Guan Lei handed the document to Xue Li and said eagerly, “Xue Li, take a look at what’s written on it. What’s the name of the art museum?”
Xue Li glanced at the document in her hand and replied obligingly, “Yes, Young
Master, it’s the Three Stones Art Museum. It was named after you by the Old Master.”
Guan Lei leaned back on the chair; his mind filled with unease. No wonder he had not been able to find the art museum in his dream. It had not been built yet.
So, what did that dream really mean? Could it be a premonition of future events?
Was the emaciated figure of Shen Xi in the dream actually Xi in the future? Why did Xi end up like that? And why was she holding a bomb? Why did she want to blow up the art museum?
And what about Li Zhe and Meng Yu in the dream? What was their involvement?
Guan Lei felt a throbbing headache. These strange occurrences entangled his thoughts like a jumbled ball of yarn, and he could not make sense of them.
A ridiculous thought crossed Guan Lei’s mind. Could it be that Xi would have a tough time with Meng Yu in the future?
For example, Xi and Meng Yu got married, but Meng Yu cheated on Xi with Li Zhe. Xi refused to get a divorce, so Meng Yu and Li Zhe tormented her. And that was why Xi carried a bomb to kill Li Zhe and Meng Yu?
And on that day, he happened to have made an appointment with Li Zhe at the “Three Stones Art Museum,” so he was mistakenly targeted.
Xue Li did not know what was the issue with the document, or why Young
Master became so agitated all of a sudden. Perplexed, she asked, “Young Master…”
Guan Lei interrupted Xue Li, “You may step out.”
Xue Li placed the document in front of Guan Lei, nodded, and then left.
The room fell into silence, with only Guan Lei’s heavy breathing due to a headache. The thought of Shen Xi being betrayed by Meng Yu and leading such a miserable life in the future caused utter distress and discomfort in Guan Lei.
Back then, when he acquiesced to Xi’s wish, why did he not consider the situation with Li Zhe and Meng Yu?
If Meng Yu liked men, what would happen to Xi?
Guan Lei opened a drawer and took out the phone he had put away. His finger hesitated for a long time near the power button but lacked the courage to press it.
When he finally made up his mind to turn it on, he discovered that the battery was dead.
The courage he had mustered up was instantly deflated, just like a punctured ball.
Guan Lei let out a heavy sigh, picked up the charger, and started charging the phone.
Just then, Li Jin’s voice resounded from outside.
“Young Master, I have something to discuss with you!” Li Jin disregarded Xue Li’s attempts to stop her and yelled from outside the door.
“Miss Li, Young Master is resting. Please keep it down,” Xue Li said bluntly.
Li Jin glared at Xue Li, suppressing her anger, and said, “Xue Li, I really have something important to discuss with Young Master today. By stopping me like this, you’re preventing Young Master from knowing something.”
Xue Li, unfazed by her words, continued to stand guard at the door and coldly replied, “Unless Young Master gives the order, I won’t let you in.”
Annoyed by Xue Li’s rigidness, Li Jin shouted through the door, “Young Master,
Shen Xi has found a new boyfriend. Don’t you want to know who it is?”
Xue Li quickly covered Li Jin’s mouth. Young Master had already made it clear that he did not want to know about Shen Xi’s affairs.
Besides, there was no need for Xue Li to inform Young Master about Miss Shen Xi’s new boyfriend. It would only stab at Young Master’s heart, would it not? However, Guan Lei’s voice echoed from inside the room, “Xue Li, let Li Jin in.”
Xue Li looked at the triumphant Li Jin and reluctantly released her hand, watching as this obvious troublemaker entered the room.
Once inside, Li Jin immediately put on a pleasant smile and gently said, “Young Master, are you feeling well?”
Guan Lei did not look at Li Jin or respond to her greeting. “You said earlier that Shen Xi has found a new boyfriend, is that true?” he asked, his voice deep and cold.
Hearing Guan Lei bring up Shen Xi’s matter as soon as he spoke, Li Jin felt a little upset. But considering that Shen Xi already had a new boyfriend, Li Jin’s mood lightened up slightly.
If Guan Lei knew his ex-lover could move on so quickly, he would not hold onto his attachment to Shen Xi anymore.
Li Jin approached Guan Lei and said, “Yes, they even went skiing in the neighboring province. I have a video. Do you want to see it?”
Guan Lei still kept his head down and with a choked voice, he said, “Send it to me..”
