Chapter 94 The Qin Family
"Why can't I go in? My daughter is inside!"
He Xinyan finished the cheesecake on her plate before standing up. Gu Yechen helped her grab her purse before they walked over to the entrance together.
Bai Jiawei's face was red with anger as he glared at the worker, "Do you know who I am?"
"Sorry, sir. You cannot enter."
He Xinyan suppressed a smile at this sight as she wrapped her hand around Gu Yechen's arm, who smiled at her intimate action.
Bai Jiawei looked over at the sound of He Xinyan's heels clicking against the ground. His eyes brightened at the sight of the two of them, "See! That is my daughter!"
The worker looked over and bowed down, "Hello, President Gu."
Gu Yechen looked over at Bai Jiawei with a stern expression, "Didn't Yanyan say we would be going down in a few minutes?"
Bai Jiawei smiled awkwardly, "I. . . I wanted to come and get you."
"There is no need for that." Gu Yechen walked over to the worker and looked down at his nametag.
Bai Jiawei took this opportunity to get back at the worker, "Who is this worker? He is so disrespectful! Am I still not allowed to go in now?!"
The worker was calm as he turned towards Bai Jiawei and bowed down, "I apologize. However, you are still not allowed to enter without President Gu's permission."
"I -" Bai Jiawei turned to look at Gu Yechen, who grinned.
"Your name is Fang Zhanqi?"
"Yes sir."
Gu Yechen smiled before clicking the elevator button to go down, "You are doing your job well. Go to your manager tomorrow for a pay raise."
Fang Zhanqi's mouth fell open in shock before he quickly bowed down several times, "Thank you, sir! Thank you!"
The elevator door opened and Gu Yechen and He Xinyan walked in, but Bai Jiawei was rooted in place.
"Are you not going to come in?" He Xinyan asked with an innocent smile.
Bai Jiawei gulped before walking into the elevator, his face green from embarrassment and anger.
---
A few minutes before the clock struck 6, guests began entering the lobby.
He Xinyan was forced to stand at the door with the rest of her "family" to welcome the guests. Bai Jiawei also invited Gu Yechen to stand next to them, because he was a "part of the family".
However, it was clear that he just wanted to gain face from having Gu Yechen next to them.
The Qin couple and their daughter walked over with smiles on their faces, "President Bai!"
Bai Jiawei turned around and smiled at the sight of the Qin family. However, no one knew how genuine the smile truly was.
"President Qin! Thank you for coming over today! Welcome, welcome."
"Happy birthday!" The chairman of the Qin Corporation, Qin Shi, said. "You are 60 now, right? Ah, we are both getting old now. I will also be turning 60 in a few years!"
Bai Jiawei's smile stiffened slightly as he heard the hidden meaning behind those words. Qin Shi just wanted to tell him that he was old now.
However, in front of all the guests, Bai Jiawei could only laugh it off, "You're right! We are all getting old!"
The daughter of the Qin family, Qin Ruolin walked over.
"Uncle Bai, happy birthday!" She then turned to Li Yuyan, "Yuyan, long time no see! I'm so sorry I missed your wedding."
Qin Ruolin glanced at Su Zhiming and smiled shyly, "You must be Yuyan's husband. Nice to meet you. I am Qin Ruolin."
She held her hand out and Su Zhiming shook it politely, his eyes looking at Qin Ruolin up and down.
Qin Ruolin wore a light yellow satin dress today, and it looked very elegant and innocent. Her face was also the cute and innocent type, and it was very useful in arousing the desire in men.
Li Yuyan clenched her fists together, but she still had to maintain a friendly smile, "Ruolin, you also have to hurry up. You aren't even dating anyone yet, right?"
Qin Ruolin nodded her head with a blush, "Yes. . . There are a lot of people chasing me right now, and I don't want to hurt any of them."
Li Yuyan's hands shook with anger and annoyance at Qin Ruolin's pure and cute expression, and she wanted to slap her.
"Ruolin, come back," Qin Ruolin's mom called her.
She obediently walked back and looked around for He Xinyan, who was standing behind Bai Jiawei. Qin Ruolin never really cared about Li Yuyan, who she thought was too lowly to even be compared to her.
However, she never really liked the real daughter of the He family, He Xinyan. Qin Ruolin was the same age as Li Yuyan, so she didn't hang out much with He Xinyan. However, she had seen her a few times.
As the princess of the Qin family, Qin Ruolin didn't like people who were prettier than her, as she enjoyed the spotlight of being the prettiest among the "rich-family-daughter-group".
However, anyone with eyes could clearly see that He Xinyan was much prettier than Qin Ruolin.
She spotted He Xinyan, who was standing behind Bai Jiawei, and Qin Ruolin's eyes narrowed. Her gaze shifted slightly and saw the man standing next to He Xinyan.
Her dad also noticed, "Yanyan, long time no see!"
He Xinyan smiled, "Hello, Uncle Qin."
"Oh, who is that man standing next to you? Is that your boyfriend?"
Bai Jiawei stood up a little straighter as he turned around to look at He Xinyan and Gu Yechen, "That is Gu Yechen, Yanyan's boyfriend!"
"Gu Yechen?" Qin Shi repeated, "Are you. . . maybe. . ."
"Yes!" Bai Jiawei interrupted, unable to wait even a second more, "He is the master of the Gu family, the current CEO of the Gu Corporation."
Qin Shi took a step back from shock, but he quickly recovered, "Wow! President Bai, your daughter is very competent!"
Bai Jiawei laughed happily.
Competent? He Xinyan raised one eyebrow. What did that mean? Competent in what? She held onto Gu Yechen's hand, and gently squeezed it.
Gu Yechen looked down at her and she whispered, "I shouldn't have brought you over today."
