Rebirth: The Fake Young Lady Is A Real Young Lady

Chapter 951 Gu Chen Showed Up

When Gu Chen heard Shen Xi's voice, his initial indifferent expression softened as he spoke, "Xi, I'm worried that Guan Lei's situation might affect you, so I brought some people to enhance your security."

Guan Jiu, standing outside, disdainfully cast a sidelong glance at Gu Chen, as if taking a mere look at him was inauspicious.

Qian Tong stepped forward and questioned, "What's with that expression?"

"What expression? Can't you see that I'm disapproving of your unnecessary actions? Miss Shen Xi has the protection of the Guan family. Gu family can forget about it!" Guan Jiu bluntly stated.

Considering the urgency of the situation, Guan Jiu refrained from saying anything provocative. Otherwise, he would have verbally attacked the other party without hesitation.

Even so, the people from the Gu family were still angered.

Qian Tong, ready to confront Guan Jiu, was intercepted by Gu Chen before he could take a step.

Gu Chen, with a calm expression and a touch of elegance that was almost enchanting, said, "This is Shen Xi's home. Don't cause trouble."

Facing Gu Chen's ever-smiling face, Qian Tong had no choice but to step back.

At this moment, Shen Xi's voice came through the intercom at the door, "No need. We've already strengthened our security here. You don't need to trouble yourself."

Shen Xi's voice carried a clear sense of detachment, and she didn't even open the door. This defensive stance made Gu Chen uncomfortable; the feeling was terrible, and it irked him.

Especially seeing Shen Xi accepting people from the Guan family but rejecting his, her differential treatment made Gu Chen's already twisted heart even more sinister.

Yet, the angrier Gu Chen became, the more radiant his smile appeared. He spoke in a calm and unruffled manner, "In that case, I'll take my leave. Xi, take care of yourself in these days. You know, the current situation is a bit chaotic, and I'm really worried about you."

As there was no evidence proving that the Gu family was supporting the Liu family faction from behind, Shen Xi couldn't say much and only expressed her gratitude, urging Gu Chen to take his leave.

With a smile, Gu Chen said, "Alright, since Xi asked me to leave, I'll go. Send my regards to your parents."

Shen Xi casually responded, and Gu Chen left with his entourage. 

As Gu Chen sat in the car, his originally gentle and warm eyes were instantly covered with frost.

This sight frightened Qian Tong in the front seat; he dared not even turn his head or glance back.

Though he hadn't been Gu Chen's assistant for long, he could see Gu Chen's feelings for Shen Xi.

Whenever he met Shen Xi, Gu Chen's expression was always extremely gentle, full of warm smiles and joy.

While Gu Chen would smile in front of others, the two smiles were entirely different.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The former was a genuine care, while the latter was a desire for someone's demise.

Now, Gu Chen was clearly mad, incredibly mad. After all, he was rejected by the girl he loved, especially in front of his rival's subordinate.

It was quite humiliating!

Qian Tong quickly lowered his head and cowered in the passenger seat, urging the driver to hurry back.

In the back seat, Gu Chen relaxed, leaning against the backrest. He gently closed his eyes, contemplating how to handle the situation with Shen Xi.

He had invested considerable effort into manipulating Shen Xi's memories, aiming to prevent her from avoiding him and ultimately severing her ties with Guan Lei. This wasn't the outcome he desired.

If Guan Lei simply died and disappeared from Shen Xi's sight, perhaps the hypnosis on Shen Xi wouldn't lose its effect.

Ultimately, the problem lay with Guan Lei.

Guan Lei should have disappeared long ago!

It wasn't too late to make it happen now. Once Guan Lei was out of the picture, he could have Shen Xi hypnotized again.

Whether it was genuine or not didn't matter. As long as Shen Xi stayed by his side, with her eyes and heart focused on him, everything would be fine.

After seeing off Gu Chen, Shen Xi immediately began sending people to secretly investigate Meng Yu's whereabouts.

She couldn't openly inquire for fear that someone might trace her actions and find out where Meng Yu was.

Shen Xi couldn't rest easy without any leads on Meng Yu. So, this was the only course of action available to her.

However, before she could locate Meng Yu, she heard the news of someone poisoning Guan Lei's medicine.
