I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Time to Help Chu Yan Find Her Biological Parents

When Gu Hanchen shouted to five, he took out his phone and entered 11, just shy of pressing 0.

Chu Yan looked pitifully at Bo Fan, “Bo Fan.”

If she really left the Gu family today, by tomorrow the whole of Jiang City would likely be abuzz with talk of Gu Hanchen driving her out of the Gu family for Yuan Xi.

Chu Yan, always so proud, how could she afford to lose face like this?

Bo Fan frowned and looked at Gu Hanchen, “Hanchen, we’re all friends, why must you be so ruthless?”

When Gu Hanchen counted to six, he heard Bo Fan’s remark and scoffed, “How many times has Chu Yan bullied Yuan Xi? The fact that Yuan Xi takes care of her brother-in-law for her parents-in-law has spread throughout the social circles, isn’t it all because Chu Yan has been a gossip behind her back?”

Chu Yan’s face turned ugly.

Gu Hanchen said, “Today, Chu Yan brought her bullying of Yuan Xi onto my turf, and I can’t bear it anymore.”

Yuan Xi looked at Chu Yan and said, “Chu Yan, you kept saying how important the child’s birthday is and asked me not to make things difficult for Mr. Gu. What about now? Mr. Gu has already asked you to leave, yet you insist on staying. Who is really making things difficult for Mr. Gu?”

Chu Yan’s face turned an iron shade of green.

Gu Hanchen stretched out his finger and began counting numbers.

“7, 8, 9, 10!”

Gu Hanchen turned to the Gu Manor’s bodyguards, “Go ahead and drive Chu Yan out.”

Naturally, Chu Yan wouldn’t let the bodyguards touch her, she glared at the approaching bodyguards and said, “I’ll leave on my own.”

Her face turned from pale to green as she grasped Bo Fan’s hand, “Bo Fan, let’s go!”

Bo Fan hesitated for a moment. Today, with Chu Yan being driven away, it was clear that Gu Hanchen didn’t regard him highly.

Normally, Gu Hanchen not giving face to the Bo Family should warrant a stormy departure.

But if Chu Yan leaves alone, it could be interpreted as Gu Hanchen making a statement with a subordinate vice president, not really a snub to the Bo Family.

If Bo Fan left with Chu Yan and Gu Hanchen didn’t ask him to stay, it would signify discord between the two families.

Now, the Bo Family could not afford to make enemies within the top echelons of Jiang City’s elite circles.

After all, if the Bo Family and Gu Family became antagonistic, many elites in Jiang City might not side with the Bo Family when choosing sides.

The Bo Family was in dire need of connections; making an enemy of the Gu Family would do them no favors.

Thus, Bo Fan turned to Chu Yan and said, “Yingying, Hanchen is right; why bully Yuan Xi unnecessarily at Little Yingying’s birthday party today? You should go back and cool off.”

“Yuan Xi, Hanchen, don’t be too upset either.”

Chu Yan, noticing Bo Fan had no intention of leaving with her and even accused her of bullying Yuan Xi, furrowed her brows and her face grew even darker.

Gu Hanchen looking at Bo Fan in front of him, could only feel that the brother he had grown up with had become despicable.

Tears filled Chu Yan’s eyes, but she still held her head high and looked proudly at Gu Hanchen:

“Gu Hanchen, you will definitely regret driving me away.”

Chu Yan walked out of the Gu Manor, looking at Yuan Xi and Gu Hanchen chatting happily inside, she clenched her fists tight.

Her face ashen with rage, Chu Yan felt the indignity of today, and she vowed to return it to Yuan Xi and Gu Hanchen!

Hesitating, Chu Yan picked up her phone and dialed a familiar number, “Huo Shiyuan.”

“Hello.”

The voice on the other end of the phone was a woman’s.

Soon, Fu Yi’s voice came through, “Yingying, what’s the matter?”

Chu Yan, her voice trembling with a crying tone, said, “Huo Shiyuan, can you come and pick me up?”

Fu Yi, hearing Chu Yan’s trembling sobs, quickly asked, “Where are you?”

After Fu Yi received the address Chu Yan sent over, he looked at Ren Tian by the window and said, “You should go back. This place is, after all, provided by Gu Hanchen for me to live in. It’s not appropriate for you to stay here.”

Ren Tian, looking down at the stunning view of Jiang City from the twenty-first floor’s floor-to-ceiling window, said softly, “It seems like the rainy season has arrived again. It’s been really stuffy and hot lately. The landlord still hasn’t fixed the air conditioning in the rental, and it seems he won’t fix it at all. Can’t I stay here? At least it’s not hot.”

Fu Yi said, “Don’t make trouble.” @@novelbin@@

Helplessly, Ren Tian left the building. She watched as Fu Yi drove away in the Aston Martin that Gu Hanchen had lent him.

If Ren Tian didn’t know that Fu Yi, like her, had been abandoned by their parents since childhood, she would truly believe that Fu Yi was a super-rich tycoon.

…

Inside Gu Manor.

Without Chu Yan around, Yuan Xi’s ears suddenly quieted down, and she started playing games with Xiao Shihuo and Little Yingying.

Yuan Xi looked at the two children in front of her, eagerly anticipating the twins in her own belly.

Huo Shiyuan explained to Yuan Xi, “There’s no prestigious family marriage between me and Qian Yiren. She’s not my childhood sweetheart. I only have one childhood sweetheart.”

Yuan Xi’s smile paused slightly. She tried hard to show a professionally restrained smile, “Hmm.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “We need to help Chu Yan find her biological parents.”

Yuan Xi, “Hmm?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Chu Yan repeatedly humiliates you in public. I fear such instances won’t decrease in the future. Gu Hanchen has driven her away, but it may not happen in every situation, and we can’t let her be too idle. We need to get her into some trouble.”

Yuan Xi gave a faint smile, “That’s true, but finding Chu Yan’s biological parents might not be so easy, right?”

Yuan Xi had searched for her parents for eight years, and the Chu Family had spent twenty-five years looking for her.

Huo Shiyuan said, “It’s not that easy, but it’s not that difficult either. Chu Yan was in an orphanage, which makes it somewhat easier to find her than investigating trafficking cases.”

Yuan Xi thought of human traffickers, and remembered her own origins, “I heard that the nanny who stole me and the trafficker were both sentenced to twenty-five years. By my calculations, they should be released from prison this year.”

The nanny who had stolen her and the trafficker who had taken her from the nanny had only abducted her, which wasn’t considered a severe case. Normally, they wouldn’t have been sentenced to twenty-five years.

It was because the Chu Family had hired the top lawyers in the country that they managed maximum penalties.

Although she had spent a wonderful eighteen years with her foster parents, she thought if she had grown up with her biological parents and brother, their lives wouldn’t be in such a mess today.

Yuan Xi felt that the twenty-five-year sentence was still too lenient.

Huo Shiyuan gently held Yuan Xi’s hand. “Most traffickers, after being caught, reveal where the children were sold to in hopes of reducing their sentences.

But after that trafficker was caught, although knowing that twenty-five years was a harsh sentence, providing your whereabouts could reduce several years, yet they stubbornly claimed you were sold to the north, refusing to disclose your location to reduce their sentence. It’s quite unusual.”

Yuan Xi also felt suspicious, “That trafficker is indeed strange.”

Huo Shiyuan sent a message to Qin Lang, asking him to hire a private detective to investigate thoroughly.

…

On the tree-lined avenue outside Gu Manor.

Chu Yan waited by the roadside for Huo Shiyuan to arrive.

Once Huo Shiyuan arrived, she planned to show Gu Hanchen just how big a mistake he had made by helping Yuan Xi drive her out of the Gu Family earlier.

Chu Yan couldn’t wait to see if, after Huo Shiyuan brought her into Gu Manor, Gu Hanchen would dare to drive both her and Huo Shiyuan away.

She was also eager to see Yuan Xi’s surprised face when Yuan Xi saw her and Huo Shiyuan entering Gu Manor together.
