Chapter 121 About He Xinyan  

She stretched her arms out and said, "Xiner!"

Shen Xiner stepped into the room and hugged the woman across from her, "Auntie Xu!"

Xu Mengya pulled back and looked at Shen Xiner, "Xiner, why are you here?"

"I missed you, Auntie Xu. I am here to visit you!"

Xu Mengya laughed, "Your mouth is so sweet! Come in, come in. I haven't seen you in a long time."

Shen Xiner stepped into the house and Xu Mengya turned around to lock the door. As she did so, her smile slightly faltered.

The two of them walked arm in arm into the living room and they sat down together on the couch. Xu Mengya went into the kitchen quickly to get two cups of tea before coming back out.

"How have you been recently, Xiner."

Shen Xiner smiled, "Great. I started to work in the Shen Corporation to get used to the way things work. My dad says that I should start from the bottom and slowly work my way up to prove myself."

Xu Mengya nodded her head, "Yes, that's right. But you are brilliant, I'm sure you will do well."

Shen Xiner smiled, "Auntie Xu, how have you been recently?"

Xu Mengya sighed, "Good. You know what I do. I just stay in the house and do nothing."

Shen Xiner grinned, "That's because Uncle Gu loves you."

Xu Mengya's smile disappeared as she rolled her eyes, "That stupid man! He doesn't let me do anything!"

Shen Xiner stood up from her seat and walked around the table to the couch Xu Mengya was sitting on. She sat down next to her and placed both hands onto Xu Mengya's arm.

"Don't say that! I'm sure Uncle Gu loves you very much."

Xu Mengya smiled sweetly and slowly nodded her head. She looked down at Shen Xiner's hands and slowly moved her arm away.

Shen Xiner cleared her throat and smiled, "What about brother Yechen? Has he come to visit you often?"

Xu Mengya slapped one hand onto her thigh angrily, "Don't even mention that stupid kid! He has completely forgotten about his mother now! He never even comes back occasionally for dinner! I don't even know what he is up to these days!"

Shen Xiner listened intently, and she raised one eyebrow slightly when she heard what Xu Mengya said. She grinned. Perfect!

"I went to the Gu Corporation recently and saw. . ." Shen Xiner paused and looked down.

"Saw what?"

Shen Xiner bit her lips slightly, "Saw. . . Um. . . I'm not sure if I should say it. What if brother Yechen gets mad at me?"

helemon's note: Ughh, I apologize for pulling you away from the story, but I just have to say: What a stupid white lotus! Ahh, I hate her! Okay, back to the story.

Xu Mengya's curiosity sparked and she moved closer to Shen Xiner as she eagerly wanted to hear the gossip, "Just tell me! Don't worry about that stupid boy! I'll scold him if he gets mad at you!"

Shen Xiner looked up and took a deep breath, "I saw a woman in his office. I think brother Yechen is dating someone now."

A sparkle flashed past Xu Mengya's eyes as she raised one eyebrow, "Dating? Impossible! That stupid boy seems to hate all women that sometimes I wonder if he is even straight! And there is no way any woman would like his stupid and cold personality!"

Shen Xiner blushed slightly, "I like him."

Xu Mengya cleared her throat and returned to the original subject, "Are you sure? Is he really dating someone?"

Shen Xiner's shoulders sank as she said, "I'm not sure since brother Yechen didn't admit to the relationship, however it is very likely. He hugged her and they acted very romantically in front of me."

Xu Mengya licked her lips as she suppressed a smile and she placed both hands onto Shen Xiner's arm.

"Do you know who that girl is?"

Shen Xiner nodded her head, "Her name is He Xinyan. She is in the entertainment industry."

Shen Xiner quickly glanced up at Xu Mengya, expecting for her expression to change or get mad at Gu Yechen's girlfriend being in a dirty and complicated industry like entertainment.

However, she didn't see any change in expression. Shen Xiner frowned slightly and guessed that maybe Xu Mengya was just hiding it.

"Do you know anything else? Tell me everything you know about that girl."

Shen Xiner blinked a few times before clearing her throat, "Well, I did look into her a little bit. After all, brother Yechen isn't close with many women. So I got quite interested in her."

Xu Mengya frowned slightly, "Go on."

"She's the young miss of the He family. Auntie Xu might not know about them but the He family owns the He Corporation. Her mother died when she was young and her dad married another woman not long after her original wife's death. Her stepmother is called Li Huiran and her stepmother also has a daughter called Li Yuyan."

Xu Mengya's frown deepened when she heard that Bai Jiawei had remarried right after his original wife's death.

Shen Xiner continued, "My sources found that He Xinyan had a boyfriend before called Su Zhiming. However, they broke up and her ex-boyfriend married her stepsister! I think Su Zhiming has a small entertainment company that he owns."

Shen Xiner sighed, "I don't know why brother Yechen is dating her. She seems to have a really messy life and when I met her at the Gu Corporation, she was really rude to me."

Shen Xiner looked down pitifully, "She seems to be very proud of brother Yechen liking her, and she doesn't even treat me respectfully."

Shen Xiner suddenly gasped, "Also, there was news about her that came out this morning! But. . . I don't know if I should say it or not."

Xu Mengya raised one eyebrow curiously, "What news?"

"Well. . . there was news that He Xinyan is dating Yebei. I didn't believe it since I thought she was dating Gu Yechen, and it would be horrible of her if she dated the two of them at the same time. However, there was a picture of them too!"

Shen Xiner covered her mouth quickly, "Uh oh, did I say too much?"

Xu Mengya glanced at Shen Xiner and smiled, "No. It's getting late. Xiner, you should go home. Your parents will worry about you."

Shen Xiner's job here was done, so she stood up.

"Then I'll leave now, Auntie Xu. I'll come and visit you often."

Xu Mengya smiled, "Okay."

They walked over to the door together and Shen Xiner left. Xu Mengya watched as Shen Xiner entered her car and the car left before closing the door.

After closing the door, Xu Mengya slowly walked back to the living room and sat down on the couch. She tapped her fingers gently on her knee.

'Shen Xiner. . .' Xu Mengya shook her head and stood up with a sigh.

--- Two hours later

Gu Hanyu returned home and immediately saw his wife standing at the door, waiting for him. He grinned and kissed her on the forehead.

"What's wrong?" They had been married for so many years now that he could immediately notice something was wrong with his wife without her saying anything.

"Shen Xiner came over today."

Gu Hanyu raised one eyebrow, "For what?"

He wrapped one arm around her waist and they walked into the house together.

"She said that Yechen is dating."

Gu Hanyu smiled, "Really? That's a surprise!"

"I thought so too! That stupid guy had no feelings towards any girl since he came out from my stomach. I don't believe that he is dating. However, Shen Xiner seems to be saying the truth."

Gu Hanyu put down his bag and wrapped both his arms around Xu Mengya's waist, "If you are suspicious, just call our son. Ask him to bring his girlfriend over for a meal with us."

Xu Mengya's eyes widened, "Ah! How did I not think of that?! I can just call him!"

Gu Hanyu chuckled at his cute wife, "You call him. I'll go make dinner."

Xu Mengya pulled out her phone and clicked the contact name, 'Stupid Son.'

There were several beeps before the other end picked up.

"You stupid boy, you forgot about your mom, right?! I haven't seen you in so long and you don't even bother calling me! Why did I even spend so much energy to raise you!"

Gu Yechen stopped typing on his computer and sighed, "Madam Xu, what is it?"

"Shen Xiner came over today and told me you have a girlfriend! I am your mom, how come I don't know about it?!"

Gu Yechen licked his lips and put the call on speaker mode, "Well now you know."

"You - You stupid boy! Why didn't you tell me?! Who is she?! I want to meet her!"

Gu Yechen pinched the skin in between his eyebrows, "I'll ask her."

"Yes, yes! You ask her! Hurry up and bring her over!"

Gu Yechen sighed, "Okay, okay. Madam Xu, I still have work to do. I'll talk to you later. Goodbye."

"Gu Yechen, you dare hang up on me -"

Before the other side could finish, Gu Yechen hung up the call and put down his phone. He leaned back against his chair and closed his eyes.

However, he suddenly heard the door click open and he looked up to see who it was.
