Capítulo 578: Chapter 578: Jiang Yi Is Coming
Lin Fei, upon arriving at the Guan family, could tell from the actions of Tang Shaohua, Hu Xiaodao, and these wealthy heirs that they were all pursuing Guan Yuxuan.
He also noticed their hostility towards him.
Additionally, he saw that Guan Yuxuan was quite fed up with this group of suitors.
It was probably like dealing with a swarm of flies you can’t get rid of.
Tang Shaohua wanted to probe his intentions, didn’t he?
If Lin Fei claimed he and Guan Yuxuan were just friends, then Tang Shaohua and the others would persist like flies around Guan Yuxuan, never giving her peace.
So, a sly gleam flickered in Lin Fei’s eyes as he broke into a smile and said to Tang Shaohua, “Young Master Tang, you’re absolutely right. Yuxuan and I are indeed in a romantic relationship.”
The moment Lin Fei spoke, it was as if a bolt from the blue struck Tang Shaohua, and his face instantly turned sour.
Hu Xiaodao and the other wealthy heirs also felt as if they heard the shattering of glass in their hearts.
Lin Fei and Guan Yuxuan are in a romantic relationship?!
This left them speechless and defeated.
Similarly, Guan Yuxuan’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened as she looked at Lin Fei, clearly hearing her own chaotic heartbeat.
But why was her heart beating so fast?
She always thought she only saw Lin Fei as a savior.
But upon hearing Lin Fei personally declare their romantic involvement…
Even knowing it was likely Lin Fei helping her fend off the persistent advances of the likes of Tang Shaohua and Hu Xiaodao…
She still felt as if something deeply buried in her heart had been drawn out, irreversibly…
That which Lin Fei’s words evoked was none other than Guan Yuxuan’s concealed feelings for him.
From the moment Lin Fei kicked open the door at Bamboo Green Manor, rescuing her from Jin Shaobo’s clutches, to the first time she asked a boy’s name, and then when she collapsed into his arms after being shot…
These scenes replayed endlessly in Guan Yuxuan’s mind like a film.
This was how she gradually fell for Lin Fei.
But as a girl, her modesty compelled her to keep these yet-to-mature feelings hidden.
Yet at this moment, Lin Fei’s words opened the gateway to her emotions.
Li Xuechun stood there blankly, her face somewhat pale as she looked at Lin Fei and Guan Yuxuan.
She couldn’t understand why, upon hearing of Lin Fei and Guan Yuxuan’s relationship, she didn’t feel the expected happiness for her best friend finding love, but rather a heavy sensation.
At the window of the villa’s fourth floor, Guan Yunshan also felt a twinge of surprise upon hearing Lin Fei’s words.
He had no knowledge that his daughter was romantically involved with Lin Fei.
However, after the surprise, Guan Yunshan didn’t express disapproval; on the contrary, he felt somewhat pleased: Lin Fei was undoubtedly a medical prodigy.
In the future, he would certainly become a pivotal figure in Hong Kong’s medical community, and Yuxuan being with him was no less favorable than with the likes of Tang Shaohua or Hu Xiaodao.
In this way, Lin Fei would have even less reason to leave the Guan family.
Of course, if Guan Yunshan knew that Lin Fei only claimed to be in a relationship with Guan Yuxuan to help fend off unwanted suitors, he might just fall from the fourth floor in exasperation.
“Master, Jiang Yi is here!” At that moment, a grey-clad old man looked outside, speaking solemnly to Guan Yunshan.
Guan Yunshan’s smile instantly vanished as he turned to the grey-clad man, saying, “He arrived so quickly?”
He then looked at the grey-clad man with concern, “Old Gu, should we go down to prevent Jian Yi from causing trouble for Lin Fei?”
“No, Master. We should wait until Lin Fei encounters a crisis before stepping in. That way, Lin Fei will be immensely grateful to you, and you’ll win his loyalty,” the grey-clad elder said calmly and insightfully.
Guan Yunshan nodded with a smile, “You’re right, my concern clouded my judgment.”
In the yard, Tang Shaohua barely pulled himself together, looking at the smiling Lin Fei with the feeling of being played like a monkey.
Suddenly, Tang Shaohua seemed to realize something and angrily said to Lin Fei, “You’re lying! You’re not Yuxuan’s boyfriend!”
“Exactly, we’ve never heard Yuxuan having a boyfriend!”
“How could a boyfriend suddenly pop up?”
“You’re clearly deceiving us!”
Hu Xiaodao and the other wealthy kids chimed in.
Lin Fei smiled calmly, looking at Tang Shaohua, “Sorry, Yuxuan and I only publicly revealed our relationship today because we didn’t want love to interfere with our studies.
Of course, you can choose not to believe it, but that won’t change the fact of my relationship with Yuxuan.”
Tang Shaohua and the wealthy heirs all furrowed their brows, seeing that Guan Yuxuan didn’t deny a word, clearly agreeing to the relationship with Lin Fei, which made them seethe inside.
“Young Master Hu, let’s go! We can’t just stay here and make fools of ourselves, right?” Tang Shaohua said with self-mockery, looking at Hu Xiaodao.
Then he tossed the perfume from France onto the lawn and headed towards his luxury car.
Even though Hu Xiaodao was unwilling, after hearing Tang Shaohua, he similarly threw the large bouquet onto the ground, glaring fiercely at Lin Fei before heading to his car.
The other wealthy heirs also threw their gifts onto the ground with resentful expressions before going to their cars.
Amidst the sound of engines, these heirs drove their luxury cars away from the Guan family villa courtyard.
Guan Yuxuan frowned slightly at the mess of discarded gifts, angrily exclaiming, “Truly a group of uncultured people!”
However, realizing she no longer had to face the boredom of Tang Shaohua and Hu Xiaodao and could enjoy her birthday peacefully with Lin Fei, her mood inexplicably brightened.
The servants began clearing the mess of gifts left behind by the wealthy heirs.
Guan Yuxuan looked at Lin Fei, and with a hint of apology, said to him, “Lin Fei, now that those people are gone, we can finally enjoy some cake.”
But Lin Fei shook his head, smiling, “Even though they’re gone, I’m afraid we still can’t enjoy the cake.”
“Why?” Guan Yuxuan asked, surprised, looking at Lin Fei.
Lin Fei replied, “Because more guests have arrived.”
Lin Fei’s words startled Guan Yuxuan: More guests have arrived?
She immediately looked toward the gate of the courtyard and indeed saw someone arriving at the Guan family villa.
In formal suit, hair slightly curled, tall and handsome Jiang Yi, accompanied by Housekeeper Hong in a Tang suit with graying hair, entered her view.
Seeing Jiang Yi, Li Xuechun’s face turned pale as paper, showing signs of nervousness and unease.
“Miss Guan, happy birthday!” Jiang Yi said with a smiling gaze at Guan Yuxuan.
Then, Housekeeper Hong, who stood behind him, presented a brocade box, stepped forward to Guan Yuxuan, and opened it to reveal a thumb-sized pearl inside.
Housekeeper Hong said to Guan Yuxuan, “This is the birthday gift from my young master to Miss Guan!”
