Chapter 591 - 591: Marriage
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Hmph, it’s just a marriage alliance. Everyone gets what they want. What do you want to like or not? You were already so old. You shouldn’t be so naive. If you’re not satisfied, you can raise one outside.” Ye Long’s eyes were filled with mockery, and her expression carried an emotion that even Ye Yu could not understand.
Raising one? Did this come from the mouth of that lady who had been elegant all her life? Ye Yu was shocked. She felt that her aunt’s mental state was a little abnormal.
However, there was one thing that she was right about. It was just a marriage alliance. As long as she had the title of Mrs. Li, it didn’t matter if Li Zhe liked men or women.
Speaking of which, wouldn’t it be better if Li Zhe liked men? At the very least, she wouldn’t have to create a bunch of illegitimate children who would fight with her for the family assets, right?
Thinking of this, Ye Yu’s mood became a little more optimistic. Life was only comfortable when the scale was enlarged.
Ye Yu stood up and tidied up her clothes. Then, she said with a smile, “l understand now. Then I’ll go back first. Take care of your health too.”
Ye Long waved her hand and looked at Ye Yu’s relaxed figure. Suddenly, she felt a little envious. Ruthless would not be jealous, nor would she be bound.
If she had treated marriage as a collaboration, she wouldn’t have tortured Guan Yi and herself. Now, she was still locked in this courtyard and couldn’t be free.
Ye Yu walked out of the courtyard and turned to look at the slowly closing courtyard door and the bodyguards inside and outside. She couldn’t help but sigh. She thought that her grandaunt might be like this for the rest of her life.
She sighed. Ye Yu turned around and saw Guan Lei standing not far away. He could be considered her cousin. She smiled and greeted him before following the guide out.
Guan Lei stood at the entrance of Ye Longs courtyard for a while before coming to Guan Yi’s study.
“Grandfather, you were looking for me?” Guan Lei looked at Guan Yi, who was sitting on the mahogany armchair indifferently.
Guan Yi remembered what he had to say later and softened his attitude towards Guan Lei. “Sit down first. grandfather has something to talk to you about.’
Guan Lei nodded and sat quietly at the side.
“Lei’er, what’s the situation between you and Shen Xi? Are we separated now?” Guan Yi didn’t raise his head. He asked carefully while making tea.
Guan Lei didn’t know why Guan Yi suddenly asked about him and Shen Xi, so he answered honestly, “I’ve already passed the past with her.”
Guan Yi nodded and poured some tea into Guan Lei’s teacup. He then looked up at Guan Lei and said, “l think so. 1 want Meng Yu and Shen Xi to have a marriage alliance. What do you think?”
Guan Lei’s hand, which had just picked up the teacup, suddenly trembled. The boiling tea spilled on his fingers and instantly turned red.
Guan Yi looked at Guan Lei, who was obviously scalded but still refused to let go. He sighed and said, “Lei’er, you know about Ah Yu’s current situation. I think that he can only live a peaceful life if he is with Shen Xi.”
How could Guan Lei not understand this logic? However, he still asked a little unwillingly, “Even if Dad takes over the Guan family, I can still protect Meng Yu, right?”
Guan Yi pursed his lips and exhaled helplessly. “Those are your parents. If you go against your parents for Ah Yu, it won’t be good for you and the Guan family. But Shen Xi didn’t care about her and the two families. As long as she protected Ah Yu, Ah Yu would be safe and sound for the rest of his life.”
Guan Lei’s eyes, which were originally colorless, became even dimmer. After a while, Guan Lei said with a slightly bitter tone, “I understand. This was pretty good. Anyway, Xi and I are no longer related.”
Guan Yi felt sorry for Guan Lei. He could tell that Guan Lei hadn’t let go of his feelings, but there were some things that he needed to clarify.
“In the future, you can’t call her Xi. According to seniority, you should call her aunt. Of course, I won’t make things difficult for you. You can call her Miss Shen, Shen Xi, or Mrs. Meng.” Guan Yi didn’t dare to look Guan Lei in the eye, so he lowered his head and said.
To prevent his nephew and his uncle from snatching his woman in the future, Guan Yi could only bite the bullet and seriously explain Shen Xi’s future identity to Guan Lei so that Guan Lei would know his limits.
Guan Lei clenched his teeth tightly. His body tensed up and his eyes reddened uncontrollably. He did not even have the right to call her Xi.
Aunt? Mrs. Meng? Hahaha, if that’s the case, it’s better to never see each other again..
