Rebirth: The Fake Young Lady Is A Real Young Lady Novel - Chapter 314

314 Don’t Take Risks

This was the first time Meng Yu had been called good-looking by a boy, and he instantly blushed. He nodded at Li Zhe with an unnatural expression and then left in a hurry.

Li Zhe reached out and wanted to stop Meng Yu, but his phone suddenly rang.

Li Zhe picked up the phone, but he couldn’t help but follow Meng Yu. “Dad, what’s wrong?”

“Young Master Miao is being followed in Hai City. Quickly arrange for someone to pick him up.” The urgent and anxious voice on the other end of the phone made Li Zhe stop in his tracks.

!!
It was this pause that made Li Zhe feel remorseful and blamed himself for ten years.

The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Li Zhe’s thoughts.

“Who is it?” Li Zhe put the photo back into his inner pocket.

“It’s me!”

Hearing Meng Yu’s voice, Li Zhe immediately stood up and let him in.

As soon as Meng Yu entered, he asked anxiously, “I’ve received news that Guan Lei is going back to attend Guan Yi’s birthday banquet. It’s a trap, right?”

Li Zhe closed the door and walked toward Meng Yu. He nodded and said, “Yes. Grandpa Guan is planning to lure the malefactor out.”

Meng Yu asked anxiously, “What about Guan Lei? He…”

Before Meng Yu could finish his sentence, Li Zhe immediately explained, “Lei isn’t going back, that’s just a substitute. Don’t worry, Grandpa Guan won’t let Lei take any risks.”

Hearing Li Zhe’s explanation, Meng Yu finally relaxed. After a moment of silence, he raised his head and said to Li Zhe, “I’m going back to Beijing. Help me avoid the eyes of the Guan family on the road.”

Meng Yu looked at Li Zhe with pleading eyes. He wanted to catch the person behind the scenes, for himself, and Guan Miao.

“No, I can’t. I won’t allow you to take any risk.” Li Zhe directly rejected Meng Yu’s plea.

“But I…” Meng Yu still wanted to say something, but he was once again denied by Li Zhe.

“I know you’ve always wanted to take revenge for Miao. But once you return to Beijing, not only will the person behind the scenes want your life, but the Guan family will also want it. I’m afraid I can’t protect you. Yu, I don’t want anything to happen to you. Can you wait a little longer?” Li Zhe looked at Meng Yu with pleading eyes.

The scene from ten years ago was still vivid in his mind. Li Zhe didn’t want to experience that heartache and powerlessness again.

Meng Yu shifted his gaze away from Li Zhe, but he stubbornly said, “My life is not worth your protection. My life is no longer mine.”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Li Zhe’s eyes turned red as he stared at Meng Yu.

“Don’t you want to protect Lei? Those people’s target is Lei, so you and I will stay by his side, right?” Li Zhe’s voice was full of pleading, trying to use Guan Lei to make Meng Yu stay so that he would not put himself in danger.

Sure enough, Meng Yu’s expression was not as determined as before. After a moment, he turned around, looked at Li Zhe, and nodded. “Alright.”

Li Zhe secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was a little jealous. In Meng Yu’s heart, Guan Lei’s status was much higher than his.

Guan Lei, who had been envied, was currently racking his brain on how to explain to Shen Xi that he had lied to her about how poor his uncle’s family was and that the three million Yuan might be fake.

Guan Lei opened and closed the chat with Shen Xi over and over again, feeling vexed.

Sun Yi looked at Guan Lei, who was frowning on the bed with his phone in his hand and was a little anxious. He used his eyes to ask his other two roommates what had happened.

Qian Er and Wang San also shook their heads in confusion.

Sun Yi leaned on the bedside and asked, “Brother Lei, is there something bothering you? Tell us and we’ll share your burden.”

Guan Lei looked at Sun Yi, then at Qian Er and Wang San, who were also looking at him. After a few seconds of silence, he asked, “What would you do if you lied to your girlfriend?”

Sun Yi smelled the gossip and looked at Guan Lei with sparkling eyes. “Brother Lei, what did you do to let the sister-in-law down? ”

Guan Lei’s face turned serious and he immediately denied it. “What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I do anything to hurt Xi?”

Qian Er pushed Sun Yi away, his face full of flattery, “That’s right! Why would our brother Lei do anything to let the sister-in-law down? Nonsense! If you’re lying, you just have to admit your mistakes sincerely.”

Wang San nodded in agreement. “Sincerity is a must. As long as you sincerely explain why you lied and apologize, I believe the sister-in-law will understand.”

Guan Lei asked eagerly, “Then how do I apologize?”
