“Why?” Zhao Yuan asked in confusion.

“The Gu family has a grudge against the Guan family. My parents were forced to death by the Guan family. My legs were paralyzed for ten years because of the Guan family. Just because the Guans think that the Gu family killed Guan Lei’s brother, Guan Miao.”

Zhao Yuan was instantly dumbfounded. This was a life debt. They would fight to the death even if they met.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuan  instantly felt a little scared. At that time, the three of them went to Gu Chen’s ball. If Gu Chen wanted to make a move, would she be taken as a member of the Guan family?

Zhao Yuan looked at Gu Chen with fear in her eyes, which made Gu Chen laugh. “What are you afraid of? My enemy is the Guan family, not you.”

Zhao Yuan awkwvardly smiled and asked curiously, “Then why didn’t you kill Guan Lei when he went to your house?”

“It was my birthday that day, and Guan Lei came as your friend. How could I hurt him?” Gu Chen chuckled. If I had made a move back then, wouldn’t I have lost you and Xi, these two good friends?”

“You meant losing Xi as a good friend only right?” Zhao Yuan saw through Gu Chen’s thoughts and teased him.

Gu Chen did not answer directly. He just looked at the stairs casually and then retracted his gaze. “For both of your sakes, I didn’t touch him, but I teased him a little.”

Zhao Yuan widened her eyes curiously. “What did you do to him?”

“Guan Lei thought I was deliberately getting close to Xi.” Gu Chen smiled. “So I lied to him by saying that, yes, I wanted to hurt Xi and take revenge on him. He was going to take Xi away, but I threatened him with some information about his grandfather when he was an official. He could either choose his grandfather’s innocence and give up on saving Xi, or he could choose Xi and let his grandfather be tainted.”

Zhao Yuan was slightly taken aback. Guan Lei’s sudden departure from the ball had already revealed Guan Lei’s final choice. Guan Lei had chosen his grandfather’s innocence and left Shen Xi in a place where he could be hurt at any time.

Zhao Yuan’s hands and feet were slightly cold. She asked tentatively, “If, and I mean if, you didn’t know Xi first, would you really hurt her?”

Gu Chen thought for a moment and said, “If it were someone else, I would. Guan family hurt the people I care about, so I naturally won’t let go of those related to the Guans. I’m not a saint. As long as I can make Guan Lei suffer, I might do something to hurt him. But…”

Gu Chen paused and turned his gaze to the stairs. Then, he chuckled and looked away. “There are no ifs in this matter. I fell in love with Xi the first time I saw her. So even if I didn’t know Xi from the start, even if I met Xi for the first time at the ball, I wouldn’t have done anything to her.”

Shen Xi, who was sitting on the stairs, was slightly stunned. At this moment, her mind was already in a mess.

Shen Xi had never thought too much about what happened at the ball that day. She never thought that there would be such a thing. No wonder Guan Lei pretended to be unwell that day and did not want to get out of the car. So that was the reason.

“You can’t tell Xi about this. Otherwise, I’m afraid she’ll be sad. She was thrown into the enemy’s encirclement by the person she liked and faced the danger of being hurt at any time. It should be a very difficult thing to let go of.” Gu Chen instructed Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan  nodded. She was not in a good mood either.

She could not help but imagine what would have happened if Shen Xi had not met Gu Chen, who liked her, but another pervert? Then wouldn’t Shen Xi be finished for the rest of her life? She might be locked up, beaten, tortured, lose her innocence, and suffer humiliation…

Zhao Yuan shook her head and forced herself not to think about what had not happened.

Zhao Yuan knew that Guan Lei was only protecting his family. Even if it were her, she might not be able to make a decision. But she also knew that the CP she supported had already turned cold in her heart.

Guan Lei did not care about Shen Xi’s safety. This fact had already taken root in

Zhao Yuan’s heart.

“Hmph, I was thinking of reminding Guan Lei about his cousin’s intention to hurt him, but now that I think about it, I’ll let him suffer some punishment. “Zhao Yuan said a little angrily.

When Shen Xi heard Zhao Yuan’s words, she instantly sobered up a little. She stood up and ran down.. She looked at Zhao Yuan and asked, “Guan Lei’s cousin has some evil intentions?”
