Chapter 178 I'm Back
He Xinyan furrowed her eyebrows together and after a few seconds of serious debate, she looked up and said, "No, take me to the Gu Corporation first."
Wu Minger's mouth fell open, "The Gu Corporation? Why?!"
"Gu Yechen should be at work right now, right?"
Wu MInger thought about it and shrugged, "I'm not sure."
He Xinyan pulled out her phone and texted Gu Yechen:
'Where are you right now? What are you doing'
Gu Yechen chuckled when he saw her message, because it sounded like a wife questioning her husband to make sure he was "on task".
'I'm at work. Doing work. How are you, baby?'
He Xinyan smiled happily, 'Good! Bye!"
"Let's go to the Gu Corporation!"
Wu Minger frowned, "But. . . But, shouldn't you go get your CEO first? You can't let the stupid white lotus steal it away!"
He Xinyan grinned, "I know, I know. Of course not! However, I promised to go find Gu Yechen when I return."
Wu Minger clicked her tongue several times before starting the car.

He Xinyan went up to the top floor of the Gu Corporation alone, and the guards stopped her because she was wearing a hat and sunglasses.
She quickly pulled it off and one of the guards recognized her, and let her in.
She knocked on the door once before walking in. Gu Yechen was inside, and he seemed to be reading over a contract.
He didn't look up when he heard the door open and He Xinyan walked over to the desk. After several of silence, Gu Yechen frowned and asked, "What is it?"
When there still wasn't any response, he looked up frustratingly. He blinked a few times when his eyes landed on He Xinyan, and she smiled at him.
Gu Yechen furrowed his eyebrows together and looked back down.
He Xinyan was very confused by his reaction. Shouldn't he be very excited and happy?! Did he not even care?!
"Gu Yechen!" She screamed angrily.
Gu Yechen froze as he slowly lifted his head up again and eyed He Xinyan weirdly. After several seconds, he finally spoke.
"You're real?!"
He Xinyan scrunched her face up, "What do you mean?! Of course, I'm real!"
Gu Yechen stood up and walked around his desk. He stopped in front of her and looked down in disbelief. He slowly lifted his hand up and rested his palm onto his cheek.
For the past few weeks, he had way too many dreams and hallucinations of her coming back that he didn't know what was real or fake now. He had thought that this was also just a dream.
"When did you come back?"
"This morning! And I have to go to the He Corporation, but I came to you first! And then you say I'm fake!" He Xinyan stomped one foot onto the ground angrily and crossed her arms together.
In her imagination, Gu Yechen would jump up when he saw her and run over in shock to hug her. He would be very surprised. . . but this was exactly the opposite!
Gu Yechen smiled and pulled her into a hug. He squeezed her very tightly, almost as if to make sure she was real.
"Xinyan, you're really here."
He Xinyan looked up and blinked a few times, "Yes. . ."
Gu Yechen kissed her on the forehead gently, "I missed you."

After a quick romantic session, He Xinyan had to leave. She couldn't let the position of CEO go to Li Yuyan.
About half an hour later, she arrived at the building of the He Corporation, and she walked straight past the guards, who didn't seem to really care.
She rode the elevator up to the top floor and walked straight for the meeting room.
There was someone guarding the door to the meeting room, and they stopped He Xinyan when she walked close.
"Who are you, ma'am? You cannot enter."
He Xinyan smiled and removed her sunglasses, "You are?"
The worker didn't recognize her and stepped in front of the door, "I am a new guard here. Miss, the chairman specifically ordered that no one can enter."
He Xinyan raised one eyebrow and crossed her arms together, "No wonder! You're new so you don't recognize me. I am the future CEO and chairman of this company."
The guard knit his eyebrows together and looked around, not believing He Xinyan.
"Miss, you cannot enter. Please leave."
He Xinyan knit her eyebrows together and looked into the guard's eyes, "Trust me. You will want to be on my side in the future. Don't worry. I will make sure that you won't get in trouble for letting me in."
The guard seemed to be in his early 20s, and he was easily convinced. He gulped and dropped his arm slightly.
"What's your name? I will go in and tell the chairman you are entering."
He Xinyan placed one hand onto his shoulder to stop him, "There is no need."
The guard blinked a few times and slowly stepped aside. He Xinyan smiled at him and stepped closer to the door, leaning her face over to see if she could hear what was going on inside.
The guard scratched his head and took a step back, not knowing what to do. Should he go ask another worker?
However, before he could, he saw the woman's eyes widen and she pushed the door open.
He Xinyan heard Bai Jiawei say, "If you vote for Li Yuyan to be CEO, please raise your hand."
Of course she couldn't wait any longer!
She straightened her back and pushed the door open. At once, everyone turned to look at who just impolitely barged into the meeting.
Since He Xinyan was wearing a hat and sunglasses, the people inside didn't recognize her immediately.
She closed the door and walked towards the front of the room slowly. Everyone's eyes were on her, and many people were confused about who she was.
One of the shareholders stood up, "Who are you?! How dare you barge into a shareholders' meeting like this?! What are the security guards doing?!"
He Xinyan smirked and continued to walk, coming to a stop right in front of Bai Jiawei.
Facing him, she smiled and said, "Who am I? I am the designated future successor of the He Corporation, He Xinyan."
There were several gasps inside the room, and Bai Jiawei, who was standing straight across from her, also took a step back from disbelief.
Li Yuyan, who was sitting next to Bai Jiawei, jumped up in shock.
Li Huiran was also inside the room to witness her daughter becoming the CEO, and she jumped up in shock as well.
Bai Jiawei looked at He Xinyan up and down, not believing that it was her.
She was dead! Yes, she was definitely dead! There was no way this was possible!
He Xinyan smirked and lifted her hand up, slowly removing her sunglasses.
When Bai Jiawei saw her full face, he stumbled back in shock. His mouth fell open, and it was almost like he got struck by lightning.
Li Yuyan and Li Huiran's reactions were also quite similar, and Li Yuyan almost screamed, "You're supposed to be dead!" However, when she tried to speak, it was like she forgot how to talk. In the end, she just gaped in shock.
He Xinyan grinned from Bai Jiawei's reaction, "Dad. . . I'm back."
Bai Jiawei recovered slightly from his shock and he gulped before saying, "Xinyan, you're still alive?"
He Xinyan's smile widened as she turned around to face the shareholders and the reporters inside the room. The reporters were all taking images by now to capture this unbelievable sight.
"Hello everyone. I am He Xinyan. About a month ago, I experienced a very scary accident. However, I was able to escape from the brink of death."
He Xinyan smiled and said jokingly, "I am sure this is because of all the charity work my grandfather and mother did when they were still alive."
Her joking smile disappeared as she grinned, "What goes around comes around, it is only a question of time."
Li Yuyan glanced at her mother when she heard this, and they both shivered in fear. Of course, Bai Jiawei wasn't any better. He pressed his lips together and also looked down guiltily.
"I was able to escape death this time. . . Sometimes, I think that maybe it is because my grandpa and mother are protecting me from the heavens."
She smiled, "Now, I am back safe and sound."
Bai Jiawei gulped and tried to maintain a calm composure.
He Xinyan looked at him and grinned, "Dad, smile. I'm alive. . . Aren't you happy?"
Bai Jiawei squeezed out a smile, "Happy. . . Haha. . . Of course I'm happy."
Li Huiran also tried to smile in front of all the cameras, although it was very hard. Meanwhile, Li Yuyan was clenching her teeth together in anger, and there was no way she could even pretend to smile.
Bai Jiawei held onto He Xinyan's hand and they turned to face the camera so the reporters could get a shot of them together.
He Xinyan cooperated by smiling, but no one knew what was behind that smile.
After the pictures, another seat was moved to the left of Li Yuyan and Li Huiran, and she sat down.
Li Huiran and Li Yuyan didn't even look at her when she sat down, but she wasn't going to ignore them.
"Auntie Li, Yuyan. . . Long time no see."
Li Yuyan pressed her lips together, and Li Huiran smiled very awkwardly but didn't reply.
He Xinyan couldn't help but chuckle as she crossed her legs together.
Bai Jiawei gulped and stood up, "Everyone, I am very happy that my daughter is back. However, we are here today to vote for the CEO. So, let's continue with the voting."
