Chapter 123 He Xinyan's Outfit
The next few days passed by quickly, and He Xinyan tried not to think about the meeting with Gu Yechen's parents.
On the Friday before the meeting, He Xinyan left after lunch to go film her only scene of the day.
She arrived and changed before going to Gu Yebei's changing room. He had arrived early in the morning since he had a lot of scenes today.
She knocked once before walking in and saw that Gu Yebei was on a phone call.
"- and she's really kind too!" Gu Yebei turned around and saw He Xinyan. His eyes widened slightly and he cleared his throat before whispering, "Okay, mom. I have to go now. Goodbye!"
Gu Yebei hung up the phone and stood up, "Little Yanyan!"
He Xinyan walked over to him and grabbed the milk tea on the table, knowing it was for her.
"Who were you talking to?"
Gu Yebei chuckled, "No one."
"Oh, so you were calling yourself?"
"Yes! I mean, no! Ah, don't worry about it, little Yanyan. Let's go watch Yang Siyue film." Gu Yebei pushed He Xinyan out of the room and they walked to the filming location together.
As they walked, He Xinyan glanced at him.
"You know that news about me and you?"
"Yes. I sued the news company already."
He Xinyan smiled, "Do you know who's behind it?"
Gu Yebei shook his head, "Isn't it just a news company wanting some news."
"No. You know Shen Xiner?"
Gu Yebei immediately scrunched his face up, "Ew! I know her! The daughter of the Shen family, right? What about her?"
He Xinyan grinned at Gu Yebei's reaction, "She likes your brother, right?"
Gu Yebei immediately stopped walking and his eyes widened, "Little Yanyan, you don't have to worry about her! I swear my brother doesn't like her! She is the one that likes my brother and keeps spreading rumors about her parents and my parents arranging a marriage between the two of them. However, my brother doesn't even care about her! My parents also don't like her! They all know that she is just some stupid white lotus!"
He Xinyan laughed, "Why is your reaction so dramatic? I'm not worried about her!"
Gu Yebei let out a breath of relief, "Okay, good. Why did you ask about her?"
They continued walking, "She was behind the news. I guess she was trying to make your brother think I wasn't loyal to him. However, she underestimated Gu Yechen's ability."
Gu Yebei nodded, "I told you she was stupid!"
He Xinyan raised one eyebrow, "You said that your parents also don't like her? Then what type of girl do your parents like?"
Gu Yebei shrugged, "I don't know. My dad just likes my mom. My mom. . . I don't know. But I know she doesn't like Shen Xiner. My mom does treat Shen Xiner nicely because the Gu family is friends with the Shen family after all. However, my mom used to always tell my brother not to be with Shen Xiner."
He Xinyan perked her ears up as she got more curious, "Why?"
"Little Yanyan, let me tell you. Me, Gu Yechen, my dad, and my mom are all very good at looking through people to see what they really are."
He Xinyan chuckled. So he was saying that they all had a good eye for people?
"For example, me! I immediately knew Shen Xiner was no good person once I met her! She's so fake! She acts all nice in front of my brother, and then becomes all arrogant and annoying in front of me! So double-sided! In comparison, little Yanyan, you are so much more fit to be my sister-in-law!"
He Xinyan looked down with a smile. Gu Yebei was indeed very good at talking! She should ask Gu Yechen to give him another allowance increase when she had the chance.
"My mom also has a good eye for people, and she agrees with me. She probably got that trait from me."
". . ." Shouldn't it be that you probably got the trait from her? Whatever. . . One should never question Gu Yebei's IQ.
"She knows that Shen Xiner is really fake and spoiled. I mean, she is the only daughter of the Shen family, and her parents treat her like a princess. So annoying! Anyway, my entire family doesn't like her. Including my brother! So, little Yanyan, you don't have to worry."
He Xinyan smiled as they reached the filming location, "Thank you for the information. I'll help you get another allowance increase from your brother if I can."
Gu Yebei's eyes lit up, "Yes! I love you, sister-in-law!"
They sat down in their chairs and watched as Yang Siyue filmed her scene.
'Shen Xiner. . .' He Xinyan tilted her head to one side as she took a sip of her milk tea. She will let her go this once because she had a lot of things on her plate right now and didn't have the time or energy to deal with Shen Xiner.
After Yang Siyue finished, it was He Xinyan's scene.
As she filmed, someone watched her from far away. She was wearing a black hat and black sunglasses. Although it wasn't very cold, she had a thick scarf wrapped around her neck and it covered her all the way to her mouth.
Several people glanced at her as they walked past because she looked very suspicious in that outfit.
She stared at He Xinyan filming, and slowly nodded her head. The woman removed her sunglasses and a sparkle shone in her eyes as she watched He Xinyan.
With a smile, the woman turned around and left the filming site.

The next day, He Xinyan woke up early to prepare for the meeting with Gu Yechen's parents.
She had watched several videos yesterday and figured out the perfect look for meeting elders!
He Xinyan walked into her closet and picked out a white blouse with long sleeves. She tucked it into a baby pink skirt that reached her ankles and wore a pair of two-inch heels in the same color as the skirt.
Her handbag was also a pink color in the same shade as the skirt. For her hair, she straightened it and left it down.
For makeup, she only put on a simple foundation, drew her eyebrows, and wore a light pink lipstick. She took a step back and looked at her reflection in the mirror.
He Xinyan clicked her tongue and turned around as she stared at herself.
So unnatural. . . so weird. . .
The internet said that when meeting your boyfriend's parents, it is good to dress in a simple and sweet outfit. The outfit should give off a gentle and clean vibe, and it will add a lot of points.
He Xinyan stared at herself and nodded her head.
It was 10 A.M. and the meeting was at 12. She walked down the stairs and left the house. As she walked by, Li Huiran and Li Yuyan stared at her weirdly, but she ignored them.
She had called a taxi, and she left the Xihe Estates. She told Gu Yechen yesterday that she would be going to a shopping mall to buy a gift for his parents first, so they could go to the Puxi Restaurant separately.
Gu Yechen had told her that there was no need, but she thought that it would be more polite and respectful since it was the first meeting.
He Xinyan drove to the shopping mall and stepped out of the car.
