Chapter 312 - 312 Grandpa's Roar
312 Grandpa’s Roar
Guan Lei could only purse his lips and nod. There was no point in denying it now that things had come to this.
Zhao Yuan was confused. “But according to my sources, Li Zhe doesn’t have any sisters. So what’s the relations.h.i.+p between your mother and Li Zhe?”
Li Jin, who was standing at the side, suddenly couldn’t help but laugh. It made everyone look at her. Li Jin’s face instantly turned red in embarra.s.sment.
It wasn’t that Li Jin wanted to laugh, but Li Zhe was her cousin. Now that Li Zhe was Guan Lei’s uncle, so in terms of seniority, she was one generation higher than Guan Lei. Guan Lei had to call her ‘aunt’.
Li Jin explained, “I just thought that my nephew is quite cute, so I couldn’t help but laugh. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t disturb my gossip.” After Zhao Yuan finished speaking to Li Jin, she asked Guan Lei, “So, what’s the relations.h.i.+p between your mother and Li Zhe?”
Guan Lei quickly sorted out his relations.h.i.+p with Li Zhe in his heart, and thus successfully circled himself back in. In the end, he could only vaguely say, “My mother is Li Zhe’s distant cousin, so I should call Li Zhe uncle.”
Zhao Yuan looked at her phone and nodded. “No wonder your family is so poor but your uncle’s family is so rich. It seems that they are distant relatives.”
Li Jin, who was standing at the side, almost couldn’t hold it in any longer. She hurriedly said that she would leave first and then left in a hurry.
As expected, one could not lie. A lie needed thousands of lies to cover it up.
Shen Xi couldn’t help but chuckle. She could tell that Guan Lei had been trying his best to make up his ident.i.ty.
After the happy ending, Jiang Xue, who was in the hotel, saw the news on the forum and felt terrible.
How could Guan Lei be Li Zhe’s nephew? Was it Li Zhe from Li Industries? Was it the boss of Meng Yu, the one who had caused the Jiang family to go bankrupt? Was it the Li Industries that even the Xiang family had to give way to?
Jiang Xue was so regretful. She bit the corner of the blanket angrily. If she had known that Guan Lei had such an ident.i.ty, she would have gotten him a long time ago. She would not have left the chance to Shen Xi.
Shen Xi must have found out about Guan Lei’s ident.i.ty by chance, so she deliberately got close to Guan Lei. As expected, Shen Xi was a scheming person!
Shen Xi, who was being criticized for being a scheming person, was currently packing the jade stones and three million Yuan. She stuffed them into Guan Lei’s hands and said, “You take these back. They’re too expensive. I don’t dare to accept them.”
Guan Lei looked at the bag in his hand. “But there’s no reason to take back something that has been given away.”
“I don’t want it anyway. You can do as you see fit.” Shen Xi threw the question to Guan Lei.
Guan Lei sighed and could only accept his fate as he dragged the stones and the three million Yuan back to his dormitory.
Before he could even catch his breath, Grandpa Guan called him. Guan Lei put down the bag and found a quiet place.
As soon as Guan Lei picked up the phone, Grandpa Guan’s roar came from the other end of the phone. “B*stard! I asked you to learn drawing, but you’re trying to cheat me! I’ve lost all my face for you! Do you know that I don’t even dare to go out to socialize now? Those old guys are laughing at me about this…”
Guan Lei moved the phone away from his ear to avoid being hurt by his grandfather’s high-pitched voice.
When Grandpa Guan’s voice gradually became softer, Guan Lei said, “Grandpa, I know you’re angry, but didn’t you already know that I’m not interested in painting? If you didn’t force me to learn it, I wouldn’t have asked for help.”
Grandpa Guan didn’t know what to say, but he still said, “Then you should at least let me know! I even went around showing off your paintings. I’ve lost all my face now. How am I going to keep a foothold in the painting and calligraphy circle in Beijing?”
“Alright, it’s my fault. I admit my mistake, okay? Isn’t your birthday coming soon? I’ll bring you a big gift when I return to the birthday banquet this time, okay?” It was rare for Guan Lei to have the patience to coax Grandpa Guan.
On the other end of the phone, Grandpa Guan heard that Guan Lei was coming back and quickly said, “Forget it. You’d better not come back.”
Guan Lei’s face darkened. “It’s been so many years. I’m not brother. I can protect myself.”
A sigh came from the other end of the phone. Grandpa Guan’s voice wasn’t as strong as before, but a little heavier. “I can’t relax as long as the person behind this isn’t caught. Your grandmother is right. We’ve already waited for ten years. How many decades more do we have? We might as well expose the malefactor.”
