Chapter 175 Mrs. Gu’s Position in Mr. Gu’s Heart

He Xinyan looked up, “I can -“

However, Yi Qiansi had already scooped up the porridge and was gently blowing on it. He lifted it up to her lips and smiled gently.

He Xinyan hesitated for a moment before finally opening her mouth and gulping down the warm porridge. It was sweet and very pleasant to her dry mouth.

He fed her the entire bowl of porridge before standing up, “Do you want some water?”

He Xinyan nodded her head.

Yi Qiansi put a straw into the glass of water and lifted it up for He Xinyan to drink.

”It is important to get a lot of rest since you are still recovering. You should be able to walk around and sit up on your own very soon.”

Since He Xinyan was at her physical peak, her body recovered really quickly. She could already feel that she was better than yesterday.

”Thank you.” She said as she laid back down to sleep.

Yi Qiansi smiled before walking out of the room.

Gu Yechen hadn’t gone to the company in a long time, and his parents all came to visit him. When they heard of the news that He Xinyan was dead/missing, Xu Mengya almost fainted on the spot.

She was sobbing and kept saying things like, “I finally have a daughter-in-law now, and now she’s gone? Ah! My Yanyan!”

In the end, Gu Hanyu brought his wife home to calm her down and not cause any more problems for Gu Yechen.

Gu Yechen’s mustache was more visible now, and his hair was very messy. He hadn’t changed his clothes in several days already, and his temper was very bad.

Chen Xiao knocked before walking into Gu Yechen’s home office, and he tried to stop himself from shaking from fear.

”Boss?”

”What?” Gu Yechen was standing near the window, holding a cigarette in between his fingers. He never smoked, but since He Xinyan was reported to be dead, he smoked at least twice a day.

Chen Xiao sighed. If Mrs. Gu were here, she would definitely scold Mr. Gu for smoking.

He Xinyan hated when people smoked, because not only did it harm the body, but she also disliked the smell a lot. That was another reason why she liked Gu Yechen, because he didn’t smoke.

”Mr. Gu, we still haven’t found any information about Mrs. Gu’s whereabouts. Maybe. . . maybe. . . she’s. . . d-“

”Keep looking!” Gu Yechen screamed, crushing the cigarette in his fingers. He threw it into the ash pan and sat down on his seat.

”Go! Find her!”

Chen Xiao mustered up his courage to say, “Mr. Gu, the news all say there is no way there are any survivors from the accident and explosion. The company needs you, Mr. Gu. Mrs. Gu is -“

Gu Yechen picked up the vase on his desk and threw it onto the ground, causing it to break into small pieces of porcelain.

”Get out! Get out!” Gu Yechen jumped up from his chair and glared at Chen Xiao with his eyes red.

Chen Xiao gulped and quickly left the room. Many of Mr. Gu’s friends or relatives have died before, but he had never seen Mr. Gu like this.

Even if he was sad, he never showed it, and never had his emotions interact with his work. 

It seemed like Mrs. Gu’s position in Mr. Gu’s heart was very heavy. . .

Chen Xiao sighed and left the house.

Gu Yebei was inside Wu Minger’s apartment right now, gently rubbing away her tears.

”It’s okay, Minger. Don’t cry, baby.” 

Wu Minger began to cry even louder, “Xinyan! My Yanyan! How could she die so suddenly like this?!”

Gu Yebei sighed, “I’m sure sister-in-law won’t want to see you sad right now. She is happier up there.”

Wu Minger began crying even more violently, and she buried her head into Gu Yebei’s chest.

Meanwhile, an important meeting was going on in the He Corporation. 

The room was dead silent before Bai Jiawei finally opened his mouth.

”Recently, there was news of a horrible car accident followed by an explosion in Country X. In that car, was. . .” Bai Jiawei pressed his lips together and looked down, “My daughter, Xinyan, was inside that car.”

All of the shareholders gasped and looked amongst themselves in surprise. 

Li Yuyan, meanwhile, was trying her best to also act sad, but it was practically impossible for her not to smile.

Bai Jiawei was much more experienced, and if you didn’t know, you would even feel bad for him. He was just like a heartbroken father who just lost his daughter, and no one would even guess that it was him who caused the accident.

”As you all know, Xinyan was in the CEO competition, but now. . . but now -” Bai Jiawei looked down and pretended to wipe his nonexistent tears.

Many of the shareholders sighed and tried to comfort him.

”The decision of who will be the CEO is obvious now, but I would want to postpone the announcement of the final decision. My daughter just died, and I don’t think it is fit to have the competition result meeting so soon.”

The shareholders all nodded their heads in agreement.

”Thank you all for your understanding. I will announce the date of the board of directors meeting very soon.”

Bai Jiawei took a deep breath before walking out of the room. Li Yuyan quickly followed behind him, and the shareholders all slowly filed out.

The shareholders who were all going to vote for He Xinyan were very unhappy with this result, but they knew that nothing could be done.

—

A few days had passed and He Xinyan was able to get out of bed and walk around now. 

She was feeling a lot better, but her body was still a little sore.

One night, she was eating dinner at the table with Yi Qiansi. This was the first time she had left her room, and she was very awed by the design of the place she was in.

She didn’t know a place like this existed! It was exactly like the royal palaces in movies, and the place was so big, she would definitely get lost if there weren’t people guiding her.

He Xinyan cleared her throat and put down her fork and knife.

”Yi Shao, can I borrow your phone?”
