Chapter 113 Miss He is not someone you provoked
He Yan was momentarily at a loss when the He family showed her goodwill.
But later she found that such emotions could be troublesome.
"I won't try to please anyone. It's not that there's something wrong with my personality, but rather that relationships are two-way. Even if we are related by blood, it doesn't mean anything."
He Yan looked up at He Yunyi and explained to him very seriously.
She also has some reasons that have been bothering her lately.
“I can understand that you are very reluctant to part with He Yiyi, because you have been together for twenty years.”
However, the He family members were all deceived and unaware of the evil in He Yiyi's heart.
Those were personal grudges, and He Yan wouldn't reveal them.
“It’s different. Yiyi is a younger sister, and you are a younger sister too.”
He Yunyi frowned, wanting to refute, and he also wanted to deny his favoritism.
Feeling indebted, they have already begun to make amends.
“I understand that you’re angry because we’ve given all our love to Yiyi, but that’s understandable. Do you really have to hold a grudge?”
"I don't mind."
He Yan spoke very seriously and frankly, and she didn't think she had anything to worry about.
Because she didn't lack love; she was cared for and nurtured growing up.
"Feelings don't need a reason. If you expect me to take the initiative or you to do something, then it's deliberate and the feelings are just superficial, not genuine."
A relationship that requires exchange to be formed will never last.
Her personality dictates that she will not compromise.
"So I am who I am, and I will not become anyone else."
"Where did you get this psychological game theory from? It seems to make a lot of sense, and I can't refute it."
He Yunyi's face was filled with disbelief and shock.
He discovered that He Yan had a strong sense of logic.
For a moment, he was almost captivated by He Yan, but he was unwilling to admit it.
He felt embarrassed to be rendered speechless by his sister's retort.
"I just feel that we'll always be a family."
He Yunyi felt that He Yan had exposed his desire to have his cake and eat it too.
But they forgot that their favoritism had already caused He Yan to suffer.
"It's best to let things take their natural course."
He Yan is very open-minded and doesn't excessively pursue things she can't force.
"You... hey!"
He Yunyi couldn't argue with him at all.
He also felt a little annoyed and uncomfortable. People who are used to being proud are unaware of their mistakes because they are bound by fixed ideas and feel that they should be rewarded for their efforts.
The same goes for He Yan; they felt she should change her mind and come back to them.
Just then, a sudden sound came.
"Oh, isn't this President He? It's a pleasure to meet you, I've heard so much about you!"
He Yan turned her head and saw a man whose entire being exuded arrogance walking towards her.
The man was around thirty years old, with a slicked-back hairstyle, earrings, and a suit but no tie. The gold necklace around his neck and the gold watch on his wrist were incredibly eye-catching under the lights.
She frowned slightly, thinking she was seeing a peacock.
Too ostentatious.
He Yunyi's expression also quickly became serious.
"Mr. Gu, what a coincidence, you're also here for this antique exhibition?"
He knew that Gu Xuanyu's visit here was definitely not for anything good, because the Gu family was also involved in antique investment.
The two are also rivals.
"Mr. He, what are you saying? You are in Beijing, and I am in Tianjin. Now that you have come to my territory, as the host, I must come out and entertain you, otherwise people will say that I am impolite."
Gu Xuanyu strode over and took the initiative to shake hands with He Yunyi.
Even when making polite remarks, he spoke with extreme arrogance, and his eyes were sharp.
He Yunyi frowned slightly, forced to confront Gu Xuanyu's arrogance head-on.
He took over the company and developed it to its current size entirely on his own, without the involvement of any other family members.
Therefore, they lacked confidence in the face of a powerful financial family like the Gu family in Tianjin.
"Mr. Gu is so busy, I dare not disturb you. It's also because this exhibition is too important, and I have to stay here to keep an eye on things. I'm so busy that I haven't had time to visit you. I'm sorry for being impolite."
He Yunyi could only endure it.
He has a gentle personality, but in front of Gu Xuanyu, he is less imposing.
He Yan observed the superficial flattery between the two without revealing her true feelings.
Out of the corner of her eye, she also caught a glimpse of He Yunyi's vulnerability.
It seems that this President Gu is someone important, and someone that He Yunyi is quite wary of.
He Yan had no intention of helping.
She came here to keep a low profile and didn't want to get involved in anything unrelated to revealing her identity.
However, sometimes, problems just come knocking on your door.
"Is this Mr. He's female companion?"
Gu Xuanyu glanced at He Yan, his eyes filled with an arrogant smile.
"This is my younger sister, He Yan, not my female companion."
He Yunyi frowned, instinctively feeling that Gu Xuanyu's smile was malicious.
He felt uncomfortable seeing their relationship being misunderstood and wanted to protect it.
"Oh, so this is the real daughter of the He family."
Gu Xuanyu then turned his head and began to properly examine He Yan.
When other women saw her, they were either terrified and trembling or greedy and eager to get close to her, each one more vulgar than the last. But this He Yan had calm and indifferent eyes.
This unusualness immediately piqued his curiosity.
He really wanted to know if she was as she seemed.
"Miss He, hello. I am Gu Xuanyu, the heir of the Gu family in Jinshi."
"Hello."
He Yan's answer was concise.
However, when Gu Xuanyu shook hands with her, she took the opportunity to pinch his pressure points.
In just a moment, his arrogant aura was suppressed.
Gu Xuanyu felt his hand suddenly go numb and his expression froze.
Even after withdrawing his hand, he hadn't recovered.
"Miss He is so cute, do you have a boyfriend?"
He realized that He Yan was indeed very different, and his smile widened.
"Mr. Gu, you flatter me. However, my sister married Mr. Bo a month ago and is now the young mistress of the Bo family."
He Yunyi finally confirmed his suspicions and knew what Gu Xuanyu was up to.
He was initially angry that He Yan only had the Bo family in her heart.
Unexpectedly, now only the Bo family can protect her.
"Master Bo? Bo Siheng?"
Gu Xuanyu's expression twisted for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
He was also thinking about the girl's personality, and that playing with her would probably be quite unique.
I never expected that she was from the Bo family in Beijing.
The Bo family is someone he truly cannot afford to offend, no matter how many ideas he has.
"Yes, he is my husband."
He Yan raised her eyes, her gaze filled with danger. Even without the Bo family's status, she was not afraid of such a person.
She just didn't expect that He Yunyi would take the initiative to protect her.
At this moment, Lin Boxing also came over.
"President He, President Gu, did I interrupt your conversation?"
He heard about what was happening here and came over intentionally to ease the tension.
He had to give face to the Gu family, but He Yan's identity was something he needed to protect even more.
"President Lin, you're too kind. President He and I were just chatting casually, and we're done now."
Distracted by this, Gu Xuanyu lost interest in staying any longer.
Although he was arrogant, he couldn't afford to break ties with Chairman Lin.
“Mrs. Bo, I have a piece of calligraphy by Yan Zhenqing that I’d like to find a kindred spirit in. I’ve heard that Old Madam Bo has always been fond of calligraphy and painting. I wonder if you would be interested in taking a look?”
“Okay, I also came here this time to give Grandma a special gift.”
He Yan immediately understood his meaning and followed him.
When she got to the office, she got straight to the point.
"What does Chairman Lin want with me?"
Lin Boxing immediately directed He Yan to the private room.
"Actually, there is an antique painting or calligraphy that has been damaged, and I would like to ask you to repair it."
