Chapter 189: Negotiations
Shen Xi explained the situation to the security guard, doubtful of Guan Lei’s claims. She prepared to go back to bed after she had settled the matter.
With Guan Lei’s injury to his back, Shen Xi did not dare to cover him further up than his waist. She then lay on the bed next to him.
Guan Lei’s grip on Shen Xi’s hand tightened as she drew closer. He closed his eyes, bliss overtaking his features.
Once he was sure Shen Xi was asleep, Guan Lei picked up his phone and sent a text to Xue Li.
He left her a message, instructing her to handle matters regarding the assault on him and Shen Xi.
Not knowing all that had transpired, Jiang Xue smirked in smug satisfaction. She said to Su Ni, "You did well. I’ll ask my father to lend the Su family a hand and give you all an opportunity to cooperate."
Su Ni balled her hands into fists that shook at her sides. She wanted to shove Jiang Xue to the ground and beat her up, but she maintained an obsequious smile on the surface. "Thank you, Jiang Xue. You’re such a good person!"
Jiang Xue snorted coldly, strutting away in arrogance. Su Ni’s eyes were red, and she had trouble stopping herself from crying.
