I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: You Two Cannot Get Married

The drive from A City to Jiang City takes about two and a half hours.

Just upon arriving at Ruohu Mansion, Yuan Xi saw Xiao Shihuo running out from the house.

Xiao Shihuo hugged Yuan Xi’s leg, crying, “Wuwuwu, sister, I’m so tired. Brother signed me up for so many, many training classes, wuwuwu, going to classes every day, I’m so tired…”

Yuan Xi hugged Xiao Shihuo, and as she stroked his head, she said, “Just choose two or three you like, and you don’t have to attend the rest.”

Xiao Shihuo replied, “Then I’ll choose piano, horseback riding, and LEGO.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Shihuo wiped his tears and said, “Sister, I missed you so much when you were away! Did you miss me?”

“I missed Huohuo too.”

Huo Shiyuan frowned nearby, clearly noticing that Xiao Shihuo had forgotten who his real brother was.

Upon returning to Jiang City, Yuan Xi was busy again, primarily with the celebration party for Mi Chen’s IPO happening in Jiang City.

Back then, when Gu Hanchen founded the gaming company Mi Chen, everyone said he was not serious about his work. Now that it had gone public, the market value was nearly two hundred billion, and Gu Hanchen had to show off a bit in Jiang City.

Friday.

Gu Hanchen brought Little Guying to Yuan Xi and said, “Take her with you after work today to play with Xiao Huo, so that she stops nagging about wanting to see him.”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly at Little Guying and said, “She won’t have much time to play after I get off work.”

Gu Hanchen replied, “No problem, you just get off work at five today, and I will pick her up in the evening.”

After work, Yuan Xi took Little Guying back to the mansion.

When Xiao Shihuo saw Little Guying, he was obviously very excited, “Little Yingying!”

“Little Huohuo, your house is so pretty!”

Xiao Shihuo said, “I’ll show you my toys.”

The two kids immediately started playing together, and even during dinner, they huddled together whispering. They seemed to eat more when they were together too.

The lakeside was cooler in the evening, dispelling the heat of the summer day.

After dinner, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan took a walk alongside Ruohu Lake, accompanied by Xiao Shihuo, who insisted on joining.

Naturally, since Xiao Shihuo was coming along, they had to bring Little Guying.

Yuan Xi simply let the bodyguard go to the nearby supermarket to buy two small fishing nets for the kids to play with.

When she found out that Huo Shiyuan was indeed Brother Zhuangzhuang, Yuan Xi’s mood shifted greatly, “Do you remember over there? We used to catch snails together as kids.”

Huo Shiyuan nodded, “I remember.”

“Catching snails?” Xiao Shihuo’s eyes lit up, “I want to do it too!”

“I want to do it too,” said Little Guying.

Xiao Shihuo, holding Little Guying’s hand, went down the steps to the lakeside where there were plenty of dense small snails, easy to pick.

Xiao Shihuo asked, “Can we eat these snails?”

Yuan Xi replied with a gentle smile, “Yes.”

Xiao Shihuo said, “Then I want to pick a lot, a lot to eat together with Yingying.”

Yuan Xi, watching from the shore as Xiao Shihuo and Little Guying innocently collected snails, was reminded of her own childhood.

Back then, catching snails under the summer sunset, she never thought she would really marry Big Brother.

As a child, the neighbor’s parents liked to tease her, saying she would grow up to marry Brother Zhuangzhuang. Her parents were actually worried when she was little, wondering what they would do if she truly grew up to marry Brother Zhuangzhuang?

Ultimately Brother Zhuangzhuang settled in A City, a two-hour drive from Jiang City, which could be considered a distant marriage.

Regarding marrying Brother Zhuangzhuang, in kindergarten, she openly admitted she wanted to marry Brother Zhuangzhuang.

In grades one and two, she was certain, but by grades three and four, she became more aware and shy and began to object.

In grades five and six, she would get angry when adults joked about it again, not because she was angry about marrying Brother Zhuangzhuang, but because at that time, she felt studying was more important, and marriage wasn’t something she should worry about.

After middle school, no one mentioned it again because no one thought Brother Zhuangzhuang would return. As they grew older, no neighbors or relatives joked about it anymore.

Huo Shiyuan caught Yuan Xi’s gaze, and letting down her long hair, he used it to shield a kiss on her red lips.

Because of the children, he dared only that one kiss.

However, this kiss was caught by someone right as a car horn sounded on the nearby asphalt road.

The car window rolled down slowly, and Huo Shiyuan looked rather calmly at Xiao Yun inside, “You decided to come back to the country?”

Xiao Yun said, “You’re right, wasting time like this isn’t a solution. I’ve come back to the country this time to discuss divorce with Gu Qingyi.”

“Oh no! Brother, Yingying has fallen into the water!”

Little Huohuo shouted anxiously.

Yuan Xi and Shiyuan quickly looked over, but Little Yingying was already swimming in the lake.

“Huohuo, I can swim you know!”

Little Huohuo also dove headlong into the lake and swam around happily.

Xiao Yun asked Shiyuan, “I’d like to stay at your place for a while, would that be okay?”

Shiyuan replied coldly, “It’s not convenient.”

Yuan Xi said, “It’s convenient.”

Xiao Yun then looked only at Yuan Xi and said, “Thank you, Little Xi. I’ll be staying at your place for a while then.”

Shiyuan’s voice was chilling, “Little Xi isn’t someone you should be calling like that.”

Xiao Yun chuckled lightly and changed his address, “Thank you, Sister-in-law. I’ll be troubling you then.”

Yuan Xi smiled slightly, “It’s no trouble.”

Yuan Xi went over to feel the water temperature and then called out to the two children in the lake, “The water is cold, come out now. If you want to play in the water, it has to be around four or five tomorrow morning, it’s too cold right now.”

After Little Yinying climbed ashore, Xiao Yun took out a clean suit from the car and wrapped it around Little Yingying.

Nearby, Little Huohuo was shivering from the cold.

Little Yingying, looking up at Xiao Yun, said, “Uncle, I recognize you, we met a few days ago.”

Xiao Yun said, “You have a good memory.”

Little Yingying, held in Xiao Yun’s arms, was clearly very happy.

Fortunately, the mansion wasn’t far, and as soon as they got back, Yuan Xi had the nanny bathe the two little drenched children.

Little Yingying didn’t have a change of clothes, so she had to wear Little Huohuo’s clothes, which surprisingly fit her quite well.

Little Huohuo holding Little Yingying’s hand said, “Yingying, would you sleep with me tonight?”

Little Yingying waved her hand, “No, I have to sleep with my mom.”

Little Huohuo said, “My dad said that kids shouldn’t sleep with their moms, so you shouldn’t sleep with your mom either, sleep with me instead.”

Little Yingying said, “Boys and girls can only sleep together if they’re married, we’re not married so we can’t sleep together.”

Little Huohuo tilted his head and said, “Then why don’t we just get married?”

Shiyuan said, “You two can’t get married.”

After all, it’s highly likely that Huohuo could be Gu Ying’s younger cousin.

…

Jiang night.

When Gu Hanchen saw Chu Lin, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, looking radiant, he asked, “Why are you even happier than me recently, grinning all over your face? Are you in love?”

Chu Lin said, “No, but there’s a girl I like.”

Gu Hanchen exclaimed, “Damn! Who? Do I know her?”

Chu Lin didn’t respond to Gu Hanchen, but overheard some gossip nearby.

“Have you heard? The Bo Family is going to have a marriage alliance with Yu Xiao.”

“What? Yu Xiao? Oh my god! Isn’t Yu Xiao Chu Yan’s best friend? And Chu Yan’s bridesmaid, right? Bo Fan and Chu Yan just divorced not long ago, and now Yu Xiao is snatching her friend’s man?”

“I haven’t seen Chu Yan around recently, especially since she divorced Bo Fan. It seems like she’s vanished from Jiang City.”

“From a high and mighty heiress to rock bottom after the divorce, she’s become the butt of everyone’s jokes. How could she show her face?”

Chu Lin frowned deeply. Unlike his parents who knew that Chu Yan was not their biological child, for Chu Lin, Yanyan had always been the sister he needed to protect since they were young.

Even if Chu Yan made mistakes, Chu Lin didn’t want her to live a difficult life.

Chu Lin tried to call Chu Yan.

Chu Yan didn’t answer.

In a corner of Jiang night, Chu Yan, wearing a mask, listened to the mockery of those people. It wouldn’t be long before she made them regret their words.

She was really looking forward to Mi Chen’s celebration event, eager to see Yuan Xi and these Jiang City socialites, who mocked her behind her back, turn surprised and scared when they find out she’s the true heiress of the Fu Family…
