Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 521 - Chapter 521 Chapter 519 Father and Daughter Reunited

Chapter 521: Chapter 519: Father and Daughter Reunited Chapter 521: Chapter 519: Father and Daughter Reunited As soon as the car entered the city, Ming Yao asked Gu Siting to stop the car.

Gu Siting didn’t say anything and pulled over to the side of the road.

After saying thank you, Ming Yao got out of the car.

As soon as she steadied herself, Gu Siting’s car sped away.

Ming Yao patted the water splashed on her clothes, extended her hand, and hailed a taxi.

What Ming Yao didn’t notice was Shi Ying in a nearby car, witnessing this scene.

Shi Ying recognized Gu Siting’s car, and seeing Ming Yao getting out of it, she was quite astonished.

She thought her eyes were deceiving her for a moment.

Ming Yao is back?

Is there some involvement between her and Gu Siting again?

Shi Ying stared blankly at Ming Yao. In four years, she seemed not to have changed much, no, there were definitely some changes, she had become even more womanly, her features more refined, tall, fair, radiant–a look that could capture people’s attention at a glance.

Ming Yao got into a taxi and quickly vanished from Shi Ying’s view.

“Drive.”

The driver promptly sped up and drove forward.

On her way back to the seaside villa, Shi Ying received a call from Director Wu.

Learning that Director Wu refused to sell his shares to her, she was so angry she almost threw her phone to the ground.

Yanxi returned to the seaside villa in the evening. He changed his shoes and headed towards the living room.

Shi Ying was sitting on the sofa, slightly tilting her head back, her expression somber as she puffed on a cigarette.

Yanxi sat beside her, “Sister Shi Ying, what’s wrong?”

Shi Ying flicked the ash from the tip of her cigarette, looking at the man beside her.

Yanxi no longer had the handsome appearance from four years ago, his figure gaunt, his once handsome cheeks hollowed, eyes shadowed by heavy dark circles, looking utterly lifeless.

Shi Ying stubbed out the cigarette and buried her face into Yanxi’s chest.

“Director Wu won’t sell his shares to us.”

Yanxi froze, “What happened?”

“He sold his shares to Ming Yao.”

Yanxi’s expression darkened, “Ming Yao is back?”

Shi Ying nodded, a look of grievance on her face, “Yanxi, as soon as Ming Yao returned, she stayed close to Fourth Brother. Earlier, I even saw Ming Yao getting out of Fourth Brother’s car.”

Yanxi’s peach blossom eyes revealed a trace of sinister coldness, “Fourth Brother is really being foolish. If Dai Na finds out, won’t she go and make a scene with him?”

“Yanxi, because of my relationship with you, you’ve also fallen out with Fourth Brother. Have you ever regretted it?”

Yanxi looked at the woman in his arms. The scent of her after smoking was intoxicating and addictive to him.

He stroked her hair, “No regrets.”

Sister Ying was his obsession, his lifesaver.

For her, he would give up everything.

Yanxi yawned, feeling the urge to smoke again.

“Sister Ying, I’ve run out of cigarettes. Give me some more, will you?”

Over the years, his addiction had grown stronger, needing to smoke several times a day.

Shi Ying took out a cigarette from the pack, and Yanxi hurriedly placed it between his thin lips.

Looking at his listless appearance, Shi Ying showed a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Yanxi used to be fairly handsome, but compared to Gu Siting now, he was far from his level.

In these years, Shi Ying had reaped quite a few benefits from Yanxi.

The seaside villa had been transferred to her name, he had established Xiyin Company for her, and the things she got from him must be worth over a hundred billion by now, right?

If he could give her the shares of the Yan Corporation as well, she would become the richest woman in the future!

But that goal still seemed far away.

After all, in the Yan Family, aside from Yanxi, Mr. Yan and Mother Yan didn’t like her at all.

The year Xia Yiwan had her accident was also the year Old Lady Yan passed away.

The night Old Lady Yan died, Yanxi was with Shi Ying. That night, Shi Ying ran a high fever and insisted that Yanxi stay with her, which meant he missed his last chance to see Old Lady Yan.

Yanxi felt quite regretful and ashamed about this matter. To make amends, he treated Mr. Yan and Mother Yan even better than before.

The daughter-in-law Mr. Yan and Mother Yan had set their hearts on was only Xia Yiwan.

They tried to drive a wedge between Yanxi and her, attempting to make Yanxi keep his distance from her.

But how could they know that it wasn’t she who couldn’t leave Yanxi, but Yanxi who couldn’t leave her?

Shi Ying hadn’t originally intended to acquire the Only Love Cosmetics Company that Xia Yiwan had established.

But one time, when she was out for dinner, she accidentally encountered Mr. Yan, Mother Yan, and some relatives dining in a private room.

Mother Yan mentioned Xia Yiwan, saying that Yiwan was capable on her own, having created her own company, unlike some people who clung to her son like leeches.

Shi Ying understood clearly that the “leeches” Mother Yan was referring to were none other than herself.

If Xia Yiwan’s failing company seemed so good in Mother Yan’s eyes, then she would destroy it!

The plan had progressed to the final step; with Director Wu’s shares, she would be able to take control of the Ai Wei Cosmetics Company.

But Ming Yao had returned.

She had bought up Director Wu’s shares!

How could Shi Ying swallow this insult?

“Yanxi, I just want the Ai Wei Cosmetics Company, think of a way for me!”

Yanxi took several puffs of his cigarette in succession, easing the ant-bite feeling of his nicotine cravings flaring up.

Seeing the mist forming in Shi Ying’s eyes, Yanxi frowned, “If you like a cosmetics company, I’ll buy one for you later.”

“But I want the Ai Wei Cosmetics Company.”

“Didn’t you say that Fourth Brother and Ming Yao have met? Now Fourth Brother is the President, and with him protecting Ming Yao, I am willing but powerless!”

A grim light flashed in Shi Ying’s eyes.

Gu Siting was protecting Ming Yao, but did Dai Na know this?

No one could endure their husband being kind to another woman, especially a princess who stood above others!

…

Gu Family Old Mansion.

Both Old Madam Gu and Song Yulan were surprised to see Gu Siting suddenly appear.

Due to his busy public duties, it had been a while since Gu Siting had last visited.

In the past, his grandmother and mother were always excited to see him return.

But now, seeing him didn’t seem to elicit much of a reaction.

He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but Song Yulan’s gaze seemed to carry a hint of resentment.

Gu Siting slightly knitted his brows, wondering if they were upset because he hadn’t come to see them for too long?

Gu Siting handed the gifts he brought to the two women, “Grandma, Mom.”

Old Madam Gu and Song Yulan nodded their heads, their response lukewarm.

Gu Siting grew increasingly puzzled.

“I’ve been quite busy recently and haven’t been able to visit. Are you upset with me?”

Song Yulan hurriedly waved her hands, “You go about your business; your grandmother and I are fine.”

Gu Siting, “…”

Old Madam Gu, “Now that you’re back, why not stay for dinner before you leave?”

Gu Siting, “…”

Actually, he had planned to stay overnight at the Gu Residence!

“I’m going to change my clothes.”

Gu Siting pressed a long finger against his brow and strode with long legs towards the upstairs.

Gu Siting unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt as he entered the room, then he suddenly sensed something amiss and looked towards the bed.

There appeared to be a small figure sleeping on the bed.
