Reborn To Love 80 Mother-In-Law

80 Mother-In-Law

‘”Yanyan

I need to talk to you. Come with me to my office.”‘

‘He Xinyan had a guess of what Bai Jiawei wanted to say already

and she followed him to the second floor. He closed the door as Xinyan walked over to the couch inside and sat down.’

‘”What do you need to tell me

dad?”‘

‘Bai Jiawei sat down in his large chair

“Yanyan

why didn’t you tell me who your boyfriend is?”‘

‘”You never asked.” He Xinyan replied with a smile.’

‘”Whatever. Yanyan

you know it has been hard for me to take care of the He Corporation all by myself. . . especially after your mother’s death.”‘

‘He Xinyan raised one eyebrow and watched his dramatic and fake act.’

‘”The Gu Corporation would really help us. . .”‘

‘He Xinyan smirked

“What do you want?”‘

‘Bai Jiawei wasn’t happy with He Xinyan’s attitude but he had no other choice

“Can you help me to get a cooperation with the Gu Corporation? It will really help the He Corporation. At the very end

I am also helping you to set a good foundation for you later on.”‘

‘He Xinyan almost laughed. Who knew what was going on inside his brain? Maybe he was planning on taking the entire corporation away from the He family in all and giving it to his other lovely daughter

Li Yuyan.’

‘She could not trust him.’

‘”Are you asking me to ask Gu Yechen for a cooperation opportunity?”‘

‘Bai Jiawei nodded.’

‘”I’m not sure. . . It will be hard. Gu Yechen isn’t really a subjective person when it comes to business.” He Xinyan thought of how he just gave someone a cooperation because he called her Mrs. Gu and smiled at her own lie.’

‘”I know President Gu really likes you

Yanyan. You should help the He family.”‘

‘He Xinyan shrugged

“Okay. I’ll try it.”‘

‘She walked out of the room and went straight for the door. As she passed the living room

Li Huiran and Li Yuyan both glared at her suspiciously.’

‘Outside

she turned around and walked up the stairs to Gu Yechen’s house. With her key

she unlocked the door and walked in.’

‘Inside

she noticed the man sitting on the couch immediately. He was dressed in a black silk bathrobe and his hair was slightly wet. He looked up slightly when he heard footsteps.’

‘He smiled when he saw her and took a sip of his tea.’

‘”Gu Yechen -“‘

‘”Right here.” He pointed at the file on the table in front of him.’

‘”. . .” He Xinyan picked it up and flipped through it to find that his stamp and his name were already signed at the end of the contract. All it was missing was Bai Jiawei’s stamp and signature now.’

‘”How did you know?”‘

‘Gu Yechen lifted his hand and signaled for He Xinyan to go over to him. She walked over and he pulled her down onto the couch.’

‘”I guessed.”‘

‘”Why are you giving it to me?”‘

‘”Just a gift.” Gu Yechen leaned back against the couch and the collar of the bathrobe dropped a little further.’

‘He then added

“Use this to exchange information about your mother’s death.”‘

‘”What?” He Xinyan furrowed her eyebrows together when he mentioned her mom. How did he know that she was planning to further investigate her mother’s death?’

‘The day before her mother’s death

she had gone to the hospital. Her mother had told her that she was recovering already and even showed Xinyan that she was back in good health.’

‘It was unlikely that He Yuxin could have died just from the shock and anger about Bai Jiawei’s affair. Unless he said something else besides just his affair. . .’

‘”Remember

this contract is only to exchange for the information you want to hear. If you don’t get the response you want

you can do whatever you want with this contract.” Gu Yechen said seriously.’

‘He Xinyan blinked a few times. So he meant that she could do whatever she wanted with this contract if Bai Jiawei didn’t give her the response she wanted?’

‘”Why are you giving this to me?”‘

‘”Bring justice to my mother-in-law. However

I am in no position to do it for you yet

so I’ll just have to leave it to you.”‘

‘He Xinyan smiled

“Thank you.” She then added

“She’s not your mother-in-law. . . yet.”‘

‘—‘

‘He Xinyan returned home happily with the folder in her hand

and she took special care to avoid Bai Jiawei as she made her way up to her room.’

‘In her room

she copied the contract so there were two and looked at both of them with a smile. It was nighttime so she put the two contracts into a folder and went to bed.’

‘The next morning

He Xinyan changed into a set of casual clothes and grabbed the new rose on the bed stand and the folder she had set aside yesterday before going out the door.’

‘As she drove

she would glance at the rose occasionally and a smile would appear. About half an hour later

she stopped in front of a large building. Outside the top floor

two words were imprinted onto the wall

shining bright under the sunlight.’

‘He Corporation’

‘He Xinyan’s eyes narrowed as she held onto the folder tighter. She walked past the security guards and into the elevator before clicking the button to the top floor. She stepped out and the worker at the front desk quickly stopped her.’

‘”Miss

who are you looking for?”‘

‘He Xinyan smiled

“Bai Jiawei

my dad.”‘

‘The worker’s eyes widened before she quickly returned to her calm expression

“President Bai is inside his office. . . He’s not in a very good mood right now.”‘

‘He Xinyan raised one eyebrow

“Great! Looks like I came at the perfect time.”‘

‘As she spoke

He Xinyan smiled at the worker and walked straight towards the office.’

‘Bai Jiawei was about to scream when he heard someone walk in without knocking

but when he saw it was He Xinyan

he suppressed his anger down.’

‘”What are you here for?” Bai Jiawei got even more annoyed when He Xinyan just sat down without saying anything.’

‘”I’ll wait until you’re in a decent mood first. I’m afraid you will be so shocked after hearing what I say. . . you might die.” He Xinyan raised one eyebrow as she studied Bai Jiawei’s expression

but he didn’t seem to notice anything wrong with what she just said.’

‘Bai Jiawei frowned

“What is it?”‘

‘”Good news.”‘

‘”Good news?” Bai Jiawei raised one eyebrow suspiciously.’

‘He Xinyan placed the folder she was holding in her right hand onto the table and pushed it towards Bai Jiawei. Once Bai Jiawei’s eyes landed on the front cover of the folder

his eyes sparkled and his mouth fell open as she stared at He Xinyan in awe

“Gu Corporation!”‘

‘The front cover wrote ‘Gu Corporation’ and also had their logo on it.’

‘He Xinyan nodded.’

‘Bai Jiawei reached for the folder excitedly

but didn’t expect for He Xinyan to place her hand over the folder

stopping him from taking it.’

‘”You. . . What are you doing?” Bai Jiawei watched as she pulled the folder back and his smile stiffened.’

‘He Xinyan then pulled out the folder she was holding in his left hand and held it to Bai Jiawei

“This is a copied version

you can look at this first.”‘

‘Bai Jiawei didn’t know what she was trying to do

but he still grabbed the folder and began reading it carefully. When he finished the entire contract

his eyes were sparkling with excitement.’

‘”Yanyan

you are really my greatest daughter! You are the best! I can’t believe you actually got the Gu Corporation to give us a contract like this!”‘

‘Bai Jiawei eagerly stretched his hand out

“Yanyan

give me the original copy. Once I sign it

our cooperation will begin. With the Gu Corporation

the He Corporation will definitely do even better. Daddy will definitely reward you. I’ll give you five percent of the company’s shares.”‘

‘He Xinyan’s smile widened even more. Five percent of the company’s shares. . . If she remembered correctly

her grandfather and mother had saved 50 percent of the company’s shares for her

but they temporarily placed under Bai Jiawei’s name because she was too young to control the company.’

‘”I can give the contract to you

but there is something I want to ask you. I hope you can answer it honestly.”‘

‘Bai Jiawei furrowed his eyebrows slightly and nodded

“Ask. As long as I know

I promise to tell you honestly.”‘

‘He Xinyan stopped smiling and put on a serious expression

“Why did my mom die?”‘
