5 Illegitimate Child

5 Illegitimate Child

'Yang Yaqi rolled her eyes

"Don't even think about him. That person is Gu Yechen

the CEO of the prestigious Gu Corporation. He doesn't even take a glance at A-list celebrities

so do you think he will care about you?"'

'He Xinyan crossed her arms together

"A-list celebrities aren't as pretty as me."'

'". . ."'

'In the end

Yang Yaqi still managed to drag He Xinyan over to CEO Liu. Once CEO Liu's eyes landed on He Xinyan

they never left her and sparkled creepily.'

'He kept on trying to touch He Xinyan's hands

but she managed to escape his attacks every time.'

'"I'm going to go eat some food

" He Xinyan said before walking away.'

'Yang Yaqi stared at He Xinyan's back for a long time before also finding an excuse to leave CEO Liu. In a corner

she pulled out her phone and texted Li Yuyan.'

''Yuyan

are you sure we should do this? Wouldn't He Xinyan get mad when she figures out?''

'A second later

Li Yuyan replied

'Why are you scared of her? I am also the daughter of the He family

so listen to me! Unless you don't want to stay in the industry anymore.''

'Yang Yaqi's face fell after reading the message. Li Yuyan was only an illegitimate child

but she always bossed people around using the He family's title!'

'The He Corporation was founded by He Xinyan's maternal grandfather

and it was supposed to go to whoever He Xinyan's mother

He Yuxin

chose to marry.'

'He Yuxin's dad wanted her to marry the son of a rich family

but He Yuxin chose to marry Bai Jiawei

a normal man from a normal family.'

'Because of this relationship

He Yuxin's dad got so angry he passed away from a heart attack. After her father died

He Yuxin still insisted on marrying Bai Jiawei

who then took over the company alongside He Yuxin.'

'Yuxin also gave half of the stocks she inherited from her dad to Bai Jiawei so he wouldn't be oppressed in the company. The couple was deeply in love for several years

and the He Corporation also grew under Bai Jiawei and He Yuxin's leadership.'

'However

only a few years after Xinyan was born

He Yuxin fell sick and got hospitalized. A few days later

she died right before He Xinyan's 5th birthday.'

'A month after her funeral

Bai Jiawei brought Li Huiran and her daughter

Li Yuyan into the He mansion. As a kid

He Xinyan only treated them as guests in the house.'

'However

they stayed way too long to be only guests. Everyone figured that Bai Jiawei must have cheated on He Yuxin before she died.'

'Li Yuyan was two years older than He Xinyan

but she also had blood relation to Bai Jiawei. For this reason

He Xinyan's relation with her dad hasn't been as good after she figured this out.'

'However

everything had passed already

and He Xinyan's dad had treated her mom very well all the way until her death. Nothing could change any more.'

'Yang Yaqi clenched her phone tightly in her hand. If it weren't for the fact that Li Yuyan had given her money

she would never work for a person like her!'

'A mere illegitimate child trying to act like a real princess!'

'Yang Yaqi walked out of the dark corner and picked up a glass of wine. She located He Xinyan

who was busy eating a slice of cake right now.'

'From the corner of her eye

He Xinyan could see that Yang Yaqi was looking at her. The corners of her lips curled up a bit before she took the last bite of the cake.'

'As she was eating

He Xinyan couldn't take her eyes off of the CEO of the Gu Corporation; the handsome person she had suggested to Yang Yaqi.'

'For some reason

he looked very familiar

but He Xinyan couldn't figure out from where. Maybe she had seen him somewhere on the news from her past life. . .'

'He Xinyan gave the plate to a waiter and turned to look at Yang Yaqi

who was walking towards her with a glass of wine in her hands.'

'Well

this seemed familiar. . .'

'When Yang Yaqi was a few feet away

she called out to her

"Xinyan!"'

'Then

pretending to trip over herself

Yang Yaqi let out a slight shriek and tilted the glass forward. With a straight face

Xinyan lifted her hand up

and right before the wine would spill out

she used one finger to push it away from her.'

'"Ah!" Yang Yaqi dropped the glass onto the floor as the red liquid stained her yellow dress.'

'"Oops

sorry!" He Xinyan said with a smile. The sound of glass shattering onto the floor caused everyone inside the ballroom to look their way.'

'"He Xinyan!"'

'"Here!" He Xinyan responded as if Yang Yaqi was taking attendance.'

'"You did that on purpose right?" Yang Yaqi was fuming with anger

but she had to hold it in because everyone was looking.'

'"Sister Yang

you were the one that almost spilled the wine on me. What I did was an act of self-defense." He Xinyan purposely spoke loudly so the people around her could hear.'

'"You -" Yang Yaqi took a deep breath and lowered her voice

"As my artist

you have to listen to me. Or else I will kick you out of the company and accuse you of breaching the contract."'

'". . . Go ahead!"'
