Chapter 962: Suspicion
Then, she saw the beautiful man in front of her stand up and lean towards her. He even reached out his slender and fair hand and placed it by Shen Xi’s mouth.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Shen Xi asked in confusion, “Do you want some fruit?”
Shen Xi had some grape skin in her mouth since just now, so she spoke with a somewhat bulging voice.
Gu Chen shook his head and said softly, “You don’t have a trash can over there. Spit out the grape skin. I’ll throw it in the trash can.”
Shen Xi looked at Gu Chen’s beautiful hand and asked with uncertainty, ‘Do you want me to spit on your hand?”
Gu Chen nodded.
“Are you sure?” Shen Xi asked, still not convinced, “Don’t you think it’s dirty?” “It’s not dirty. You are not dirty.” Gu Chen shook his head.
Shen Xi was a little uncomfortable with Gu Chen’s words. She immediately stood up and asked with a twinkle in her eyes, “Where is the trash can? I’ll throw it myself.”
Gu Chen took back his hand and suddenly laughed inexplicably. Shen Xi was so angry that she swallowed the grape skin.
Shen Xi said angrily, “What’s so funny? 1 won’t throw it anymore. I’ll just swallow it.’
Originally, Gu Chen was just happy that Shen Xi was not cold when facing him. Instead, she looked a little shy and embarrassed.
However, he didn’t expect that his slight smile would make Shen Xi angry. Shen Xi even got mad and swallowed the grape skin.
This was the first time Gu Chen had seen Shen Xi with such a childish temper.
Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi as if he had met a stranger.
Shen Xi felt annoyed, hence Gu Chen retracted his gaze.
Gu Chen was happy, but he did not dare to anger Shen Xi again.
If it was Shen Xi from before, she would probably just give him a cold glance in that situation.
No, if it was Shen Xi from before, there wouldn’t be such a scene of the two of them in the study.
Shen Xi probably wouldn’t even want to enter his study room.
Gu Chen’s heart was filled with bitterness.
On the other side, Shen Xi was getting impatient. She asked, “Can you hurry up and settle this matter? Don’t be absent-minded. You looked confused and upset. I think you’re sick.”
Gu Chen also felt that he was a little abnormal today. The main reason was that Shen Xi had given him too many surprises that he had only dared to fantasize about.
Gu Chen adjusted his emotions, but the corners of his mouth curled up. Even Gu Chen himself could not convince himself to suppress it.
“I’ve thought about Meng Yu’s case, Right now, it’s only rumored that Meng Yu poisoned Guan Lei, but the case hasn’t been officially sentenced yet, so he hasn’t been convicted. If one could exchange or destroy the evidence obtained from Meng Yu, and another person admits to have committed it, no one will pursue this matter.” Gu Chen said.
In Gu Chen’s eyes, this matter seemed very simple, so simple that even Shen Xi felt that something was wrong.
“Is it so easy to swap the evidence? In this situation, Meng Yu should be surrounded by people. How can you be sure that it can be exchanged?” Shen Xi questioned.
Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi suspiciously and then smiled, “Of course. Right now, the Guan family’s situation was unknown and chaotic. The Liu family is doing well, so Meng Yu must be in the Liu family’s hands. My family is an ally of the Liu family. I think the Liu family will give me face.”
Shen Xi nodded in understanding.
“But, are you sure you want me to protect Meng Yu?” Gu Chen’s eyes were fixed on Shen Xi. “Meng Yu was the prime suspect in Guan Lei’s murder. If you do this, it’s very likely that you’ll release the murderer and let him die in vain.
Guan Lei used to be with you. Are you sure you want to do this?”
After Gu Chen finished asking, he looked at Shen Xi without blinking.
Shen Xi’s expression did not change much. She leaned back and sighed, “There’s nothing we can do about it. Although I don’t remember it, since I said before that Meng Yu is my savior, then I must owe Meng Yu a life. I have to pay her back, right? As for Guan Lei, if the Guan family really wants to make a fuss about it, I can just compensate them with my life.”
Gu Chen did not let go of any expression on Shen Xi’s face.
Previously, he had been blinded by Shen Xi’s intimacy. He had never thought of the possibility that Shen Xi might be faking it..
