Chapter 774: It Doesn t Matter If You Offend Me

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu Shans words concealed deeper meanings, which made Shen Xi grow a bit cautious about Gu Chen.

Gu Chens eyes reflected a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt. President Lu, you jest. Were friends who get along well, so theres no need to worry about offending each other.

Gu Chens gaze softened as he turned to Shen Xi, speaking with sincerity, Moreover, even if Xi did something to offend me, I wouldnt mind. As long as shes willing, she can offend me as much as she likes. After all, true friends are hard to come by, and I value our relations.h.i.+p.

Shen Xi mustered a forced smile and subtly averted her eyes from Gu Chen, a gesture that left him feeling somewhat disappointed.

Qian Tong chimed in, Miss Shen Xi, can you spend more time with our Young Master Gu? He doesnt have many friends, and his family consists of just a handful of people. No one has visited him until now. Yesterday, you two went through some hards.h.i.+p together, which makes your bond special, doesnt it?

Gu Chen lowered his gaze and softly reprimanded Qian Tong, Why are you

saying that? Xi has her own matters to attend to.

Shen Xi nodded repeatedly, addressing Qian Tong, Thats right. Ive been quite busy lately, and most importantly, I cant be of much help here.

She then turned to Gu Chen and said, You take care of yourself, try to get discharged soon. Ill come to visit you again.

Gu Chen had only declined out of courtesy, but Shen Xi rode on his response to excuse herself without any ambiguity, much to Qian Tongs surprise.

Qian Tong silently mourned for Gu Chen, as it was clear that Shen Xi held no special affection for him.

Upon hearing Shen Xis words, Gu Chen felt a twinge of disappointment but managed to smile and replied, Alright, Ill take good care of myself and look forward to your visit.

In the searing intensity of Gu Chens gaze upon Shen Xi, she felt the heat and quickly grasped her parents hands, saying, Mom, Dad, werent you about to discuss the matter of those three thieves with Gu Chen?

Shen Yan handed a file to Gu Chen and continued, Weve located those thieves, and our team has investigated. They appear to be just petty criminals. Do you have any additional information to share, considering youre the primary victim in this case?

Since President Shen has already handled the investigation, we should go along with your findings. I trust your judgment, Gu Chen said as he gently pushed the file away.

Well head back home for now. We express our grat.i.tude once again for President Gu e s courageous actions, Shen Yan maintained his professional smile as he spoke.

Dont mention it. Qian Tong, could you escort President Shen and his family out? Gu Chen turned to Qian Tong.

No need, its just a short walk. You should take care of President Gu, Shen Yan declined and left with Lu Shan and Shen Xi.

As Shen Xi disappeared from sight, the beaming smile on Gu Chens face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and chilling expression.

Shen Yans familys att.i.tude seemed to imply suspicion of Gu Chens involvement in the matter.

Although Gu Chen knew it was true, he could not help but feel uncomfortable. No one should come between him and Shen Xi.

Shen Xi did not go home. Instead, Lu Shan brought her to the Lu Corporation, drawing the attention of many employees along the way.

Could that person with pink hair be a.s.sistant Shen? Its a bit flashy, dont you think? someone whispered.

But she looks quite attractive. Beautiful people can pull off anything, even pink hair.

Hearing the chatter, Shen Xi wished she could find a place to hide.

Once inside the elevator, Shen Xi turned to Lu Shan, her eyes pleading. Mom, can I take a day off today? I want to dye my hair back.

Lu Shan looked at Shen Xis pink hair and said disapprovingly, Isnt it quite nice? Why would you want to change it back? Besides, your aunt did this for you. If you change it back, shell want to take you to get it done again next time. Its too much trouble. Just leave it as it is.

Shen Xi had not expected that her family would be more adaptable to trendy styles than she was.

In the afternoon, Shen Xi was overwhelmed by a pile of doc.u.ments as usual.

Feeling miserable, she took the materials and headed straight to find Lu Lin.

At the Rongying drama set, while taking a break and awaiting Shen Xis visit, Lu Lin noticed a pink head peeking out. He was about to tease, but then the pink head turned, causing Lu Lin to spew out his drink in surprise..
