I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Father-Daughter Relationship

Gu Hanchen instantly thought of Huo Shiyuan’s DNA test from the previous day.

“Huo Shiyuan, was it Little Yingying’s paternity test report you had tested yesterday?!”

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan clearly hadn’t expected Little Yingying to know that Sister Chen had deliberately plucked her hair, and were waiting for Gu Nuan to return to report the matter.

Gu Hanchen looked towards Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan with a darkened expression, “You’ve gone too far!”

Yuan Xi repeatedly apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss Gu, we shouldn’t have tested Little Ying without your consent.”

Gu Nuan tightly held Little Ying’s hand.

Yuan Xi looked towards Gu Nuan and said, “Miss Gu, may I invite you for a cup of coffee?”

Gu Nuan replied, “Sure.”

Yuan Xi led Gu Nuan to a scenic terrace on the second floor. From the viewing terrace, the scenery of Ruohu was fully in view.

Holding a coffee cup, Gu Nuan commented, “The view here is truly exceptional.”

Yuan Xi continued to apologize, “I am sorry, Miss Gu, we shouldn’t have secretly done the DNA test on Little Ying without telling you.”

Gu Nuan said, “You can just call me Gu Nuan. Now that you know the results, what do you plan to do?”

Yuan Xi said, “Shiyan and I haven’t told Xiao Yun about this yet. Sister Gu Nuan, Xiao Yun seems to be completely unaware about your child. Is there perhaps some misunderstanding between you and Xiao Yun?”

Seeing Gu Nuan didn’t answer, Yuan Xi asked again, “Is it because of Gu Qingyi? Gu Qingyi’s daughter is also named Gu Ying, and she was born on June 1st as well…”

Gu Nuan frowned slightly, “Also named Gu Ying?”

Yuan Xi asked, “Didn’t you know her daughter is called Gu Ying?”

Gu Nuan shook her head and took a sip of coffee before she slowly said, “There’s actually nothing between Xiao Yun and me. If anything, it was initially just a one-sided crush from me.”

Gu Nuan let out a self-deprecating laugh, “Ten years ago, when I thought I was going to die at the hands of pirates, Xiao Yun appeared out of nowhere to save me. I was still in college at the time, only twenty-one, and seeing him dressed in uniform coming to rescue me, I couldn’t help but fall in love with him.

I met him again four years later, when I attended a banquet in City A. I encountered Xiao Yun, who seemed feverish and drunk, in the hotel elevator.

At that time, there was no one with Xiao Yun, and I was worried something might happen to him being drunk alone, so I took Xiao Yun to his room and sent my assistant to buy a thermometer and fever medicine. After my assistant left, Xiao Yun then…”

Gu Nuan set down her coffee cup, “At that time, I simply had no thoughts of resisting, after all, he was the man I had been longing for for four years. After a foolish night, since I had a morning meeting, I left.

I had just started working at Gu Shipyard at that time and was quite busy, I also felt too embarrassed to contact Xiao Yun myself.

It was only after three months, when I discovered I was pregnant with Little Ying and went to find Xiao Yun, that I encountered Gu Qingyi.

It turned out that Gu Qingyi was actually Xiao Yun’s official girlfriend, and she was also pregnant at that time.

I thought about aborting Little Ying, but when the day came to do it, I just couldn’t go through with it. After all, we Gu Family could afford to raise another child.

If you hadn’t gone to do the DNA test, I would never tell Xiao Yun about his child, nor would I ever let Little Ying disturb his life.”

A sudden male voice came from behind the two, “Was it you that night, not Gu Qingyi?”

When Gu Nuan saw Xiao Yun again, her hand trembled.

Gu Nuan quickly composed herself, stood up, and said, “I don’t know which night you are talking about…”

“It was six years ago, in the big suite in City A at Shixi,” Xiao Yun said, his voice full of emotion. “That was the only time. When I woke up the next day, lying beside me was Gu Qingyi!”

Xiao Yun didn’t know how long he vomited after that.

Afterwards, he never revisited the events of that night, as thinking about it brought only the image of Gu Qingyi with a heavily made-up face the next morning, and it made him feel sick to his stomach.

Gu Nuan glanced at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi picked up his coffee cup and stood up, saying, “I have other matters, you two talk.”

Yuan Xi walked out to the terrace and was suddenly pulled by a forceful grasp.

Yuan Xi staggered a step but then found himself in a familiar embrace.

Huo Shiyuan hugged Yuan Xi, glaring at Gu Hanchen who had just been pulling Yuan Xi.

Gu Hanchen whispered, “I was wrong, I was wrong; don’t glare at me anymore.”

Yuan Xi looked at the two emerging business elites, one the president of Shixi Finance and the other the president of Mi Chen Game, gossiping at a corner, feeling speechless.

On the balcony.

Xiao Yun stared straight at Gu Nuan, “The person that day was you. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Gu Nuan: “How could I know you were so drunk that you could mistake someone else?”

“That night I wasn’t drunk, I was drugged,” Xiao Yun slowly said, “You should have brought Little Yingying to see me.”

“Come to you? You already have a daughter and you are married to Gu Qingyi…”

Xiao Yun said, “I don’t have any other daughters! I’ve only ever been with one woman in my life. If that night was you, and you left in the morning, then I couldn’t possibly have been with Gu Qingyi.

If Little Ying is my daughter, then the child born by Gu Qingyi definitely isn’t my daughter. She named her child Gu Ying, even the birthdays are the same. She must have falsified your daughter’s identity.”

Unlike yesterday when Huo Shiyuan sought a private institution, a formal DNA test process is quite cumbersome, and even a birth certificate for the infant is needed.

Xiao Yun guessed that Gu Qingyi absolutely knew that the child of Gu Nuan was his…

So, Gu Qingyi boldly copied everything from Gu Nuan’s daughter’s birth certificate, except for the name of the biological mother.

Recalling when Gu Qingyi met her, she constantly referred to a bastard child. Gu Nuan indeed felt somewhat at fault since she indeed secretly had the child of Gu Qingyi’s husband.

Though at that time, Gu Qingyi was not yet married.

But she hadn’t expected that it was to this extent; Gu Qingyi not only stole her identity but also had her own daughter steal the identity of her daughter!

Gu Nuan did not even think to question the truth of Xiao Yun’s words. She believed Xiao Yun would not lie, nor was there a need for him to.

“Why did you tell Little Ying that her father had died?”

Gu Nuan responded, “You married Gu Qingyi; to me, that’s no different from being dead. I couldn’t possibly come with the child to see you and Gu Qingyi.”

Xiao Yun said, “Between Gu Qingyi and me, there was only calculation, nothing else.”

Gu Nuan: “Oh.”

After Gu Nuan’s response, the balcony fell into silence.

Gu Hanchen frowned and said, “Just ‘oh’? Gu Nuan should counter with, ‘There’s nothing between us, you need not explain to me,’ and then Brother Xiao could retort with, ‘How can there be nothing between us?'”

The balcony remained quiet for a long time until Xiao Yun finally spoke, “Can I tell Little Ying that I am her father?”

Gu Nuan: “Whatever you want, I’m leaving now!”

“Don’t go!” Gu Hanchen came out, “Sis, stay in the mansion for one more dinner. Huo Shiyuan’s chef is extraordinary, and you will not regret staying for dinner. Plus, I see that Little Ying also seems eager to stay and play with Little Huohuo.”

Yuan Xi said, “Yes, Sister Gu Nuan, stay and have dinner with us. My friend will also come over.”

Gu Nuan did not refuse. Although Little Ying openly accepted that her father was dead, which five-year-old child wouldn’t yearn for a father?

Initially, Gu Nuan thought Xiao Yun was still involved with Gu Qingyi and harbored resentment towards him, but now knowing it was a misunderstanding, she wouldn’t stop him from interacting with his daughter.

…

In a suite at Shiyi Hotel.

Fu Yi received a phone call and quickly hung up.

Chu Yan looked at Fu Yi and asked, “Whose call was that? Ren Tian again?”

Fu Yi had blacklisted Ren Tian’s number, walked over, and wrapped his arms around Chu Yan’s waist, pinning her against the French window.

Chu Yan pushed Fu Yi slightly, “Fu Yi… we need to keep some distance… after all, this is Shiyi Hotel, and perhaps Huo Shiyuan will see us… You know, I am now the true heiress of the Fu Family, and sooner or later, the Fu Family will want me to marry into another family…”

Fu Yi chuckled lightly, “No, Chairman Fu will only have us get married.”

Chu Yan asked, “What? Have us get married?”
