I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: At the Very Least, There’s Still Chu Yan’s Dowry

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan arrived at the entrance of the Liang Family’s home and saw the Liang Family’s iron gate closed tight, with a conspicuous convertible Bugatti parked outside.

The supercar was too eye-catching, attracting many onlookers, some of whom were taking photos and videos.

Chu Lin, sitting in the car, let the villagers take photos without hiding.

Yuan Xi approached Chu Lin and said, “You promised not to trouble Liang Suisui. She’s not seeing you, why park your car at her doorstep and attract a crowd?”

Chu Lin replied, “I came to apologize, but if she won’t open the door, I can only wait outside.”

Yuan Xi frowned slightly, “After you apologize to Liang Suisui, can you leave?”

Chu Lin nodded, “Yes.”

Yuan Xi called Liang Suisui, and then she finally came to open the door.

Chu Lin looked over, Liang Suisui hadn’t put on makeup and wore cotton pajamas, her long hair casually tied into a bun. She obviously just woke up not long ago, her face still slightly swollen…

Standing at the door, Liang Suisui looked at familiar faces in the village, and said to Chu Lin, “Apologize and then leave quickly!”

Chu Lin saw Liang Suisui’s appearance, let out a light laugh, got out of the car, and said, “I’m sorry.” @@novelbin@@

Liang Suisui responded, “I forgive you, now go quickly; your car is too conspicuous.”

“Yuan Xi, you’ve got the nerve to come back to the village!”

Yuan Xi heard a familiar voice, turned around, and saw a young woman in a floral dress, her foster parents’ elder cousin.

Yuan Jiao: “Yuan Xi, for the past few years on Qingming and winter solstice, you didn’t come back to offer incense. Making money but not buying anything for grandparents, now that you know the house is going to be demolished, you’re here to claim the compensation?”

Hearing this, the neighbors interjected in support of Yuan Xi.

“Yuan Hong’s daughter, you’re wrong, the house was supposed to be Yuan Xi’s.”

“Those two million in compensation given years ago you accepted, plus the sale of the workshop made another two million, and including your uncle and aunt’s savings of at least two million, nearly six million in total you all took, now you even want to take the house?”

Yuan Jiao, with a sharp tone: “Yuan Xi, just an adopted stray from another place, the Yuan family raised her until she was eighteen, she has no part in this house. Yuan Xi, I advise you to just sign off. You’re just a wild child someone abandoned…”

Yuan Xi frowned, her cousin Yuan Jiao was actually about the same age as her, but had always disliked her since childhood.

Back then, Yuan Xi didn’t understand and had friends like Chen Yuan and Liang Suisui; she didn’t grasp why her cousin looked down on her and didn’t want to play with her, later she realized it was because her cousin resented her for being adopted.

What Yuan Jiao said was in dialect; though Chu Lin was from Jiang City and rarely spoke dialect, he managed to understand it though with difficulty.

It wasn’t until he heard “an unwanted wild child” that Chu Lin frowned and said, “Yuan Xi is the legitimate heir to Chuneng Group, what unwanted wild child?”

Yuan Jiao shouted in shock, “Yuan Xi could be the real heir of Chuneng Group? She’s just an outsider’s bastard child!”

Chu Lin frowned and said, “Try spouting nonsense again? Chuneng Group’s lawyers aren’t for show!”

“Yuan Hong’s daughter, you see his car, all carbon supercar! And look at the license plate.”

Seeing the string of ‘8’s on the license plate, Yuan Jiao stopped the dispute and quickly ran back home.

Liang Suisui said beside them, “Mr. Chu’s mind is cured, come into the yard.”

Liang Suisui opened the yard gate, and Chu Lin drove the car inside.

After parking the car, Chu Lin looked at Yuan Xi, “Who was that woman just now?”

Liang Suisui explained, “Yuan Xi’s foster parents’ cousin, she has always had a habit of taking Yuan Xi’s things since they were kids. When Brother Zhuangzhuang came from the city as a child, bringing lots of tasty and fun things, her cousin always wanted to snatch them from her.”

Chu Lin looked at Yuan Xi and said, “You just let her take them? How could you make a choice between Yanyan and her, yet be so indulgent with her?”

Liang Suisui said, “I somewhat regret letting you in, apparently your brain still hasn’t recovered.”

Yuan Xi replied, “I didn’t let her take it away.”

The nanny at Liang Suisui’s home brought over some tea, “Suisui, that shirt of yours, I boiled it with exploding salt I bought from a livestream, and the wine stains are gone now. It’ll be fine after being sun-dried this afternoon.”

Chu Lin turned to Liang Suisui and said, “I asked you to wash it, how could you let someone else do it?”

Liang Suisui replied, “I, Liang Suisui, have lived for twenty-six years and have never washed clothes once. If you want me to wash your clothes, you’ll have to be even more handsome.”

…

In a café in Jiang City, it was the weekend and the café was quite busy.

Chu Yan looked at Zhou Jiameng in front of her and said, “Did you say Yuan Xi was at my house this noon?”

Zhou Jiameng nodded, “Mhmm.”

Chu Yan gripped her coffee cup tightly, they had invited Yuan Xi to a family meal and didn’t invite her…

It was false to say that Chu Yan wasn’t disappointed. Could twenty-five years of relationships be so fragile?

Especially after she was kicked out of the Gu Family’s house by Gu Hanchen yesterday, did the Chu Family really invite Yuan Xi over for lunch today?

Zhou Jiameng said, “Yanyan, don’t worry, Uncle Chu and Aunt Chu just invited Yuan Xi over for a meal, they definitely still care more about you. Everyone knows you’re about to marry Bo Fan, who is leagues ahead of Yuan Xi’s countryside husband.”

Chu Yan looked at her own phone; since she was kicked out by Gu Hanchen yesterday until now, Bo Fan hadn’t even called her once.

Zhou Jiameng continued, “But this Yuan Xi is somewhat capable. Maybe she’s afraid she won’t get much from her birth family later, so she’s even trying to pair up her best friend with Chu Lin, wanting her friend to enter the Chu Family…”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan laughed lightly, “Sister Jiameng, don’t worry, my mom has told me she is very pleased with you as her daughter-in-law.”

Hearing this, Zhou Jiameng let out a sigh of relief, “Yanyan, if there’s anything in your wedding that I can help with, just tell me.”

Chu Yan looked at the messages from Bo Fan on her phone and smiled, “Sure. Sister Jiameng, don’t worry, I’ve also considered you as my sister-in-law. No other vixen can become the CEO’s wife of the Chuneng Group.”

Zhou Jiameng gave a shy smile.

Chu Yan and Bo Fan were exchanging messages, her face lit up with a smile.

Inside the Bo Family home.

Father Bo was furiously hitting Madam Bo with a belt, “You gamble? You’re gambling again, Hengfan is about up for sale, and you dare to gamble?”

Madam Bo crawled to Bo Fan and pleaded, “Fan Fan, Fan Fan, tell your dad to stop, to stop…”

Father Bo said, “The Bo Family is barely hanging on, and you and Bao Yan just leave to Myanmar and lose a billion yuan. Even if the Bo Family has a lot of property, it cannot afford such losses!”

Bo Fan told his father, “Dad, mom was just trying to turn the tables to save the Bo family’s situation. Don’t worry, I’ve already contacted Huo Shiyuan. If worse comes to worst, we still have Chu Yan’s dowry.”

Father Bo was furious, cursing at Madam Bo, “If it weren’t for you and Bao Yan gambling, someone as outstanding as Bo Fan wouldn’t have to marry a fake rich girl!”

“The background of Chu Yan I’ve investigated. Chu Yan’s biological father is an idler who loiters around all day, nearly fifty now, always playing mahjong and never acting upright.”

“Let alone playing mahjong, Chu Yan’s father even boasts about having great wealth and living in a mansion in the future. With such a birth father, Chu Yan really doesn’t deserve to enter the Bo Family. Now for the sake of her dowry, it’s truly humiliating for Bo Fan!”

Bo Fan said, “Dad, please don’t hit mom and sister anymore, we will definitely get through this hardship.”

Father Bo sighed, “I’ve warned you time and time again not to give money to your mom and sister, yet you still did?

If this continues, even the discarded daughter of the Chu Family wouldn’t want to marry you.”
