308 Guan Lei Who Was Confused

Guan Lei laughed drily and didn’t say anything else.

Zheng Huai was shocked by Guan Lei’s silent agreement. Lu Lin did not know Guan Lei’s identity, but Zheng Huai did.

He was Young Master Guan of Beijing. Whoever dared to speak to Guan Lei in such a weird tone would probably be lying on the ground in the next second. No one would be like Lu Lin, who was still sitting there and glaring at Guan Lei.

Zheng Huai looked at Shen Xi and shook his head. Young Master Guan had compromised for love.

!!

Shen Xi smiled and tried to smooth things over. She even ordered another meal to be served to comfort his two cousins, who had suffered a heavy blow to their hearts. Guan Lei enthusiastically poured drinks for Lu Lin and Zheng Huai throughout the entire period and even turned the dumbwaiter for them.

Zheng Huai was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off. Guan Lei had been cold and indifferent to him, but now, he kept smiling at him. This was indeed rare.

Zheng Huai thought that if he went back and told others that Young Master Guan poured him a drink and even smiled at him, everyone would probably say that it was his wishful thinking.

Zheng Huai ate the food that Guan Lei had given him with excitement. If he were not afraid Guan Lei would smash his phone in anger, he would have taken a picture of his glorious moment.

Seeing that Guan Lei’s attitude was alright, Lu Lin felt much better.

The meal was finally finished with everyone having their thoughts.

Guan Lei sent Shen Xi back to her dormitory and said a little embarrassedly, “I’m embarrassed to let you spend so much money today.”

The first was the meal with Shen Xi, then the meal he had with Zheng Huai and Lu Lin.

Shen Xi glared at Guan Lei. “Why are you being so polite?”

When Guan Lei heard Shen Xi say there was no need for formalities, he was instantly happy. He felt that Shen Xi’s words were a little intimate, and their relationship had become closer.

Shen Xi couldn’t understand why Guan Lei was so happy suddenly. He was such a fickle boy.

Guan Lei bade Shen Xi farewell happily and hummed a little tune as he returned to the dormitory.

After Shen Xi returned to the dormitory, she picked up the three million in cash she had hidden on the bed and examined it carefully. It didn’t seem fake.

At night, Guan Lei finally sensed that something was amiss when he returned to the dormitory. Lu Lin and Shen Xi’s mother had the same surname, Lu. Hence, it was understandable that Shen Xi and Lu Lin were cousins. Lu Lin should be the child of Lu Shan’s brother.

However, Zheng Huai was Chen Xi’s cousin. It meant Shen Xi’s parents were related to Zheng Huai’s parents.

Zheng Huai’s mother was from the Shen family in Beijing, and his father was from the Zheng family in the same city.

Shen Xi’s surname was Shen. Logically speaking, she should be a child of the Shen family, meaning she should call Zheng Huai’s mother the aunt.

However, Old Master Shen only had a son and a daughter. The elder daughter was Zheng Huai’s mother, while the younger son had been abroad and was still single. That did not make sense.

Therefore, Shen Xi shouldn’t be a child of the Shen Group. It made sense then. If Shen Xi was the daughter of the Shen family, how could she be so poor?

Since Zheng Huai was not a relative of Shen Xi’s father, he must be a relative of Shen Xi’s mother. Therefore, Shen Xi’s mother should be a sister of Zheng Huai’s mother, or perhaps, Shen Xi’s mother should be a sister of Zheng Huai’s father.

However, Zheng Huai’s mother’s surname was Shen, while Shen Xi’s mother’s surname was Lu. It was a contradiction. Zheng Huai’s father’s surname was Zheng, while Shen Xi’s mother’s surname was Lu. It was also a contradiction.

So how could Zheng Huai be Shen Xi’s cousin?

Guan Lei was so immersed in his thoughts that he couldn’t get out. He even suspected that he had miscalculated Shen Xi’s family relations.

In the end, Guan Lei came up with the most likely scenario- Shen Xi’s father was a fallen relative of the Shen Group.

With that thought, Guan Lei finally felt his mind calm down a little.

However, before he could rest well, his roommate, Sun Yi, raised his phone and shouted, “Brother Lei, bad news! Sister-in-law is on the hot search of the school forum again.”

Guan Lei furrowed his brows. Shen Xi had just been accused of being a kept woman this morning. It had only been less than half a day since she was clarified, so why was she on the hot search again?

Sun Yi panted as he said, “Someone revealed on the forum that Shen Xi stole the 3 million Yuan that Jiang Xue left in her dormitory. They even took a photo of Shen Xi beside the dormitory table. There were indeed a few stacks of cash on the table. Many people are saying that they’re going to call the police.”

Guan Lei’s head started to throb. He knew very well that the money was given to Shen Xi by Li Zhe, but the key was that no one else knew.

This was already the umpteenth time today that Guan Lei wanted to strangle Li Zhe.

“Look, Jiang Xue also spoke about this matter.” Sun Yi’s eyes were fixed on the phone screen as he beckoned Guan Lei to look at it together.
