I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 61: Chapter 61 Huo Shiyuan and Qian Yiren Are to Enter Into a Marriage Alliance

Yuan Xi couldn’t help laughing at Chu Yan’s words, “An apology? What gives you the right to demand an apology from me?”

Yu Xiaoxiao stood to the side with her arms crossed, looking down at Yuan Xi, “The Qian Yiren coming to discuss cooperation with Hengfan on behalf of Fu An Group, I’ve heard she’s going to marry Mi Chen’s major shareholder Huo Shiyuan. She’s undoubtedly the future Young Madam of the Huo Family. Now that the Bo Family is cooperating with Qian Yiren…”

Yu Xiaoxiao hadn’t finished speaking when Chu Yan interrupted loudly, “You’re saying Huo Shiyuan and Qian Yiren are getting married?”

Yu Xiaoxiao replied, “Yes! Huo Shiyuan and Qian Yiren are childhood sweethearts.”

Yuan Xi glanced sideways at Huo Shiyuan beside her. How many childhood sweethearts does he have, really?

Fu Qin is one, Qian Yiren another, and then there’s that little girl in the blue dress on the bedside table. Huo Shiyuan’s childhood seemed rather lively, having so many people to play with.

Huo Shiyuan explained softly to Yuan Xi, “That’s not the case.”

“Yu Xiaoxiao, what brings you to my Gu Family?”

Gu Hanchen saw the group of rich girls surrounding them and walked over just in time to hear Yu Xiaoxiao’s words.

Seeing Gu Hanchen, Yu Xiaoxiao dropped her arrogant pose, “Brother Hanchen!”

Gu Hanchen felt goosebumps rise, “Today, no one invited you over.”

Yu Xiaoxiao said, “Grandma Gu invited me. Brother Hanchen, you’re Yuan Xi’s boss. Could you have Yuan Xi apologize to Chu Yan?”

“This time Yuan Xi did indeed go too far. It’s unreasonable to make the Chu Family drive away Chu Yan now that she’s back. With Fu An and Hengfan’s cooperation, the Bo Family will surely rise to the next level.”

“Moreover, the person leading the cooperation with the Bo Family is Qian Yiren, the marriage partner of Mi Chen’s major shareholder Huo Shiyuan. Don’t let Yuan Xi leave an impression that Mi Chen’s employees love to bully others.

Brother Hanchen, please have Yuan Xi apologize to Chu Yan here, and let the matter of her bullying Chu Yan pass.”

Yuan Xi stood up, looking down at Chu Yan who was a head shorter, “Chu Yan, you say I’m bullying you. Don’t you find that ridiculous?”

Chu Yan replied, “Sister, isn’t you making me leave the Chu Family a form of bullying?”

Chu Li chimed in from the side, “Exactly, have you considered that the Bo Family’s cooperation with Fu An this time could lead to connections and partnerships for the Chu Family? Do you realize how much loss you will cause our Chu Family by driving away Chu Yan?”

The group of young socialites around them also started to express their indignation on behalf of Chu Yan.

Chu Yan continued, “Sister, just give me an apology. I’m magnanimous and won’t hold a grudge.”

Yuan Xi, annoyed by the noise, turned to Gu Hanchen, “Gu Hanchen, now it’s your turn to make a choice. At today’s birthday party, either Chu Yan stays, or I will leave. You decide.”

Gu Hanchen looked at Chu Yan and then at Yuan Xi.

Just then, Bo Fan arrived, and Chu Yan stepped in front of him to speak to Gu Hanchen, “Hanchen, we’ve been good friends for many years, grown up together. For my sake, please don’t hold a grudge against my sister or pay heed to her ultimatum.”

Does Yuan Xi think too highly of herself?

Even the Chu Family wouldn’t make such a choice for her sake. Does she really believe her five years as Gu Hanchen’s secretary could sway him to offend lifelong friends like Bo Fan and Chu Lin?

Huo Shiyuan got up and called out to Xiao Shihuo playing nearby, “Huohuo, it’s time for us to go back.”

Gu Hanchen turned to Special Assistant Wang, “Get the security guards here to escort them out.”

Chu Yan clung to Bo Fan’s arm, “Bo Fan, please persuade Hanchen not to stoop to my sister’s level. If my sister gets thrown out of this Gu Family banquet, how will she ever face anyone in Jiang City again!”

Yu Xiaoxiao said to Chu Yan, “Chu Yan, she asked for the ultimatum herself. If she gets thrown out, so be it. Why plead for her? Isn’t this a consequence Yuan Xi brought upon herself?”

Special Assistant Wang arrived with the security guards and approached Chu Yan, “Miss Chu, please leave.”

Chu Yan looked incredulously at Special Assistant Wang, “Are you sure you understood Mr. Gu’s intentions correctly? Hanchen, did Special Assistant Wang misunderstand you?”

Gu Hanchen placed his hand on Yuan Xi’s shoulder, “No misunderstanding!”

“Chu Yan, who gave you the nerve to come to my territory and insult my people?”

“Did you think I, Gu Hanchen, am easy-going?”

“Even if Yuan Xi is nothing special, she’s still my deputy general manager at Mi Chen. Even when you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner!”

Huo Shiyuan stepped forward and removed Gu Hanchen’s hand from Yuan Xi’s shoulder, giving Gu Hanchen a dark glance:

“Who’s the dog? Who’s the owner?”

Gu Hanchen touched his nose and said, “Just an inappropriate analogy.”

Gu Hanchen swept his gaze over Yu Xiaoxiao and Chu Yan, “Not to mention that Qian Yiren is here to acquire Hengfan, even if it really were a Hengfan partnership, what so what? What right does Chu Yan have to use Qian Yiren’s name to gold-plate her own face?”

“Do you think you can bully Yuan Xi just because she doesn’t have anyone to protect her?”

“The Chu Family may not protect Yuan Xi, but I, Gu Hanchen, will!”

“Today I make it clear, anyone who bullies Yuan Xi in the future is disrespecting me, Gu Hanchen!”

“Chu Yan, Yu Xiaoxiao, you two can leave now!”

Chu Yan looked at Bo Fan who was by her side. Bo Fan spoke up, “Hanchen, we’re all friends. Why must it be like this? Today we’re here to celebrate Xiao Ying’s birthday, let’s not talk about driving anyone away. Chu Yan is also like a sister you’ve watched grow up.”

Gu Hanchen replied, “I don’t have such a sister!”

“Chu Yan, you’d best leave on your own. It would be quite embarrassing to have my bodyguard escort you out.”

Chu Yan took a deep breath, unable to believe Gu Hanchen would go this far for Yuan Xi.

Chu Yan saw the looks on the faces of the other young ladies of wealth staring at her and felt a burning pain on her face.

Bo Fan looked at Gu Hanchen and said, “Are you really going to drive Chu Yan away for the sake of one Yuan Xi and risk offending the Bo Family, Chu Family, and Yu Family?”

Gu Hanchen replied, “Wasn’t it you who first came to my place and bullied my people? Who’s offending whom, let’s get that straight!”

Yu Xiaoxiao spoke up, “I won’t leave, Gu Hanchen. Grandma Gu is the one who invited me to the birthday party. If you drive me and Chu Yan away, how will you explain it to Grandma Gu?”

Gu Nuan was entertaining her friends on the side. When she saw a crowd gathering and involving bodyguards from afar, she hurried over to take control of the situation.

“Gu Hanchen, what’s going on? What’s this about driving people away?”

“Sister Gu Nuan.”

Chu Yan looked at Gu Nuan, “Today is Xiao Ying’s birthday party. We came here happily to celebrate her birthday, but Yuan Xi insists on making Hanchen choose between us, saying the party can’t have both her and me. Isn’t that too presumptuous?”

Chu Yan didn’t believe that if Gu Hanchen was helping Yuan Xi, Gu Nuan would still take Yuan Xi’s side.

Gu Hanchen said, “Sister, it was Chu Yan and her group who disrespected me first, bullying my deputy general manager at my own Gu Family’s place.”

Chu Yan feigned a smile, “Sister Gu Nuan, we are all friends. We won’t hold this against Yuan Xi. Let’s just all have a good time celebrating the kid’s birthday.”

Chu Yan then turned to Yuan Xi, “Sister, let me apologize to you again, and we can let bygones be bygones.”

“You made it difficult for mom and dad by forcing them to choose, let’s not make it difficult for the Gu Family now. After all, today is the birthday of their child. Don’t make it hard for Hanchen anymore.”

Yuan Xi looked at Gu Hanchen with a light smile, “Mr. Gu, is this difficult for you?”

“Not difficult at all.”

Gu Hanchen raised a finger, “Chu Yan, I’m going to count to ten. If you don’t leave on your own by then, you’ll have to choose between being dragged out by my bodyguard and being taken away by the police.” @@novelbin@@
