Jiang Xue gritted her teeth and exclaimed, “l told you guys to do it! Are you all deaf? Whoever doesn’t move, I’ll have them beaten to a pulp today.”

Once Jiang Xue finished speaking, the security guards had no choice but to muster their courage and move toward Jiang Xue and Fang Jiao.

With fierce determination, Fang Jiao shielded Jiang Xue beneath her, letting the security guards rain punches and kicks upon her while she clenched her teeth, enduring the pain.

Feeling satisfied with the way things were going across from her, Shen Xi turned her gaze toward Zhao Yuan and Guan Bo. She then spoke to Lu Fei, “Take them to the hospital.”

Lu Fei nodded and turned to Zhao Yuan, saying, “Miss Zhao Yuan, let me handle this.’

With that, Lu Fei helped Guan Bo to his feet and began to leave.

Just then, a slightly chilly voice cut through the air. “What’s all this commotion about?”

Everyone turned their heads in unison.

Seeing that it was Gu Chen, Gu Ning rushed over to him in a flurry, tears streaming down her face as she clutched onto the hem of his trousers. She pleaded with a touch of melancholy, “Cousin, please help me. Someone wants to kill me.’

Beside her, Fang Jiao was dazed by the beating. Knowing that Gu Chen had come to back up Gu Ning, an overwhelming surge of emotions overcame her, causing her to faint.

Gu Chen merely peered down at Gu Ning, a girl brought back by the uncle of the second branch from nowhere. His gaze then shifted, landing on Shen Xi, his face softened into a gentle smile.

Shen Xi looked at Gu Chen with indifference and smiled faintly. “What? Are you here to back up your little sister?”

“Xi, don’t crack me up. My parents only had me, so where would I get a little sister? Besides, even if I were here to back someone up, it would be you, Xi,” Gu Chen replied with a light-hearted tone, but his words inexplicably unsettled Gu Ning.

It turned out that in Gu Chen’s eyes, the relatives of the Gu family were not as important as Shen Xi.

At this moment, Jiang Xue felt a touch of regret. When she first saw Gu Chen, she should not have mocked him for being a cripple. If she had shown him the same respect as Shen Xi did back then, would Gu Chen now be standing up for her instead of defending Shen Xi?

As Jiang Xue was momentarily consumed by regret, another voice rang out, its tone contrasting the coldness of Gu Chen’s voice with an air of dominance. “Young Master Gu, there’s no need for you to concern yourself with Xi.”

Guan Lei walked up to Shen Xi’s side, pulling her close to him and giving Gu Chen a fierce look, continuing, “Of course, it’s not your place to worry about my woman. ”

Shen Xi discreetly pinched Guan Lei’s waist, but he grabbed her hand and held it firmly.

Shen Xi was fuming with anger at Guan Lei’s shameless words. His woman? Could anyone have a thicker skin?

But in front of everyone, she gave Guan Lei a bit of face and did not pull away.

In an instant, Guan Lei felt fireworks blossoming in his heart. Not only did Shen Xi not push him away, she even let him hold her.

His earlier air of gloom immediately dissipated, replaced by a lifted mood and even a revitalized complexion.

The people behind them shifted their gazes away from the couple – some looked up at the sky, others down at the ground, and a few fiddled with their fingers. Not a single one dared to glance at their entwined hands.

Gu Chen’s smile remained undiminished, but beneath the smile lay a frosty chill. “Hasn’t Young Master Guan been involved in blind dates for the past four years? 1 heard you’ve been getting close to the young miss from the Li family lately. I thought a match between the Guan and Li families was in the works. Or was I mistaken?”

Guan Lei’s face stiffened. Indeed, his mother had arranged quite a few blind dates and social gatherings for him over the past four years, but he truly did not attend a single one.

Guan Lei turned to Shen Xi in a panic, biting his lip and looking utterly wronged. “Xi, it’s not true. Gu Chen is accusing me. He’s tarnishing my reputation. Please stand up for me.”

Shen Xi cast Guan Lei a disapproving look, then addressed Gu Chen, “Since you’re not here to back up your little sister, we’re leaving. My friend’s friend seems to be seriously injured.”

“Sure!” Gu Chen said warmly. “Let’s go out for a meal sometime.”

Guan Lei’s grip on Shen Xi’s hand suddenly tightened, seemingly a warning.

Shen Xi squeezed her hand in defiance. She glanced at Guan Lei’s eyes with a challenging look, then turned to Gu Chen and said, “Alright, I’ll be in touch.” Gu Chen smiled as he nodded to Shen Xi and walked away, not even bothering to glance at the person at his feet.

Initially, he had heard about Gu Ning bullying Shen Xi at the club, so he came with the intention of getting closer to her. However, it seemed he had miscalculated..
