Reborn To Love 82 The Wedding

82 The Wedding

‘He Xinyan went to Wu Minger’s house and they talked about her situation with Gu Yebei for a long time. She ate dinner with the Wu family and when she returned back to the He mansion

it was late into the night already.’

‘Once she returned home

a glass cup crashed right in front of her feet. The cup broke into pieces

and it hurt a little when the small shards of glass bounced onto her leg.’

‘She glanced at the innocent cup before looking up with a smile

“It’s very late already. Dad

why aren’t you sleeping?”‘

‘Bai Jiawei’s eyes were red as he pointed one shaky finger at her

“You unfilial daughter! You just want to see the company go bankrupt and then you will be happy

right?! Why should I even bother raising you? Not only do you not help

but you just make things worse! You shouldn’t have come back!”‘

‘He Xinyan just silently listened to him

without even the slightest bit of anger. She also didn’t cry because of Bai Jiawei’s harsh words.’

‘She knew that there was no use in getting angry and crying was just an even cheaper thing to do. The treasured daughter and princess of the He family was never her anyway.’

‘So

who would she be crying for?’

‘”Since you think you shouldn’t even bother raising me

I should have just died with my mom. Wouldn’t that be great for you?” She said it lightly

almost like it didn’t have any effect on herself.’

‘Bai Jiawei’s eyes narrowed slightly

“I told you already

your mom’s death was an accident. I was also very sad. Why do you have to bring back things that happened almost 20 years ago?! All she did was give birth to you. The one that raised you is your stepmother! Instead of helping us and the company

you are talking about someone who has died several years ago. Do you think this is the right thing to do? Hm?!”‘

‘He Xinyan calmly listened to Bai Jiwei speak

but inside she was fuming with anger.’

‘”My mom doesn’t mean anything to you anymore

right? All she did was give birth to me

but I know that blood is thicker than water. I don’t want to talk about anything else. I just want to ask if my mom’s death really was just an accident?” Her tone was very calm

and one couldn’t hear any change in feelings or emotions as she spoke.’

‘Her calm questioning calmed Bai Jiawei downed a little

and he stared at her intensely. It seemed as if He Xinyan was a different person after she returned home from college. How she talked and everything she did was completely different. It even made Bai Jiawei think that she was very hard to deal with now. . .’

‘”I. . . It really was an accident.” Bai Jiawei sat down onto the couch and frustratingly scratched at his hair

“Xinyan

it’s not like I don’t have any emotion or affection for your mom anymore. It’s just that a lot of time has passed

and we should have a new life now. Why do you have to be so stubborn? Everyone dies

it’s just that your mom did a little earlier.”‘

‘He Xinyan had no more hope in her father anymore. She smiled mockingly at herself and walked over to the stairs.’

‘”Good night.”‘

‘Bai Jiawei didn’t stop her as she walked into her room and closed the door. A few minutes later

Bai Jiawei also entered his room and got ready for bed.’

‘Li Huiran was asleep already but she woke up from the movement.’

‘Bai Jiawei got into the bed and looked at Li Huiran

“Did you say something to Xinyan?”‘

‘Li Huiran rubbed her eyes

“About what?”‘

‘”About. . . He Yuxin?”‘

‘Li Huiran regained her focus as she opened her eyes

“No

nothing. She shouldn’t know anything. Why? What happened?”‘

‘Bai Jiawei sighed

“Nothing

I’m probably just overthinking. Go to sleep now. Good night.”‘

‘”No

tell me what happened!” Li Huiran sat up on the bed and frowned.’

‘”Nothing

go to sleep!” Bai Jiawei was very annoyed and he just wanted to get some rest.’

‘”Tell me

” Li Huiran tried to pull Bai Jiawei up

but he flung her arm away angrily.’

‘”Just stop! I think she’s a little suspicious about her mother’s death! If she figures out that you are related to her mother’s death. . .” Bai Jiawei scoffed

“Just wait for her to mess up this family and house!”‘

‘”This. . .”‘

‘”Okay

now go to sleep! Don’t argue with her if you can

her temper now is much worse for some reason. And. . . she’s also much smarter now. Ah

she is just like her mom. . . They are both smart people

just always pretended to be dumb.”‘

‘Li Huiran didn’t say anything more and silently laid down. In the dark room

her eyes were wide open and they would move once in a while.’

‘—‘

‘The next few weeks passed by very quickly

and He Xinyan spent most of her time either filming

inside her room

or at Gu Yechen’s house. The others were too busy making arrangements for the wedding to care about her

so it was relatively peaceful inside the house most of the time.’

‘Before long

it was August 9th

the day of the wedding. . . and also He Xinyan’s birthday.’

‘The wedding wasn’t extremely extravagant

but it was still decent and quite fancy. Since the beginning of the wedding

both the He family and Su family were happily greeting the guests with excited smiles on their faces.’

‘Bai Jiawei was also extremely happy today

as he had fully accepted Su Zhiming by now. He Xinyan wasn’t sure if it was because of his skills or the help of the He family

but Su Zhiming’s company was growing at a rapid rate and it was probably in the top 50 entertainment companies by now with several rising stars.’

‘He Xinyan stood in the corner of the room. Nobody really welcomed her here

and many would probably be glad if she didn’t show up.’

‘Of course

she also didn’t want to come.’

‘It was only because she was the bride’s sister

so she had to come and show herself

and also pretend she was extremely happy for Li Yuyan.’

‘Since she was here

she couldn’t just do nothing. Of course she was going to have some fun. . .’

‘Xinyan thought it was boring so she walked over to the glass window and leaned against it. The lobby of the second floor was surrounded by all glass walls

so the people inside could see everything that was happening outside. Even if you weren’t next to the window

you could still see what was going on.’

‘”I thought you wouldn’t come. Seems like you are just as shameless as before. So

how do you feel about attending the wedding of your sister and ex-boyfriend?” A sharp and girly sound came from behind He Xinyan.’
