Chapter 774: It Doesn’t Matter If You Offend Me
Lu Shan’s words concealed deeper meanings, which made Shen Xi grow a bit cautious about Gu Chen.
Gu Chen’s eyes reflected a hint of amusement. "President Lu, you jest. We’re friends who get along well, so there’s no need to worry about offending each other."
Gu Chen’s gaze softened as he turned to Shen Xi, speaking with sincerity, "Moreover, even if Xi did something to offend me, I wouldn’t mind. As long as she’s willing, she can offend me as much as she likes. After all, true friends are hard to come by, and I value our relationship."
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 doesn’t 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 hardship together, which makes your bond special, doesn’t 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, "That’s right. I’ve been quite busy lately, and most importantly, I can’t be of much help here."
She then turned to Gu Chen and said, "You take care of yourself, try to get discharged soon. I’ll come to visit you again."
