Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 880

Gu Xian took out his phone and looked it up on the internet, as Zong Yanxi suggested. Immediately, hundreds of definitions jumped out at him from the screen.

Definition of Xian—arousing revulsion or strong indignation

Gu Xian waved his phone in Zong Yanxi’s face. “Is this really what my name means?”

Zong Yanxi glanced through a few definitions. None of them sounded very pleasant.

Gu Xian’s mother had probably named her son that in a fit of rage.

“Do your parents get along well?” Zong Yanxi asked.

“Well?” Gu Xian pursed his lips. “I’ve never even seen my father before. Besides, my mother forbade me from mentioning him in front of her. Do you think they have a good relationship?”

Zong Yanxi knew she had asked too many questions. His name alone told her everything she needed to know about his parents’ rocky relationship.

“Well, then, did you take on your mother’s surname?” she asked.

Gu Xian nodded. “I don’t know my father’s surname.”

“With that little information you have, you won’t be able to find him. Besides, people migrate in and out of cities all the time—he might not be in B City anymore.”

“It doesn’t matter to me. Anyhow, my mother doesn’t know I’m here to search for him. If she finds out, she’s going to throw a fit.” Finding his father wasn’t of utmost importance to Gu Xian. He only wanted to see how his father was like.

If he was destined to never meet his father in this lifetime, then so be it.

When Zong Yanxi recovered somewhat, Gu Xian arranged for her to fly overseas and receive treatment at a foreign hospital.

At Hengkang Group, Ling Wei knocked on the door of Jiang Mohan’s office and entered the room with a document in her hand. As she handed it to Jiang Mohan, she said, “Here’s the information regarding the Rui Mei personnel who will be coming over to discuss the agreement with us.”

Rui Mei was a foreign company. They were hoping to work together with Hengkang Group this time in order to expand their business into the local market.

Through this agreement, Hengkang Group stood to profit from the use of half of Rui Mei’s resources. It was a win-win situation no matter how one looked at it.

Both companies were very eager to work together.

Jiang Mohan scanned the documents and first noticed that the person was from their country. When his gaze landed on her photo, he was immediately riveted by her eyes. He couldn’t help but feel a little stunned—they reminded him too much of a certain person who was already dead.

He took a quick look at her personal information. As expected, none of her details matched that of the person he was thinking about.

Only her eyes held an uncanny resemblance.

He looked at her name. Lin Ruixi.

Even her name had a “Xi” in it, just like she did.

“Should I send Nan Cheng down to the airport to welcome her?” Ling Wei asked.

“What time is her flight arriving?” Jiang Mohan snapped the file shut and asked.

Ling Wei replied, “Three o’clock this afternoon.”

“I’ll go by myself.” Jiang Mohan picked up the phone and gave his secretary a call. “Book the Rui Mei delegate a room in one of the top-class hotels in the area.”

“Yes, President Jiang.”

Jiang Mohan hung up the phone. He picked up another document from his desk and started flipping through it.

Ling Wei protested, “President Jiang, you don’t have to make a trip down to the airport yourself…”

“What about it?” Jiang Mohan looked up at her and asked coldly. “Are you going to decide these things for me, too?”

Ling Wei quickly explained, “No. I’m just afraid that, by humbling yourself like this, you might cause Rui Mei to look down on us. Besides, the delegate is merely the person-in-charge of this cooperation project. Nan Cheng and I could just go by ourselves. It might not be appropriate for you to go.”

Ever since he got a divorce with Zong Yanxi a year ago, Jiang Mohan had channeled all his energy into his work. After the merger of his two companies, business had been doing very well.

Of course, he had a big role to play in that.

“It’s a greater show of our sincerity if I were to go myself, and that’s final. Now run along.”

“But…”

“Now, Ms. Ling.” Jiang Mohan’s voice sounded a little too cold for comfort. Evidently, he didn’t wish to discuss this matter further.
