Chapter 78 My Name Is Gu Yechen

He Xinyan grabbed a grape and ate it slowly, “Not yet. I have to finish filming the drama first. But. . .” She looked down, “I’m going to leave the entertainment industry. I can’t do two things at once. I’m going to get everything back. . .”

A dangerous sparkle flashed past He Xinyan’s eyes as she clenched her hands together. Gu Yechen liked this tough part to her, but his heart also hurt when he saw this. 

His woman didn’t need to be so strong or smart. . . He wanted to protect and shield her from all dangers, and help her. However, he knew that she was determined to get everything back by herself. Helping her wouldn’t do him any good, and it might just make her unhappy. 

Gu Yechen smiled and gently patted Xinyan’s head. It’s okay. She could fight and do whatever she wanted. He would always be behind her, waiting to catch her if she were to ever fall or get hurt.

—

He Xinyan stayed at Gu Yechen’s house for the rest of the time and also changed into the dress there. After getting ready, they entered Gu Yechen’s car and left for the engagement ceremony. 

In the car, He Xinyan stared at her reflection through the mirror and admired her different makeup style. Her usual natural look was gone, and it was replaced with a glam makeup with a bold red lipstick and glittery eye shadow. 

Matched with the beautiful red dress, she looked stunning and sexy.

When the car pulled into the drop-off zone, the people walking in all glanced their way and whispered to each other. 

Gu Yechen had said he picked the least flashy car in his collection, but it was still very expensive and rare. 

He got out of the car and walked around it to open the door for He Xinyan. Her sparkly silver heel stepped out of the car and onto the velvet carpet. She rested her hand onto Gu Yechen’s and stood up proudly. 

The whispering only got louder after she got out. No one knew who they were, but they whispered about them because they looked too attractive. 

With the heels on, He Xinyan was almost as tall as Gu Yechen as they walked into the hotel together. They really were a match made in heaven. 

The entire way to the elevator was filled with looks from guests and workers. He Xinyan maintained her cold expression to match her sexy goddess image. 

On the second floor, they walked over to the large lobby where the ceremony and wedding would be held, and it was filled with people at the moment.

People weren’t seated yet as they talked amongst themselves. At the front of the room stood Bai Jiawei, Li Huiran, Li Yuyan, Su Zhiming, and Su Zhiming’s parents as guests came over to congratulate them.

As He Xinyan and Gu Yechen got closer and closer to the door, people began to notice them.

”Look, look! Isn’t that man so handsome?! I wonder who he is?”

”Don’t you see the woman next to him? Wow. . . She looks amazing. Oh, I wish I had that face and body!”

”That. . . Does she look like the daughter of the He family to you?”

”You mean Li Yuyan? She’s over there.” The lady pointed towards the front of the room.

”No, I mean He Xinyan.”

By the time the two of them walked through the door, most of the people inside the room had their eyes on them. Naturally, the people at the front of the room also saw them.

Gu Yechen calmly led He Xinyan to the front of the room, who raised an eyebrow amusedly. Seems like Gu Yechen could read her mind! Her planned first move was to greet the new couple too!

The crowd parted as they gaped at the beautiful sight of the two of them. 

”Congratulations sister. . . and brother-in-law.” He Xinyan smiled genuinely, but to Li Yuyan, it looked like a grinning vixen. Naturally, Su Zhiming’s eyes had been glued onto He Xinyan since the moment he saw her. 

Which was exactly what He Xinyan wanted to achieve. 

She glanced at Su Zhiming and moved a little close to Gu Yechen with a smile. 

”Yanyan, who is this?” Bai Jiawei was also amazed at this refreshing sight of his daughter, and he slightly furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Gu Yechen.

”He’s the man we saw the other day on the top floor,” Li Yuyan said.

Bai Jiawei raised one eyebrow and looked at Gu Yechen up and down, “You are. . . a member of the Gu family?”

Gu Yechen nodded his head slightly with no response. 

His disrespectful attitude aggravated Bai Jiawei a little, who crossed his arms together, “So do you work in the Gu Corporation?”

Gu Yechen nodded his head again.

Bai Jiawei knit his eyebrows together, “Can you not talk? As a member of the Gu family, did they not teach you basic manners like respecting your elders? Or maybe the Gu family doesn’t even acknowledge you much, do they?”

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow as an amused smile crept up her face. Bringing Gu Yechen here was a right decision. . . She couldn’t wait to watch the scene unfold. Watching Bai Jiawei slap himself in the face was very, very entertaining!

Gu Yechen didn’t seem bothered by Bai Jiawei’s words as he stared straight into his eyes.

This only made Bai Jiawei more annoyed. How dare some random guy that only has a tiny relation to the Gu family disrespect him?!

”What is your name?”

Gu Yechen grinned, “Gu Yechen.”

Dead silent. The entire lobby was dead silent. Most people had their attention on Gu Yechen and He Xinyan since they walked into the room, and they were listening to the conversation the entire time. This was also why Bai Jiawei was mad, because he felt that he lost face in front of all these people.

However, now. . .

He Xinyan watched as her dad’s smile disappeared and his face turned more and more pale, and she had to work hard to suppress a laugh. 

”Gu. . . Gu Yechen?!” Li Yuyan took a step back as her assumption was proved to be true. She was the one that had originally said that Gu Yechen was some random relative of the Gu family, but that was also to convince herself that He Xinyan’s man wasn’t actually still the CEO of the Gu Corporation.

The entire lobby gasped and many began whispering amongst themselves.

”Gu Yechen?! Isn’t that the name of the Gu Empire head right now? The CEO of the Gu Corporation?”

”I think so. I’ve seen his name on the news several times. It’s really him?! Wow, I can’t believe he actually looks that handsome! Ahh, if I could be his girlfriend, I would die with no regrets!”

”Ch! Don’t you see the daughter of the He family standing next to him. . . Wait, there was news about them several months ago! Oh my, I remember now! So it’s really true! The daughter of the He family is dating Gu Yechen! Wow, I’m so jealous of her!”

The people also quickly caught on to the irony in the situation, “Wait. Didn’t you hear? A few seconds ago, didn’t Mr. Bai say that Gu Yechen was some random relative of the Gu family? Hahahaha, that’s funny! Looks like the dad himself doesn’t know his daughter is dating such a powerful figure!”

Bai Jiawei heard some of the mocking of the guests and his face turned green. However, in comparison to losing face, offending the boss of the Gu Corporation was a thousand times worse.

”Hahaha, so you’re President Gu! Nice to meet you!”

Bai Jiawei stretched a hand out with a smile, but Gu Yechen remained standing still. Bai Jiawei didn’t care about the disrespect anymore, and this only made him more scared. Was President Gu mad?

Bai Jiawei awkwardly pulled his hand back and turned to look at He Xinyan, “Yanyan, why didn’t you tell us that the person you are dating is President Gu?! You should have told me!”

”I told her not to tell you.”

”. . .” Once again, Bai Jiawei was left not knowing what to say.

”Oh! Hahahaha. . .”

He Xinyan watched the scene happily as she smoothly slid her small hand into Gu Yechen’s large palm. His face moved slightly as a small grin appeared on his face.

She was saying thank you. At first, she had been a little hesitant to bring Gu Yechen, but now she knew it was the right decision. She couldn’t have done any better!

Not only did Bai Jiawei slap his own face, but Su Zhiming also didn’t look very pleased as he frowned at He Xinyan and Gu Yechen. 

Li Yuyan was also very angry that He Xinyan and Gu Yechen had stolen the spotlight from her during her engagement ceremony! She had to make sure Gu Yechen didn’t come again during her wedding!

Li Yuyan cleared her throat and plastered a smile onto her face, “Hello, Mr. Gu. I am Li Yuyan, Yanyan’s sister.”
