Chapter 795: Alumni Senior Gu
Gu Chen explained the purpose behind everything he did very logically. For example, why he investigated his second uncle, how he knew about these things, why he suddenly went to S Nation, and how he knew that Meng Yu was being pursued.
"But, he’s your second uncle. Why would you tell me all of this? You know, if things are really as you say, I might be inclined to take action against your second uncle!" Shen Xi fixed her gaze firmly on Gu Chen across from her.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, he is my second uncle. But what if my second uncle wants to harm me? Xi, in the world of prestigious families, sometimes familial bonds are nothing but a luxury. I might even be a target of his terrorist organization."
Shen Xi let out a gentle sigh. Gu Chen was not wrong. In the face of immense interests, familial ties often become as fragile as dust in the wind.
"Xi, you can consider my actions today as a gesture of allegiance. I informed you of my second uncle’s intentions today. First of all, I genuinely want to do you a favor. I hope you won’t treat me like a snake in the grass," Gu Chen chuckled self-deprecatingly as he said this.
Shen Xi picked up her teacup again, avoiding Gu Chen’s gaze.
She did not necessarily want to treat Gu Chen this way. It was just that even if Gu Chen and Meng Yu were not enemies, there was a deep-seated feud between him and the Guan family.
Since she had decided to be with Guan Lei, it was only natural that she could not have too close of a relationship with Gu Chen, nor could they be friends.
