I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Chu Yan’s Wealth Comes Later

Huo Shiyuan: “I need to deliver lunch to Yuan Xi at Mi Chen’s at noon, so it’s not convenient to have lunch together.”

Qian Yiren looked at Yuan Xi and smiled faintly at Huo Shiyuan, “Alright, we’ll catch up next time you are back in City A.”

After agreeing, Huo Shiyuan let go of Xiao Shihuo and took Yuan Xi’s hand to the elevator.

Once they were in the elevator,

Yuan Xi looked up at Huo Shiyuan, “I noticed the logo on Qian Yiren’s clothes is the same as yours, FQ. Is this Fu Qin’s brand?”

Huo Shiyuan nodded, “Yes, ever since Fu Qin went to university to study fashion design, I’ve mostly worn clothes designed by Fu Qin, except on some important occasions. Fu Qin’s designs were pretty good before. However, recently she started dating a male college student and her designs for summer outfits are getting more college student-like. If you have time, help me pick a few sets you like.”

Yuan Xi listened to Huo Shiyuan’s complaints and chuckled, “I think they look good on you.”

Huo Shiyuan: “As long as you like them.”

…

June 1st.

On Saturday, Yuan Xi slept in, a rare occurrence.

Because she was going to the Gu Family’s birthday party, Yuan Xi chose a dress from her wardrobe and headed downstairs.

Huo Shiyuan and Xiao Shihuo were already waiting for her.

Just as Yuan Xi sat down, she received a call from her cousin at the Liang Family, “Hello, Xiao Hao, what’s up?”

“Big sis, grandma and grandpa asked me to bring you some eggs from our own chickens. They insisted I bring them to you. I’m outside your mansion now, but the bodyguards stopped me.”

Yuan Xi turned to Huo Shiyuan, “Xiao Hao brought over some eggs from our own chickens, but the bodyguards are stopping him…”

Huo Shiyuan glanced at the butler nearby, “Let him in.”

Liang Hao came in carrying a bucket full of eggs and, seeing the decor inside, said somewhat shyly, “Sis, I know your brother-in-law’s family isn’t lacking good eggs, but grandma and grandpa insisted those store-bought eggs aren’t authentic. Don’t look down on these.”

Yuan Xi chuckled, “How could we? Have you had breakfast yet?”

Liang Hao smiled, “Yes, I have.”

Yuan Xi noticed the FQ embroidery on Liang Hao’s clothes and commented, “That shirt looks nice.”

“My girlfriend made it for me, of course it’s nice!”

“You are dating at such a young age?” Yuan Xi was a bit surprised.

Liang Hao nodded, “Sis, what era are we in now? Isn’t it normal for high school students to have girlfriends?”

Before Yuan Xi could react, Huo Shiyuan, noticing the familiar logo on Liang Hao’s clothes, asked seriously, “Does your girlfriend know you’re a high school student?”

Liang Hao guiltily said, “I’m about to take the college entrance exams. If you round it off, I’m practically a university student.”

Only then did Yuan Xi understand the implication of Huo Shiyuan’s words, leaving her quite shocked, “You… do you know who your girlfriend is?” @@novelbin@@

Liang Hao: “How could I not know who my girlfriend is? Sis, I need to go now.”

Yuan Xi was certain Liang Hao didn’t know his girlfriend was the daughter of the Fu An Group.

But considering the boy had the college entrance exam in a week, she didn’t want to scare him and affect his mood, she refrained from saying more, “Good luck with your exams.”

Liang Hao smiled, “Don’t worry, sis, at worst I’ll still have my guaranteed spot at University A.”

After delivering the eggs, Liang Hao rode off on his little electric scooter, leaving Yuan Xi speechless watching him go.

Huo Shiyuan said, “Xiao Hao is still young, and Fu Qin generally doesn’t date anyone for more than three months. It’s probably just a fling, no need to fuss over it.”

Huo Shiyuan asked the maid to store the eggs in the fridge, and Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, Xiao Shihuo urged Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan to go with him to his classmate’s birthday party.

When they arrived at the Gu Family’s place, they were among the early ones.

“Huohuo!”

“Yingying!”

Xiao Shihuo ran to Little Yingying, who was dressed in a princess dress, as soon as he got out of the car, “Yingying, happy birthday.”

Gu Nuan said beside Little Yingying, “Yingying, so this is the Xiao Shihuo fellow you’ve always been talking about? My daughter truly has great taste.”

Xiao Shihuo then sweetly called out to Gu Nuan, “Sister.”

Being thirty-one, Gu Nuan heard a child of her daughter’s age call her ‘sister’; she immediately burst into a joyful smile.

“What ‘sister’? Even ‘aunt’ makes her sound young!”

Gu Hanchen walked over to Xiao Shihuo and picked him up, pinching his face.

Xiao Shihuo swatted Gu Hanchen’s hand away, “I don’t like you, why do you always pinch my face whenever you see me?”

Gu Hanchen replied, “Because I can’t pinch your brother’s face.”

Gu Nuan looked towards Gu Hanchen, “You know this child?”

“Yuan Xi’s little brother-in-law,” Gu Hanchen introduced.

Gu Nuan said, “I’ve heard about it, Yuan Xi’s in-laws really are unreliable, how could they just let their son-in-law, who married the daughter of a wealthy family, practically raise their younger son too?”

Gu Hanchen asked, “Sister, who’s been spreading such nonsense?”

Gu Nuan answered, “That’s the rumor going around everywhere, both are daughters of the Chu Family. Chu Yan is much luckier than Yuan Xi. I heard recently that Hengfan and the Fu An Group from A City are cooperating.”

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan came over with gifts, “Miss Gu, Mr. Gu, Little Yingying.”

Gu Nuan looked at Huo Shiyuan standing next to Yuan Xi and laughed, “No wonder you’d rather live in the countryside just to marry him, his looks are indeed worth it.”

Yuan Xi just gave a slight smile, “I just heard Miss Gu mentioning that Fu An Group and Hengfan are in cooperation?”

Gu Nuan said, “Yes, the Fu An Group’s chairman’s wife’s niece, Qian Yiren, came to Hengfan for an investigation a few days ago. The news has spread far and wide. The Bo Family is going to climb even higher, and you don’t know how arrogant Bao Yan is yet.”

Gu Hanchen and Yuan Xi looked towards Huo Shiyuan.

Huo Shiyuan said, “Fu An never cooperates; it only acquires.”

Gu Hanchen said, “Then the Bo Family is quite bold to call it a cooperation. Could the news of Hengfan changing owners be hidden temporarily but for a lifetime?”

Xiao Shihuo wriggled out from Gu Hanchen’s hold and took a gift from Huo Shiyuan’s hands, handing it to the little girl in front of him, “Here’s your birthday gift.”

Little Yingying opened the box, saw the crown inside, and covered her small mouth in surprise, “I love it so much.”

Xiao Shihuo helped Little Yingying put on the crown.

Yuan Xi looked at this scene and remembered a time Brother Zhuangzhuang had put a crown on her. She was older then, about seven or eight years old.

Having put on the crown, Little Yingying started to spin around and show off.

Gu Nuan gave another look to Huo Shiyuan; the crown looked very expensive. Using it as a birthday gift among children showed their family was wealthy, likely not as the rumors suggested.

Gu Hanchen said to Yuan Xi, “Liang Suisui hasn’t replied to my messages for several days now. I invited her to a banquet at my house, and she also said she was too busy to come. What is she busy with?”

Yuan Xi replied, “She’s busy going on blind dates. Isn’t the demolition coming soon? Getting married before the demolition allows for an extra house compensation.”

Gu Hanchen said, “She took forty million, does she still need the money?”

Yuan Xi just smiled, “She said, ‘Why not take advantage if it’s cheap?’”

The Gu Family’s guests were gradually arriving. Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan sat in a corner watching Xiao Shihuo and Little Yingying play, while overhearing some heiress’ conversations.

“How come Chu Yan is so lucky? Though revealed as a fake heiress, now with the Bo Family and Fu Family from A City cooperating, as the future Mrs. Bo, her wealth is yet to come!”

“Being a true heiress, is Yuan Xi really willing to watch Chu Yan be so fortunate?”

“How could she be willing? I heard Yuan Xi made the Chu Family choose between the two daughters, they could only have one.”

In the midst of their conversation, they saw Chu Li, Chu Yan, and Yu Xiaoxiao approaching. The heiresses gathered around them quickly.

Circling past them, Chu Li approached Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan, “Yuan Xi, have you heard about the Fu An Group and Bo Family’s Hengfan cooperation? You should look in the mirror and assess yourself; how could you dare to let Chu Yan leave the Chu Family?”

Chu Li snorted, “It’s good our parents didn’t spoil you and accept your unreasonable demands, otherwise we would have offended not just the Bo Family but the Fu An Group as well.”

Chu Yan quickly said, “Ah, Lily, don’t talk about Sister like that. I believe Sister didn’t mean any harm. We’re all family. As long as Sister apologizes to me and stops making it hard for Mom and Dad to choose between us, Bo Fan and I won’t mind.”
