“Do I have a boyfriend?” Shen Xi widened her eyes in surprise.
Gu Chen immediately replied, “No! You two used to date, but you broke up.” “Is what he said true?” Shen Xi turned to look at Shen Yan and Lu Shan.
Lu Shan furrowed her eyebrows awkwardly. Logically speaking, Gu Chen was right. Shen Xi and Guan Lei had indeed broken up, and they had yet to reconcile officially.
“It’s true,” Shen Yan sighed.
Shen Xi’s expression became more serious. She said thoughtfully, “Then it seems that I like him very much. Otherwise, why would I be so sad that I lost my memory? Am 1 right?”
Shen Yan and Lu Shan didn’t answer. To be honest, they didn’t want their daughter to grieve over a dead person.
Gu Chen lowered his eyes slightly. He looked at the fruits on the table with thoughtful eyes. Then, he pushed the fruits to Shen Xi and said softly, “Xi, if you want to see Guan Lei for the last time, I can go with you.”
Shen Yan immediately widened his eyes and looked at Gu Chen. He thought he had heard wrongly.
The Guan Family’s main bloodline had been uprooted. Wouldn’t Gu Chen be courting death if he went there now?
Back then, Guan Miao was killed by the Gu family. Now, Guan Lei’s death was also related to the Gu family. Even if Gu Chen said that he was not directly involved, it was definitely not the case in the eyes of the Guan family.
Therefore, if Gu Chen went to the Guan family, if anyone there lost their mind and wanted to die with Gu Chen, Gu Chen would never be able to leave the Guan family.
In Shen Yan and Lu Shan’s eyes, if someone hurt Shen Xi, they would make him pay with his life.
Shen Xi’s gaze fell on Gu Chen. She asked suspiciously, “Although 1 don’t have any memory of this, but from what you had said just now, you should be the enemy of the Guan family. Aren’t you afraid that they will kill you?”
“I’ll go if you want me to.” Gu Chen smiled indifferently.
Gu Chen did not answer. He just expressed his attitude.
Shen Xi looked at Gu Chen. Then, she smiled darkly and said, “Okay, when I go, you come with me!”
Shen Yan and Lu Shan looked at each other and saw confusion and astonishment.
The news about Guan Clan spread like wildfire in a short period of time. When the main branch of Guan family was cut off, all kinds of forces started to emerge. Everyone wanted to be the next heir of Guan family.
Meng Yu who had drugged Guan Lei had been captured by the Guan family and sent to prison. There were people guarding him at all levels.
The situation was rather chaotic, and no one knew what was going on.
However, in the battle between the Guan family and the Liu family, everyone could see that the Guan family was losing.
First, the general supported by the Guan family was shot dead. Then, the only heir of the Guan family was charged for betraying the country. Now, the adopted son of the Guan family drugged and killed the heir of the Guan family.
Everyone couldn’t understand why Meng Yu would do such an inconceivable thing as Guan Yi’s godson.
It was very strange.
However, Guan Lei’s death had caused the public to shift their attention from the Guan family’s betrayal to the death of heir.
Some people even began to suspect that Guan Lei had been framed for selling the national secrets.
Otherwise, why would someone want to kill Guan Lei? Was he afraid that Guan Lei would reveal the real traitor?
The public’s opinion had changed from suspecting that the Guan family to believing that there was a foreign force which was framing the Guan family. They wanted to fool the people and force the Guan family so that they could achieve their goal.
Therefore, before the selection of the new general, the people were divided into two factions.
One faction doubted Guan family, while the other supported them.
Among these noises, someone started spreading the news that Meng Yu was Guan Yi’s biological son.
This news instantly exploded like a bomb and broke the silence.
No one expected that such a highly respected old chief to have a misconduct in his personal life.
Guan Yi was a retired veteran. With such a scandal, the news became very big and alerted the higher-ups. They sent someone to investigate about this.
In that case. the Guan family’s incident received a lot of attention too.
Meng Yu’s motive to kill Guan Lei suddenly became reasonable. It was a fight between the rich families..
