Guan Bo hadn’t expected that this lady of the Xia family would directly show her disgust on her face.

“She’s not dead. Her arm was grazed by a bullet. It’s not serious. She’ll probably wake up soon,” Guan Bo said honestly.

Xia Huang did not understand why there had been a gun battle. She turned to look at Guan Bo, who was wearing a mask, and her expression changed. She immediately went forward and pulled on Guan Bo’s arm, which was also wrapped in gauze, and asked with her heart aching, “Young Master, you’re injured. Does it hurt?”

Guan Bo removed his injured arm from Xia Huang’s grasp. “It’s nothing. I just want to explain what happened today to you.”

At this moment, Jiang Xue slowly woke up and only came back to her senses after a long time.

“You’re awake?” Guan Bo walked to Jiang Xue’s side.

Jiang Xue saw Guan Bo, who was still wearing a mask, and was about to get up, but the movement accidentally affected the wound on her hand, causing Jiang Xue to cry out in pain.

Only then did Jiang Xue remember that there seemed to have been a fighting scene earlier, but the room had been full of smoke and she couldn’t see anything.

“What just happened?” Jiang Xue asked subconsciously.

Guan Bo explained while in a good mood, “Someone wanted to kill me just now.

Miss Jiang Xue blocked it for me, so you got injured.”

Xia Huang and Jiang Xue were both stunned. They hadn’t expected such a thing to happen.

Guan Bo continued, “However, I hope you can keep this a secret for me. Of course, I recognize Miss Jiang Xue’s kindness.”

When Jiang Xue heard Guan Bo l s words, she was pleasantly surprised as if a pie had fallen from the sky and hit her. She didn’t even feel the pain from the wound on her hand.

Xia Huang hadn’t expected Jiang Xue to become Guan Lei’s benefactor just by going out. She was too lucky.

Jiang Xue looked at Xia Huang smugly. After making sure that Young Master Guan couldn’t see her, she raised her eyebrows and provoked her.

Xia Huang was suddenly unconvinced and coldly said, “Young Master, I know Jiang Xue well. You might as well investigate again to see if Jiang Xue directed and put on a show.”

Jiang Xue’s eyes instantly turned red. She looked at Guan Bo and cried, “Cousin’s words are too hurtful. In the beginning, I was just curious about the birthday banquet and wanted to come in to take a look, but my aunt didn’t bring me. I had to beg teacher Xue Liu to come in. If I had the ability, I would’ve come in directly. I wouldn’t have had to beg for an invitation.”

Xia Huang snorted. “Who knows? Maybe you’re just putting on an act for others to see.”

Guan Bo didn’t expect the relationship between the Xia family and Jiang Xue to be so tense.

However, this had nothing to do with him. It was fine as long as this matter did not spread.

After all, a shooting incident at the old retired chief’s birthday party would definitely attract attention and investigations by the higher-ups. By then, it would be inevitable that they would find out some little secrets that the Guan family did not want the world to know. That would be troublesome.

“No matter what, I still want to thank Miss Jiang Xue for saving me today. Miss Jiang Xue, do you want to go home now or rest in the lounge for a while and I’ll get someone to send you back after the banquet is over?” Guan Bo said gently and adjusted the pillow for Jiang Xue.

Seeing such a gentle Guan Bo, Xia Huang couldn’t help but feel jealous. Who in Beijing didn’t know that strangers were not allowed to approach Young Master Guan, especially women!

There was once a young lady from a rich family who didn’t believe in the rumors because of her beauty. She went to lean on Young Master Guan in front of everyone. In the end, she was thrown out by Young Master Guan and almost disfigured.

After that, the Guan family compensated her with a lot of money, but from then on, no woman dared to get close to Young Master Guan.

Now that Young Master Guan was so gentle and considerate to Jiang Xue, how could Xia Huang not be jealous?

Jiang Xue saw the change in Xia Huang’s expression and felt very comfortable.

So what if the Xia family couldn’t tolerate her? She had the Guan family’s backing now, she was Young Master Guan’s savior!

“I want to rest for a while. My arm hurts so much that I don’t feel like moving.” Jiang Xue’s voice became a little weaker, making others feel pity for her.

A man came in and whispered something in Guan Bo’s ear. Guan Bo said to Jiang Xue, “Then I’ll take my leave first. You rest well, I’ll come to see you later.”

Jiang Xue nodded obediently and watched her future husband leave.

“Don’t think that just because you took a bullet for Young Master, you can marry into the Guan family on the basis of saving his life.” Xia Huang couldn’t stand Jiang Xue’s smug look..
