I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Mommy Chen Intentionally Pulls My Hair

Yuan Xi maintained a faint smile and said, “Teacher Zhou, Miss Qian is still single, so please don’t talk nonsense. You should focus on teaching Little Huohuo how to play the piano.”

Zhou Mengfei realized she had misspoken and responded with an embarrassed smile, “Okay.”

Zhou Mengfei then continued to properly teach Xiao Shihuo the piano.

Yuan Xi watched from the side as Huo Shiyuan approached her and asked, “Do you also want to play the piano?”

Yuan Xi chuckled, “I’m tone-deaf; I can’t play the piano at all. Listening to Little Huo play is like prenatal education for me. I hope my babies won’t inherit my tone-deafness.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “How is listening to Xiao Shihuo play considered prenatal education? Let me take you somewhere.”

Huo Shiyuan took Yuan Xi’s hand and drove her to a place inside Huxi Village.

As the car stopped, Yuan Xi saw a large house that had seen many years, where Huo Shiyuan had lived with his grandmother during his childhood.

That house, that yard carried too many of their childhood memories. Under the long withered grapevine, they used to play on their favorite swaying hammock.

Inside the house, it was surprisingly tidy.

Huo Shiyuan explained Yuan Xi’s curious look, “Someone comes to clean here every month.”

Huo Shiyuan led Yuan Xi by the hand into the sunlit piano room, turned on the air conditioning, which was an old unit that cooled slowly.

Huo Shiyuan opened the piano and pressed the keys, fluidly playing “Wedding in the Dream.”

Today, Huo Shiyuan wore a white T-shirt and casual trousers, but sitting at the piano, he still looked noble, dignified, and elegant.

His hands were large, and his rendition of “Dream Wedding” was smoother and more moving than the one played by Little Guying.

His well-defined large hands danced across the black and white keys as sunlight streamed through the window onto him…

It was then Yuan Xi understood what Gu Hanchen meant by playing the piano to charm girls.

At this moment, Huo Shiyuan looked more handsome than ever.

When the music slowly stopped, Huo Shiyuan looked up at Yuan Xi, “Come here, I’ll teach you how to play.”

Yuan Xi sat beside Huo Shiyuan, “Play ‘Dream Wedding’? Isn’t that too difficult?”

Huo Shiyuan chuckled, “I’ll teach you ‘Little Xingxing’; the sheet music is very simple.”

Huo Shiyuan guided Yuan Xi’s hands across the piano keys, playing the notes.

Yuan Xi laughed, “I never thought I’d play piano one day. As a child, how did I not know you had a piano room here?”

Huo Shiyuan answered, “As a child, I hated practicing the piano. It was forced, and the memories in this piano room aren’t pleasant. I didn’t want to play here with you guys.”

“But now, I think being forced to practice piano as a child had some benefits.”

Yuan Xi hummed in response, “?”

Huo Shiyuan whispered in Yuan Xi’s ear, “The first time I saw nothing but love for me in your eyes.”

Before Yuan Xi could respond, Huo Shiyuan had lifted and seated her on the piano, eliciting sounds from the keys.

Yuan Xi said, “Won’t the piano be damaged by me?”

Although Yuan Xi had never learned the piano, she knew these grand pianos were definitely not cheap, and this piano was also a Steinway.

Yet, Huo Shiyuan just leaned down and kissed Yuan Xi, whispering at her ear, “I’ve fantasized countless times about being here with you…”

Yuan Xi: “Huo Shiyuan, how can you be so shameless?”

No wonder he had brought her here to play the piano for her instead of playing in the mansion’s piano room.

Yuan Xi: “Don’t dirty the piano…”

Huo Shiyuan chuckled and lifted Yuan Xi horizontally, heading to a room upstairs. The often-cleaned and arranged room wasn’t dirty.

The room’s decor was still from over a decade ago; the familiar surroundings almost took her back to worry-free childhood summers where she and Huo Shiyuan sat at the window-side desk doing summer homework.

She was a grade below Huo Shiyuan, and he always helped her with questions she couldn’t solve.

Yet, back then, Yuan Xi didn’t know that one day she would be entwined with Huo Shiyuan over this very desk.

…

Inside Ruohu Mansion.

Zhou Mengfei arrived at the small western-style building nearby.

Upon reaching her room, Zhou Mengfei inquired about the positions held by the occupants of the adjacent rooms within Ruohu Mansion, furrowing her brow slightly.

Only then did Zhou Mengfei learn that this small western-style house was inhabited by cooks, nannies, bodyguards, and drivers.

As a young master’s piano tutor, she was also arranged by Yuan Xi to live here with those servants.

When she was at the Huo family’s old mansion, she was at least treated with respect and politeness.

After all, she was a graduate student from a prestigious school, Yuan Xi really seemed to look down on her!

With a slight frown, Zhou Mengfei unpacked her luggage and organized everything, then opened the laptop she brought with her.

She updated her Weibo and Xiaohongshu.

Zhou Mengfei was a somewhat famous piano influencer, sharing some of her personal experiences and boasting quite a number of fans.

Zhou Mengfei eloquently wrote a post, “Day1 as the young master’s piano home tutor, his shallow-eyed sister-in-law put me in the servants’ quarters.”

Through the window, Zhou Mengfei snapped a photo of the entire Ruohu Mansion estate.

Her followers expressed their amazement below: “That’s too luxurious!”

“I’m going, a vast grassland. Feifei’s tutee must be really wealthy.”

“The young master’s sister-in-law must be jealous of Feifei being young, beautiful, and good at playing the piano, fearing that the older young master would take a liking to you, deliberately intimidating you.”

“The young master’s sister-in-law is what we call a mean matriarch; making you live in a servant’s room is bullying our Feifei too much. Feifei, just focus on teaching the young master and ignore his sister-in-law!”

“Support Feifei in winning over the elder young master to make the sister-in-law regret looking down on people!”

“What did I just see? Two cows? Which young master keeps cows?”

…

When Yuan Xi woke up, she looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling, noticing Huo Shiyuan playing games on the computer beside her.

It was just like when she was a child, waking up from a nap here while Brother Zhuangzhuang played games on the computer.

“You’re playing Mi Chen’s game too? This game is Mi Yi’s favorite.”

Upon seeing Yuan Xi awake, Huo Shiyuan asked softly, “Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?”

Yuan Xi glanced at the time, one o’clock in the afternoon; she indeed was hungry: “Sweet and sour pork ribs.”

Huo Shiyuan chuckled, “Let’s go back to the mansion.”

They just drove back to the mansion.

From a distance, Yuan Xi saw two cows grazing on the lawn…

Little Huohuo and Little Guying were playing nearby the cows.

Huo Shiyuan and Yuan Xi walked over, watching Gu Hanchen cut grass and hand it to Little Huohuo to feed the cows.

“What’s with these two cows?” asked Huo Shiyuan.

Gu Hanchen replied, “Seeing such a fine patch of grass at your place, it would be a waste not to have cows, so I brought two over for you to keep for fun.”

Yuan Xi declined, “No need, if you like cows, keep them at your company instead, perfectly symbolizing that our Michen’s stock is always bullish.”

Gu Hanchen snapped his fingers, “Why didn’t I think of that? Let’s keep these two cows at the company. There’s quite a lot of grass in front of Michen Building too.”

Yuan Xi: “…”

“Mommy! Mummy!”

Little Guying spotted Gu Nuan from afar and ran over to throw herself into Gu Nuan’s arms.

Gu Nuan, holding Little Guying’s hand, came up to Yuan Xi, “Thank you for taking care of Little Guying these past few days.”

Guying hugged Gu Nuan, “I missed you so much, Mommy!”

Gu Nuan chuckled, “Sorry, this was a last-minute contract signing. Next time, if it isn’t urgent, I’ll take you with me. Did everything go okay these days? Did anyone bully you?”

Little Yingying looked at Gu Nuan, “Yes! Mommy Chen deliberately pulled my hair! She pulled out four strands of my hair from the front, back, and sides!”

Nearby, the childcare provider, Sister Chen, looked guiltily at Huo Shiyuan.

Little Huohuo looked at Sister Chen, “Mommy Chen, why did you bully Little Yingying?”
