Reborn To Love

Chapter 220 Gu Kexin

　　”Mom, calm down. Chener must have a good eye for people, and he really likes that girl. I think that girl isn’t bad. Look, she also bought a present for you.”

As she spoke, she looked over at Gu Yechen and He Xinyan.

He Xinyan was looking down, so she obviously didn’t notice. 

On the other hand, Gu Yechen did notice, but he didn’t move.

Wang Yani looked up and saw that they didn’t move. She had also noticed He Xinyan’s small finger movements to Gu Yechen, and that only made her dislike He Xinyan more.

Wang Yani scoffed, “You think the presents in her hands are for you? Ch! What do we not have that we need other people to give it to us?”

He Xinyan heard this and she finally looked up.

However, she still didn’t move.

”Gu Yechen!” His second aunt, Li Xinqu, knit her eyebrows together and waved a hand at Gu Yechen, signaling for him to hurry and bring the present over to his grandma.

However, Gu Yechen was in no way going to listen to her.

”Grandma is right. The Gu family has everything. They don’t lack presents or anything. . . We didn’t have much time, so we didn’t prepare anything.”

Li Xinqu’s frown deepened as she pressed her lips together.

Wang Yani’s face also darkened as there wasn’t a single trace of a smile on her face anymore.

Meanwhile, He Xinyan was giggling internally. Her man was indeed very. . . cold.

And, she also had to praise her sixth sense. Indeed, this trip wasn’t very smooth or pleasant. If she had known it would be like this, she definitely wouldn’t have come to get herself into this mess.

Not everyone was like Auntie Xu. . .

And, she didn’t expect everyone to be like Auntie Xu. 

Gu Yechen pulled He Xinyan over to where Gu Hanyu and Xu Mengya were sitting, and sat down next to them. 

Although Gu Yechen’s behavior right now was very. . . unfilial, Gu Hanyu didn’t seem to plan on helping his mother. He didn’t seem to even notice the tense argument going on right now.

This made He Xinyan wonder why Gu Hanyu’s attitude towards his own mother was so indifferent.

”Grandma, I called sister Kexin earlier, and she said she is almost back.” At this moment, the son of Gu Yechen’s third uncle, Gu Zihao, spoke.

”Really? Ah, that girl should be back soon. Xinqu, go tell the kitchen to cook some more dishes that she likes to eat. Who knows what she has been up to these days? She rarely comes home to visit me now even though she graduated college already.”

Once the name Kexin was mentioned, Wang Yani’s smile reappeared. Her eyes were full of gentleness as she spoke about her.

He Xinyan immediately recognized the name Kexin. . . Gu Kexin. . . The girl that Gu Yechen’s grandmother adopted? She did not think that her position in Gu Yechen’s grandmother’s heart was so heavy.

”Yes, yes! I will go tell the kitchen right away. Ah, you just love that kid way too much. Even more than your own biological grandson!” Li Xinqu chuckled softly.

Wang Yani also laughed, “That kid is very obedient and also very sweet. She is the best at making me happy! I like kids like her.”

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow slightly. She pretended to not understand the hidden meaning behind Wang Yani’s words. However, she was becoming more and more curious about this person called Gu Kexin.

After all, He Xinyan knew that Wang Yani wasn’t an easygoing or pleasant person. So, this person called Gu Kexin had to have some skill to be able to make Wang Yani like her so much.

He Xinyan suddenly looked over at Gu Yechen. A few days ago when she had asked Gu Yechen about his family members, he had briefly explained each one. . . except Gu Kexin.

”Why are you looking at me?” Gu Yechen asked.

”That person called Kexin. Why didn’t you tell me about her?”

”An irrelevant person. Why should I tell you?”

”. . .”

How could she forget? The proud and arrogant Mr. Gu. . . Why would he care about irrelevant people? Much less talk about them?!

He Xinyan nodded her head and stopped talking.

At this moment, Xu Mengya abandoned her husband once again and moved over to He Xinyan. If it weren’t for the strong and protective glare from Gu Yechen, she would have wanted to ask to switch seats with him.

He Xinyan obviously noticed the unfriendliness between the mother and son, and she couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.

”Xinyan, don’t take the evil old woman’s words to heart. She is just like that.” 

Xu Mengya pursed her lips out, “She actually thinks she is the emperor or something. She wants to meddle in everything. It’s okay, Xinyan. You are my daughter-in-law, and no one can change that!” Xu Mengya whispered into He Xinyan’s ear softly.

He Xinyan smiled as she looked up at Wang Yani, who was smiling as she spoke to Li Xinqu. Just from the happy smile on her face, He Xinyan knew that they were probably talking about Gu Kexin.

”Don’t worry, Auntie Xu. I won’t take her words to heart.”

Xu Mengya placed her hand over He Xinyan’s hand, “That’s good.”

The two of them spoke for a while longer, until there was suddenly the sound of a car engine turning off outside. Then, they heard the sound of high heels clicking against the stone ground.

Wang Yani immediately stood up from her chair with the help of Li Xinqu and walked around the table, “That child must be back!”

”Grandma!”

At once, a very sweet and bright sound came from outside the room. He Xinyan looked over and saw a tall and slim woman run in, straight for Wang Yani. She fell into Wang Yani’s embrace and hugged her tightly.

”Oh, you child. You’re finally back for your old grandma’s birthday! Come, let me take a look at you. What have you been up to recently? I haven’t seen you in so long.” Wang Yani held onto Gu Kexin’s hand tightly and pulled her over to the seat in the front.

Gu Kexin sat down next to her grandma, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face, “I was just a little busy. I’m here now, right grandma?”

When He Xinyan’s eyes landed on Gu Kexin, she couldn’t help but notice that Gu Kexin was very beautiful. It was the sweet type of beauty, but it was also very unique.

As He Xinyan’s eyes landed on her, Gu Kexin’s eyes also looked up, straight at He Xinyan.

Gu Kexin was wearing a white qipao with flowers embroidered over it, and it hugged her perfect body curves very well.

Coincidentally, He Xinyan had also chosen to wear a white qipao to the meeting today. Gu Yechen had told her that his grandma was a traditional person, so she chose a more traditional outfit.

Who would have thought that she would coincidentally wear a similar dress with Gu Kexin?!

Gu Kexin also noticed the similarity between their outfits, and her eyebrows furrowed together slightly.

Besides them, the other relatives in the room also realized the awkward situation. 

Gu Zihao, Gu Yechen’s third uncle’s son, whispered lightly, “Sister Kexin and that woman’s outfits look similar.”

His sister also nodded her head, “They do. . . However, I think the woman brother Yechen brought looks better in the dress. If you look, not only does her face look better with the outfit, but the outfit also hugs the dress better.”

Gu Zihao pursed her lips out, “I don’t think so. I think sister Kexin looks better.”

His sister rolled her eyes and stopped speaking with her brother.

Gu Kexin looked away from He Xinyan and her eyes landed on the man sitting next to her, “Brother Yechen is here!”

Gu Yechen didn’t even seem to hear her as he casually lifted up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. Gu Kexin’s smile stiffened slightly, and Wang Yani immediately noticed.

She pushed Gu Kexin slightly, “Xiner, go greet your brother.”

Gu Kexin’s smile returned as she stood up and walked over to where Gu Yechen was sitting, “Brother Yechen, I haven’t seen you in a long time. I. . . I missed you!”

He Xinyan looked down slightly as she grinned. Indeed, the only road barrier here wasn’t only Wang Yani. Another rock had just popped up! 

Gu Yechen didn’t even bother to look up as she turned to He Xinyan and frowned slightly, “Why are you grinning?”

He Xinyan also pretended not to notice that Gu Kexin had just spoken as she turned to face Gu Yechen, “Nothing! I’m not!”

Gu Yechen raised one eyebrow before smiling at her sweetly.

Gu Kexin’s eyes immediately turned slightly red as she looked over at Wang Yani, asking for help. Wang Yani frowned angrily and glared at He Xinyan and Gu Yechen.

”It’s okay, Xiner. You can go sit next to your sister Linglan.” Gu Linglan was the older daughter of Gu Yechen’s second uncle, and she immediately stood up and waved at Gu Kexin.

Gu Kexin pursed her lips out before reluctantly walking over to Gu Linglan.

Gu Linglan smiled sweetly at Gu Kexin, “Sister Kexin, you haven’t been back for so long! I missed you so much!”

”Linglan, I missed you too,” Gu Kexin’s smile returned.

”Sister Kexin, you are pretty and have good manners. I like you the most!”

Gu Kexin smiled and looked over at Gu Yechen and He Xinyan, “Linglan, you are too sweet. I am not like Miss He, a daughter of a good family. I am just an orphan.”

Gu Linglan smirked, “So what if you were born an orphan. Some rich family daughters might not even have as good of an upbringing as you! It doesn’t matter, I like you!”

Gu Kexin blushed slightly as she smiled.

He Xinyan smiled slightly as she watched their performance. Is that Gu Linglan saying she doesn’t have a good upbringing? 

At this time, Gu Yechen stood up, pulling He Xinyan up with him.

”The air quality here isn’t good, let’s go back.”
