CHAPTER 600: CHAPTER 589: THE DIVINE DOCTOR FATHER OF THE WEALTHY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

Gu Mingshen is truly disappointed right now, he never expected Li Xinyi to say such things. His grandfather is currently hospitalized, and everyone outside knows that the Gu Family is currently dividing the family property. Li Xinyi, being the person he brought in, spoke of his elder brother favoring private interests. Others would only think it was he who taught her to say so, believing he wanted to slander his brother to get more inheritance.

"You said my brother favored private interests?" Gu Mingmei’s eyes were icy, "Miss Li Xinyi, adults must take responsibility for their words. Do you have any evidence that my brother favored private interests?"

"I..." Li Xinyi took a step back, frightened by Gu Mingmei’s icy gaze, but seeing Ye Chan’s similar cold smile, she felt a surge of courage.

Why does Ye Chan look at her like that? Did she say something wrong? Her mom would definitely not lie to her, so there must be something fishy about Ye Chan quickly climbing to such a high position!

"Did I say something wrong? What capabilities does Ye Chan have? Why are you all looking at me like that?" Li Xinyi said, feeling aggrieved.

"Xinyi, what exactly makes you think I have no capabilities? You should know that I was an outstanding graduate of Qingbei University. If I lacked capabilities, would your father let me be the chief operating officer of your company?" Ye Chan said exasperatedly.

"That’s because you married my brother." Li Xinyi said subconsciously.

"But the improvement in your company’s performance can’t be fake, right?"

"Is that solely your accomplishment?"

"So you think me finding a better job after leaving your family is because of an inside deal? Xinyi, I know you’re naive, but please use your brain a bit. How could an ordinary person like myself receive special treatment from the CEO?"

"Isn’t it her?" Li Xinyi pointed at Gu Mingmei.

Ye Chan chuckled lightly, "Before today, I did not even know she was my boss’s sister. Even if I had known before, why would you think a sister who doesn’t manage the company would influence her brother to make such an important decision? Do you understand how vital my position is to Gu Pharmaceutical? If you don’t, you could ask Mr. Gu Mingshen here to explain it to you."

"I..."

"Enough!" Li Xinyi was about to retort when Gu Mingshen sternly shut her down.

"Brother Ming Shen." Li Xinyi looked at the furious Gu Mingshen with shock, suddenly feeling anxious.

"Xinyi, let me tell you one last time, my brother has always separated personal and official affairs and only values capabilities, not relationships. You should not mention such things in the future. It seems like you are no longer in the mood for dinner tonight, I’ll take you home now." Gu Mingshen said with an expressionless face, the affection in his eyes completely faded.

He liked Li Xinyi’s naivety and her simple kindness, but when that naivety turned into obstinacy, he suddenly found it very tiring. Why does she always persist in blaming others? It’s such a simple and easily understandable truth, yet she stubbornly thinks it’s always the other’s fault.

Ye Chan’s divorce from your elder brother did indeed affect your family, but does trouble arise only from one hand? Why not look for reasons within yourself?

Alright, he could understand that people tend to side with their own family, but why can’t you restrain yourself in public? Not everyone can tolerate your naivety and ignorance.

Gu Mingshen is now relieved that his relationship with Li Xinyi wasn’t deeply set and had not been clearly defined; there was still time to withdraw. Although his branch of the family didn’t inherit as much property as his elder brother’s side, the assets were not few, which meant the people he would interact with in the future were also not simple. He did not want to be constantly cleaning up after her naivety.

"Brother Ming Shen..." Li Xinyi looked at Gu Mingshen blankly, panicked and unsure of what to do.

"Go back." Gu Mingshen said coolly, looking at Li Xinyi.

Then he turned back to Ye Chan and said, "I’m sorry, Miss Ye, for disturbing your dinner today."

Gu Mingshen had been well-mannered right from the start, so Ye Chan, bearing no blame on her face, smiled and nodded: "It’s alright, and it’s not your fault at all."

"Second brother, does Grandpa know that you are dating someone? Have you shown her to Second Uncle and Second Aunt?" Gu Mingmei suddenly asked.

"Mingmei, you’re joking, second brother is still single, where does dating come into it?" Gu Mingshen said lightly, while Li Xinyi’s face instantly paled.

Watching the two leave, Gu Mingmei sneered: "This person must be a fool! It’s been such a long time since the divorce, her elder brother hasn’t even the face to see you, and she still acts so self-righteous."

"Don’t be mad, she’s just spoiled by her family. Getting angry with her will only make you more upset," Ye Chan sighed, "I used to like her quite a bit, never thought she’d be so biased deep down."

"True, what’s that saying again? Never argue with a fool, for they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. This Li Xinyi is not innocent, she’s overly foolish. She must be regretting it now, originally came out for a pleasant dinner with my second brother, but it turned out like this. I don’t think my second brother will ever accept her back." Gu Mingmei said, feeling sorry.

Li Xinyi sat anxiously in Gu Mingshen’s car, indeed regretful, wondering how things turned out this way?

She clearly felt it, she clearly sensed that Brother Ming Shen liked her, why did he deny it?

Was it because she slandered his elder brother? But she didn’t do it on purpose, it was just a subconscious doubt. Besides, Ye Chan and Gu Mingmei are so close, who knows if there was something fishy?

If there’s nothing fishy, then let it be. She would apologize properly, but why does Brother Ming Shen have to be so cold to her?

Li Xinyi found that ever since Ye Chan and her big brother got divorced, whenever she encountered her, things always went awry, including last time, just because she mentioned Ye Chan, Brother Ming Shen had ignored her for days.

Hmph, what does this mean? Who is more important, her or Ye Chan, the outsider?

Thinking this, Li Xinyi also grew angry, Brother Ming Shen took her out, why didn’t he protect her?

And that Gu Mingmei too, if she ever marries Brother Ming Shen, she would be Gu Mingmei’s sister-in-law, why would she still side with outsiders to bully her own family?

"We’re here, Xinyi, get out of the car," Gu Mingshen said while driving, noticing Li Xinyi’s expression but to his surprise, instead of an apology, she only became angrier.

What right did she have to be angry? Doesn’t she realize how much damage her words could cause?

Grandfather is still lying in the hospital bed, and here his grandson from the second house is so eager for inheritance, isn’t he just wishing for his grandfather’s death?

Li Xinyi remained seated, seeing that Gu Mingshen wasn’t soothing her, her eyes slowly reddened, and finally, she opened the car door and quickly ran back home.
