long’s light voice continued, “It’s very simple to prove that you didn’t collude with Meng Yu to kill Guan Lei. As long as you say in front of everyone that you saw Meng Yu push Guan Lei with your own eyes, won’t you be able to clear your name?
Shen Xi instantly understood why Ye Long had insisted on saying that she and Meng Yu had joined forces to harm Guan Lei. The old lady was threatening her. If she did not do as the old lady said, the old lady might just pour the dirty water on her.
Shen Xi’s voice was slightly cold. She looked at Ye Long fearlessly and said,
“Old Madam, you don’t have to scare me. Guan Lei knew very well whether Meng Yu had pushed Guan Lei or not. Also, I won’t do anything to slander others just to get rid of my suspicion.”
Ye Long narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a half-smile, “Miss Shen, it’s best if what you say is true. I hope that when someone asks, you can still insist that Meng Yu suddenly let go of your hand. If I discover that Miss Shen’s words are not true and are biased toward Meng Yu, then I will not be polite.”
Shen Xi watched as Ye Long arrogantly opened the door and left. She was not in a good mood either.
When she followed her out, they met the attending doctor who had just come out of the emergency room. The group of people immediately went forward and waited nervously for the doctor’s words.
“The external heavy blow caused internal bleeding and a hemorrhage shock. The internal organs have already stopped bleeding. You have to fast and receive anti-inflammatory treatment for the next two to three days.” The attending doctor said.
Shen Xi felt extremely guilty. If Guan Lei had not protected her, he would not have been injured so badly.
Shen Xi followed Guan Lei’s bed to the VIP ward. However, the moment she entered, she was stopped by Ye Long.
“Miss Shen is also injured. Why don’t you go back and recuperate? We can take care of the Guan family’s children ourselves.” Ye Long said bluntly.
Shen Xi knew that Ye Long didn’t trust her and even hated her, so she didn’t argue with her. She whispered to Xue Li, “If Guan Lei wakes up, you must tell me..”
