Therefore, Su Rui was not only angry because Shen Xi had changed her mind so quickly and complained about Guan Lei’s injustice, but she was also angry that her status had been dragged down by Shen Xi.
Shen Xi squinted at Su Rui and asked with a dangerous look, “Were you scolding me just now?”
Su Rui saw that Shen Xi seemed to be a little confused. She sneered and replied arrogantly, “Yes, I am scolding you. Why? Are you not convinced? I don’t know what kind of family style you were brought up by, but the young miss of the Shen family doesn’t know any sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame.’
Su Rui admitted that she had gone too far, but she was still angry.
The thought of her being a love rival with such a person made her feel uncomfortable and humiliated.
Shen Xi smiled at Su Rui and staggered two steps to Su Rui. Under Su Rui’s imposing manner, Shen Xi raised her palm and slapped Su Rui’s face hard.
Su Rui’s face turned to the side after being slapped, and the people around her were also looking at Shen Xi in shock.
On the other hand, Shen Xi just reached out his hand to Gu Chen and said even more arrogantly, “It’s dirty. Wipe it!”
Gu Chen obediently took a tissue from the table and wiped Shen Xi’s hands with a natural and patient expression.
Ye Yu stood up from the side and frowned at Shen Xi. “Ms. Shen Xi, isn’t it a little too much for you to hit someone like this?”
Shen Xi nodded in agreement. “So, she can call back!”
Shen Xi’s tone could be said to be extremely arrogant. Even Ye Yu was a little stunned.
Shen Xi’s words were asking for a fight.
Su Rui, who had finally regained her senses, was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She turned around angrily and glared at Shen Xi. She gritted her teeth and said, “Shen Xi!”
Shen Xi was not afraid at all. She even gave Su Rui a bright smile.
Su Rui pushed away Fang Jiao who was supporting her and raised her hand to slap Shen Xi.
However, before her hand could touch Shen Xi’s face, she was grabbed and thrown to the side.
Su Rui fell to the side. Fortunately, Ye Yu pulled her back in time. Otherwise, she would have lost all her face tonight.
“Su Rui,” Gu Chen said coldly, wiping his hand that had just grabbed Su Rui’s hand. “I’m being polite by calling you young Miss Su for the sake of the Su family. If you dare to provoke Xi again, don’t blame me for being rude!”
At this time, Ye Yu stopped Su Rui, who was going to find trouble with Shen Xi. She whispered, “It’s almost done. We can’t fight against the Gu family. Even the Shen and Lu families behind Shen Xi, we can’t fight them.”
Ye Yu was sober.
Now that the Guan family was on the verge of collapse, they did not know what would happen in the future, so they couldn’t give her or Su Rui any support.
The Gu family, the Shen family, and the Lu family were the only three families that were still standing among the four great families in the capital. The two people in front of them were from these three families. How could they fight?
Su Rui knew it in her heart, but she was unwilling to accept it.
In front of so many people, her pride as the young miss of the Su family was shattered by Shen Xi’s slap. She could not even get justice for herself.
If news of what happened today spread, she would lose all her face.
ang Jiao didn’t want to cause trouble, so she could only persuade Su Rui in a moderate voice, “Sister Su Rui, this is all you can do for the Guan family. We all know that you value friendship, but now the other party is trying to bully us. It’s already a rare quality for you to stand up for the Guan family without fear of power when your ability is limited.”
Fang Jiao’s words directly hit Su Rui’s heart.
That’s right. She remembered her old relationship and valued friendship. She knew that she was no match for Shen Xi and Gu Chen, but she still sought justice for Guan Lei. How worthy of praise was she?
After thinking through all this, Su Rui was not so embarrassed. She just looked up at Shen Xi coldly and said disdainfully, “Shen Xi, I am not as good as you, but I still want to say that I feel sorry for Guan Lei!”
Shen Xi seemed to be a little annoyed by Su Rui’s words. She shouted at Su
Rui, “Who do you think you are? Why do you feel bad for Guan Lei?!”
Su Rui still wanted to say something, but Shen Xi took a few steps towards Su Rui. Her staggering footsteps scared Gu Chen so much that he reached out his hand to protect Shen Xi from behind.
Shen Xi stared at Su Rui and sneered. “If you’re not convinced, get Guan Lei to come out and confront me.. I’ll wait! Don’t let any Tom, Dick, or Harry come to me and speak nonsense on his behalf!”
