Reborn To Love 79 The Engagement Ceremony

79 The Engagement Ceremony

‘Li Yuyan cleared her throat and plastered a smile onto her face

“Hello

Mr. Gu. I am Li Yuyan

Yanyan’s sister.”‘

‘Gu Yechen didn’t even bother glancing at Li Yuyan

but instead turned to look at He Xinyan

“Sister? When did you have a sister?”‘

‘Xinyan opened her mouth to speak

but Li Yuyan beat her to it.’

‘”Hahaha

Yanyan must have forgotten to tell you about me. I’m her older sister

Li Yuyan.” Li Yuyan used one hand to move a few strands of hair back and smiled as she spoke softly

acting like a great sister.’

‘”No

I didn’t forget.” He Xinyan grinned

‘I don’t have a sister. . . You’re my stepsister.”‘

‘This time

Li Yuyan succeeded in holding her anger in as she brought back her ultimate move from her past life. The pity card!’

‘She looked down and bit her lip

“I know you don’t like me

but I have always treated you as my biological sister.”‘

‘Bai Jiawei frowned deeply

“Yanyan

don’t talk to your sister like that!”‘

‘”Is there a problem? There is indeed a difference between sister and stepsister.” Gu Yechen raised one eyebrow lazily and spoke with a cold tone.’

‘”Well. . . No

there is no problem. President Gu is correct

there is a difference.”‘

‘Li Yuyan glanced at her dad and clenched her teeth together angrily.’

‘”Well

we just came over to congratulate you. . . stepsister. If there is nothing else

we are going to go get seated.” He Xinyan held onto Gu Yechen’s hand and she waved with a smile before walking away.’

‘They found their seat in the front row and sat down. Almost like wasps attracted to light

people began coming over and introducing themselves a little too eagerly.’

‘”Hello

President Gu and Miss He! I’m the chairman of the Qinhe Entertainment Business. Nice to meet you

nice to meet you!”‘

‘To everyone’s disappointment

only He Xinyan politely greeted them back whereas Gu Yechen had no reaction to any of them as he was completely focused on playing with He Xinyan’s hand.’

‘Almost everyone in the room had come over already

and it was quite amusing to He Xinyan to look at the lonely people at the front of the room.’

‘To be honest

she didn’t have any sense of guilt or pity towards them for what she did. Maybe it was because she was just a bad and evil person in general. However

this really was nothing compared to what she had received in her past life.’

‘As she watched them

another man who seemed to be older than Gu Yechen but younger than Bai Jiawei walked over.’

‘”Hello

Mr. and Mrs. Gu! I’m Li Yijian

nice to meet you.”‘

‘Gu Yechen’s hands froze for a second and he looked up at the man standing in front of them.’

‘”What do you want?”‘

‘He Xinyan’s eyes widened. This was the first time Gu Yechen actually acknowledged the people that came over.’

‘The man himself was also quite surprised

“Hahaha

nothing. I just came over to introduce myself.”‘

‘”I’m not a patient person. Sponsor or corporation?” Gu Yechen frowned slightly.’

‘”Sponsor!” The man said quickly

“I need money for a new project.”‘

‘”Is 5 million enough?”‘

‘”Yes

yes! More than enough! My company is the Luqi Corporation. Thank you! Thank you very much!”‘

‘Everyone else in the room stared at them wide-eyed. Why did that man get a sponsor from Gu Yechen

but they didn’t?! That wasn’t fair.’

‘After the man had left

He Xinyan had got it figured out

“Did you give him the sponsor because he called me Mrs. Gu?”‘

‘Gu Yechen picked up her hand again and began playing around with her fingers

“My baby is the smartest.”‘

‘”. . .”‘

‘All of the guests had arrived

and because not many people went up to congratulate Li Yuyan and Su Zhiming anymore

the ceremony began earlier than expected.’

‘He Xinyan found the ceremony to be extremely boring as she watched the two disgusting people on stage speak and act all lovey-dovey.’

‘The ceremony finally ended right before she was about to fall asleep

and she was the first to stand up from the chair and drag Gu Yechen over to the refreshment tables.’

‘”Ah

this is the only good thing about this ceremony

” He Xinyan said as she looked at the food.’

‘Xinyan had decided that she and Gu Yechen had done enough already

and she will be generous and allow the rest of the engagement ceremony to be peaceful and planned.’

‘There was still a lot of fun ahead at the wedding. . .’

‘For the rest of the time

she ate

until it was time to go home. Bai Jiawei came over and told her that she could go home and rest to show Gu Yechen that he was a good father

but he did not expect He Xinyan to reply:’

‘”I didn’t plan on staying to help anyway.”‘

‘With that

she and Gu Yechen had left the hotel

entered their car

and returned back to the Xihe Estates.’

‘—‘

‘When Bai Jiawei

Li Huiran

Li Yuyan

and Su Zhiming returned home

He Xinyan was on the couch watching television with a bag of chips on her lap.’

‘Li Yuyan’s eyes turned red with rage when she saw He Xinyan and she marched over

“He Xinyan! You did that on purpose didn’t you?!”‘

‘”What?” He Xinyan asked innocently. Li Yuyan wasn’t only mad about Gu Yechen

but she had also realized that during the entire ceremony

Su Zhiming’s eyes and attention were fixed onto He Xinyan

and he would glance at her every few seconds.’

‘She had purposely dressed like an evil vixen to steal her spotlight! Of course

Li Yuyan couldn’t actually say that

or else she would be telling He Xinyan she was scared of her.’

‘Even now

Su Zhiming had his eyes glued onto He Xinyan. She had always been very conservative in the past when she was with him

and she never wore revealing clothes like the one she had worn today.’

‘It was different but also very attractive. . . He had been like this for a while now. It seemed like He Xinyan could control his heart

and his every movement or word was like an attraction spell to Su Zhiming. Especially today

she looked so beautiful. . .’

‘But it was too late now. He couldn’t break off the wedding with Li Yuyan

and even if he did

he wasn’t sure if he would be able to get Xinyan back.’

‘”You cannot bring Mr. Gu to my wedding! I know you are purposely trying to draw attention to yourself

but not at my wedding!”‘

‘He Xinyan shrugged

“I won’t bring him. He is a very busy person

you know? It’s an honor he even spent the time to go to your engagement ceremony. He doesn’t have the spare time or energy to go to your wedding

so don’t overthink.”‘

‘Li Yuyan opened her mouth to say something else

but Bai Jiawei suddenly stepped forward.’

‘”Yanyan

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