Reborn To Love Chapter 221 The Three Brothers

Chapter 221 The Three Brothers　　”The air quality here isn’t good, let’s go back.”

Gu Hanyu and Xu Menga looked over at their son and didn’t say anything. If he was going to leave, then they were not going to stay anymore either.

“We are eating lunch soon, where are you going?” Wang Yani sternly said without any warmth.

Gu Yechen didn’t even look over at his grandma as he coldly replied, “How could people like us without a good upbringing eat lunch together with people like you?”

Gu Linglan’s face immediately reddened as she embarrassedly looked down, “Brother Yechen, I wasn’t talking. . . about you.”

She glanced up at Gu Yechen and quickly looked back away nervously. His cold eyes were too scary. . .

He Xinyan quietly stood next to Gu Yechen and didn’t say anything. Usually, she would stand up for herself. However, she was just an outsider here. 

It would be bad for her as an outsider to stir up more problems. Plus, she had someone helping her.

Gu Yechen narrowed his eyes, “You aren’t talking about me? Then who are you talking about?”

“I. . .” Gu Linglan looked down again and didn’t know what to say.

“Yechen, she’s your younger sister. Linglan is still young and immature, so she is a little straightforward. She doesn’t mean anything else.” Gu Linglan’s mother spoke up to save her daughter, “And, you two should stay. It is your grandma’s birthday today. At least stay for a meal.”

She then turned to look at He Xinyan, “Miss He, it is rare for our family to get together for a meal. Let’s not get mad over small things like this, right?”

He Xinyan frowned, “Auntie, I don’t know what you mean. I am not mad at anyone?” She confusedly looked around at the people inside the room.

The confusion in her expression was so convincing, it was almost like she actually didn’t understand the hidden meaning behind Gu Linglan’s words earlier.

“. . .” Gu Linglan’s mother, Li Xinqu, awkwardly looked down.

He Xinyan scoffed internally. It seemed like no one in this family wanted to see her here. Maybe just the fact that she was standing here was very disturbing and annoying to them.

She smiled and looked up at Gu Yechen, “Yechen, auntie spoke. She said that it is rare that everyone in the family is together. How about let’s eat first before we leave. Didn’t you say the chefs here are descendants of the chefs of the imperial kitchen? I want to taste the food here as well!”

He Xinyan wrapped her arm around Gu Yechen’s arm with a sweet and innocent smile.

Ch! Since they didn’t like her, she was purposely going to stay here and make them annoyed!

Gu Yechen looked at her smile, and his cold expression finally softened, “Okay.”

The sweet interaction between the two of them was extremely annoying in the eyes of the people around them, especially Gu Kexin.

Gu Kexin pressed her lips together angrily and clenched her fists together.

However, Xu Mengya was extremely happy, and her mouth was open widely as she smiled excitedly.

Gu Yechen and He Xinyan sat down to eat, and the workers carried out the plates of food onto every single desk.

He Xinyan picked up her chopsticks and focused on the food.

Indeed, the food here was amazing. Everything was extremely delicious, and she could use the word perfect to describe every single dish.

The details were amazing, and the sweetness, saltiness, sourness, and spiciness of every single dish were at the perfect amount.

Halfway through the meal, Wang Yani put down her chopsticks and looked down at Gu Yechen and He Xinyan.

She cleared her throat and said sternly, “Gu Yechen, some women are just meant to play with for a short time. However, I will never allow you to bring an irrelevant woman back to the Gu mansion ever again.”

He Xinyan’s hand froze midair for a second before she put down her chopsticks. Wow. . . the old lady was indeed not an easygoing or merciful person. 

Even if everyone sitting here was part of the Gu family, it was still not very. . . considerate of her to talk to Gu Yechen like that in front of everyone.

Gu Yechen was not a very. . . good person.

Because of the old lady’s words, the originally decent atmosphere inside the room immediately became cold, almost as if the air inside the room had been sucked away.

This is the first time Wang Yani has ever spoken so harshly towards Gu Yechen.

He Xinyan did nothing wrong. Even if she did, it was because of Gu Yechen’s favoritism towards her that aroused the old lady’s dislike towards her. Because. . .

“It seems like grandma is indeed getting old. I do not like repeating my words twice. However, since you are an elder, I can repeat my words again. He Xinyan is my woman and my only woman! If you don’t accept her, then I apologize. I also don’t accept anyone that doesn’t accept her.”

Only. . . That represented eternity. Forever. A lifetime.

Gu Yechen held onto He Xinyan’s hand tightly as he said this. He was telling everyone that she was his woman. If you accepted her, then you accepted her. If you didn’t accept her. . . then you still had to accept her!

He was also telling He Xinyan that she was his only one! 

He Xinyan tilted her head slightly to be able to see Gu Yechen. His expression was extremely cold, but even so, she felt extremely warm right now. 

Even in the cold winter weather, she still felt like she was inside a heated room as a warm feeling spread across her entire body. 

It felt very nice to have someone else stand up for you and care for you.

“You -” Wang Yani was so angry she had a hard time breathing.

Gu Kexin and Gu Linglan immediately ran forward to try and calm Wang Yani down.

“Big brother, are you not going to do something about Gu Yechen?” Seeing his mother get so angry, Gu Yechen’s second uncle, Gu Hanlin finally spoke up.

Gu Hanyu looked over at Gu Hanlin and then scanned the other people in the room, “Everyone knows that Gu Yechen was never under my control. His attitude and personality are like mine. I know perfectly well what type of person I am, and I think all of you know too. I can’t control him, and I don’t want to control him either.”

Gu Hanlin knit his eyebrows together but didn’t say anything.

Out of the three of them, Gu Hanyu was indeed the most capable and the most powerful. Gu Hanlin never liked this, and he had always tried to find a way to push himself up, but he never succeeded.

Gu Hanqi, Gu Yechen’s third uncle, didn’t like to fight. He was a simple and easygoing person and normally didn’t have a strong opinion. 

Gu Hanyu had inherited the Gu family’s original business as a worker for the government. Most people say that government workers were double-sided and knew how to lie and hide their true feelings.

However, Gu Hanyu wasn’t like that. He was a cold person inside and out. The people he liked, he would definitely help them. The people he didn’t like. . . Even if they kneeled down in front of him and begged him, he would still not pity or help them even the slightest.

And his son, Gu Yechen, had inherited this cold trait from him.

Gu Hanlin jumped up, “Big brother, your son’s mistake and unfilial attitude is also your problem. You can’t just use the excuse that Gu Yechen is like you so you can’t control him! It is just because you can’t control him, so he dares to speak to our mom like that!”

“So, are you telling me what to do right now?” Gu Hanyu’s eyes landed on Gu Hanlin, and everyone could tell from his voice that he was getting angry.

Gu Hanlin shivered from Gu Hanyu’s glare and he gulped, “I. . . I’m just warning you, that’s our mother.”

He Xinyan witnessed this from the side, and she immediately knew that Gu Yechen’s second uncle was scared of Uncle Gu.

Or else, why would his legs be shaking as he spoke?

“Mom, you should know that I despise it when people like to meddle in other people’s business. Whoever Gu Yechen likes, I and Mengya will accept as our daughter-in-law. You are getting old, so you should stop meddling in your grandchildren’s business.” Gu Hanyu glared at Gu Hanlin one last time before turning over to Wang Yani, his mother.

Wang Yani knit her eyebrows together and frowned. She took a deep breath before angrily saying, “Well! Well! Very well!”

She then angrily turned around and marched away. Behind where she was sitting, there was a door. And behind that door, led to the rooms of all the people in the family.

“Grandma. . .” Gu Kexin looked at everyone in the room, her eyes stopping on Gu Yechen before she ran out after Wang Yani.

He Xinyan saw how Wang Yani shook unstablely as she walked out. She couldn’t help but worry if she will be able to stand her children and grandchildren treating her like that.

She was also curious why Gu Yechen and his father’s attitude towards Wang Yani was so cold?

However, it was none of her business.

Since Wang Yani was gone, Gu Hanlin and Gu Hanqi’s families also left, so only Gu Yechen’s family and He Xinyan were left inside the large room.
