Chapter 130: Chapter 130 Are the Two Babies Boys or Girls?
Yuan Xi spent the entire Sunday focused on the online public opinion, while also feeling a bit apprehensive.
If she had not dismissed Wu Liang and Yan Lingling out of sentiment for them as the core team members who started “Fall in Love with the Stars,” Li Ni’s video would have truly plunged Michen into a public opinion crisis.
Yuan Xi dared not even think about what shape Michen’s stocks would take when the market opened the next day.
Fortunately, she had not gone soft.
In the afternoon, Huo Shiyuan pushed the door open and said, “It’s time to go.”
Yuan Xi put her laptop in her bag and asked, “Is Huohuo coming with us?”
Huo Shiyuan shook his head, “Someone in City A can take care of him.”
Yuan Xi followed Huo Shiyuan into the car. Throughout the journey, her phone never stopped buzzing.
Even though Gu Hanchen was still in the hospital, with such a major public uproar, Yuan Xi had no free time at all.
Yuan Xi decided to deal with various emails on the small table in the car until they reached Ruohu Mansion.
Yuan Xi was busy for several days in a row; both “Fall in Love with the Stars” and Michen needed to capitalize on this wave of free publicity.
Yuan Xi was so busy she had the HR department find her two new assistants, one was Tao Wen who had just graduated with a master’s degree, and the other was a male secretary named Qi Yi poached from another company.
With the new assistant secretaries, Yuan Xi’s workload became much lighter.
By mid-September, it was still scorchingly hot outside.
Because of the good ecology at Ruohu Mansion, the afternoon cicada sounds were extremely annoying. If it weren’t for a pregnancy check-up, Yuan Xi would not have wanted to go out in such hot weather.
This time, the check-up included a four-dimensional ultrasound, and both the gender of the babies in her belly could be determined, something Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan were quite looking forward to.
The car drove to the private hospital reserved for their appointment; Yuan Xi did not need to queue up.
During the four-dimensional scan, Yuan Xi asked the doctor next to her, “Are the two babies boys or girls?”
The doctor replied, “Sorry, we are not allowed to disclose that under the regulations.”
Huo Shiyuan added from the side, “Not even in private hospitals?”
Yuan Xi smiled lightly, “If it can’t be said, let’s just wait and see at birth.”
They truly had many ways to find out the gender if they wanted to, but for Yuan Xi, as long as the children were hers, she would love them regardless, and finding out at birth wasn’t an issue either.
The children on the four-dimensional ultrasound were very clear yet ugly; Yuan Xi glanced sideways at the faces of the two children displayed on the machine, slightly stunned.
Even if she wasn’t considered a beauty, she thought her looks were decent, so why were both babies not good-looking?
Huo Shiyuan, however, didn’t think they were ugly and took a photo to share in the family group. Remembering that Yuan Xi was not in the group yet, he added her.
Yuan Xi saw the praises from Grandma Shi and Granny Huo about the two children’s appearances in the group.
The private hospital wasn’t far from the public hospital where Gu Hanchen was staying.
Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan took the opportunity to visit Gu Hanchen.
As they walked into the hospital lobby, Yuan Xi saw a prison guard with a woman in her fifties at the medication checkout paying the bill.
“Shiyan, look at that woman with the handcuffs on her hands; she seems somewhat familiar to me.”
Huo Shiyuan took a closer look and said, “She resembles Chu Yan.”
Although handcuffed, the woman looked completely dispirited, but one could vaguely see a resemblance to Chu Yan from her facial features.
“You are about to be released from prison, and this is your last time wearing handcuffs to the hospital. Make sure you live a good life after you get out!”
“Okay, okay.”
Yuan Xi looked at the woman in handcuffs; she didn’t seem like an utterly wicked person, and Yuan Xi wondered what she had done.
Yuan Xi didn’t dwell on this episode. Upon entering Gu Hanchen’s hospital room, Special Assistant Wang stood up and greeted, “Chairman Yuan, President Huo.”
Yuan Xi looked at Special Assistant Wang and said with a faint smile, “How about Gu Hanchen? Can he get out of bed now?”
Special Assistant Wang nodded, “Yes, he can get out of bed now. Mr. Gu has gone to Mr. Chu’s birthday party.”
“Mr. Chu? Chu Lin?”
Yuan Xi vaguely remembered that Chu Lin indeed had invited her to his 28th birthday banquet.
However, before Chu Lin could say a second sentence, Yuan Xi had already blocked his new number.
Chu Lin and Chu Yan had grown up together, and in Chu Lin’s heart, he always treated Chu Yan as his own sister.
The missed time also meant that they could never be siblings without any reservations.
“Isn’t Gu Hanchen still covered in injuries?” Huo Shiyuan asked.
Special Assistant Wang replied, “He went in a wheelchair.”
For the young master of the Chu Family’s birthday banquet, Chu Lin had booked an entire luxury cruise ship owned by the Gu Family in Jiang City.
The night river scenery was splendid, and the luxury cruise ship was filled with the young masters and mistresses of Jiang City.
On the deck, Gu Hanchen sat in a wheelchair, holding a glass of red wine, looking at the Michen Building in the distance.
Gu Hanchen said to Liang Suisui beside him, “The night view of the Michen Building is really beautiful. The lights that shine all night long are like the continuously rising money in my account. Life is as easy as flipping one’s hand.”
Liang Suisui sneered, “The lights that shine all night long are the hard work of the workers, huh, are you quite proud of it? I haven’t forgotten how you’ve exploited Xiao Xi over these five years!”
Gu Hanchen gave up acting solemn and coughed, “Not all the lights in Michen are on, look at the Chuneng Group next door. That’s called excessive, that’s called exploitation!”
Liang Suisui was attending such a glamorous party for the first time. It was a circle of young masters and mistresses, and she just couldn’t fit in.
“Where’s Xiao Xi? I’ve looked all over and haven’t seen Xiao Xi.”
Gu Hanchen blew into the slightly cool river breeze of September, “Yuan Xi? Yuan Xi and Chu Lin aren’t on good terms, how could she come to Chu Lin’s birthday party?”
Liang Suisui said, “Then why did I hear someone say that today Chu Lin’s sister would come, and even say that Chu Lin’s sister has now become a big shot?”
“The heiress of Fu An Group, isn’t she a big shot?”
“Damn!” Liang Suisui glared at Gu Hanchen angrily, “You’re telling me that Chu Lin didn’t invite his own sister Yuan Xi to his birthday today, but invited Chu Yan who was driven out of the Chu Family?”
Gu Hanchen looked at the anger in Liang Suisui’s eyes, “Chu Lin did invite Yuan Xi, but Yuan Xi directly blocked his number. I don’t dare to help him ask Yuan Xi to come.
As for Chu Yan, she asked to come herself. After all, they were siblings for twenty-five years. Chu Yan indeed was driven out of the Chu Family and is no longer their daughter, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be friends. Moreover, Chu Yan is now also the heiress of Fu An Group…”
Liang Suisui frowned deeply, “I want to leave here!”
Gu Hanchen turned his head, “Sister, this is on a cruise ship in the River Center. Are you planning to swim back?”
Liang Suisui furrowed her brows, went to find Chu Lin who was surrounded by people, and pulled him into a cabin room. She frowned at Chu Lin, “Why did you invite Chu Yan instead of Yuan Xi to your birthday?”
Chu Lin explained, “I did invite Yuan Xi, but she refused. As for Chu Yan, she was driven out of the Chu Family, that’s true, but now she is also the heiress of Fu An Group. She took the initiative to come to celebrate my birthday. How could I refuse after twenty-five years of sibling affection?”
Liang Suisui frowned deeply, feeling sad for Yuan Xi, “Chu Lin, no wonder Yuan Xi blocked you!”
After saying this, Liang Suisui left the cabin and saw Chu Yan already in the center of the crowd.
Chu Yan was all too familiar with these Jiang City young masters and mistresses. After all, they had previously flattered her.
She was still enjoying their adulation, even more so than before.
Chu Li walked up to Chu Yan, touching her wine glass, “Sister.”
Chu Yan said, “I’ve already been driven out of the Chu Family by Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi is your real sister.”
“I don’t care. I only acknowledge you as my cousin. Grandma is almost infuriated to death by Yuan Xi.”
Chu Li said, “Grandma, my parents, and I all acknowledge only you as our family. Yuan Xi doesn’t deserve to be our family.”
Liang Suisui glared at Chu Lin behind her, then approached Chu Li and said, “Thinking of being family with our Xiao Xi? You don’t deserve it either!”
What do you think?
