I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: No Longer the Daughter of the Chu Family

“Yes, Mr. Yang, the IP address and the real-name authentication information of the Weibo post belong to Chu Yan.”

Yang Ying frowned deeply, she had truly believed that Chu Yan had accidentally liked the post.

She could hardly believe that the child they had raised for twenty-five years could be so malicious.

“What’s wrong?”

Chu Qing came out of the bathroom and noticed that Yang Ying’s expression was very troubled.

Yang Ying showed the evidence on her phone to Chu Qing.

...

Chu Qing was also in disbelief, “Ever since Xinxin came back, we have treated the two sisters equally; why would Chu Yan instigate cyberbullying against Xinxin!”

Yang Ying placed her hands on her face, pondered for a while, and said, “I’m truly ashamed of how we’ve treated Xinxin.”

Yang Ying took back her phone and dialed Yuan Xi, but only received an automated voice stating the number was out of service.

Yang Ying went downstairs and saw the haggard Chu Yan, feeling none of the usual pity.

“Madam, Miss, Sir, outside Madam Bo and Miss Bo, along with Bo Fan, have arrived.”

Yang Ying frowned and said, “Tell them that it’s inconvenient to meet today, and as for the marriage arrangements between our two families, let’s call it off.”

Chu Yan was frantic, “Mom! I don’t want to cancel the engagement.”

Yang Ying looked at Chu Yan and said, “Bo Fan’s affair is public knowledge; how can you marry him and let our Chu Family lose face?”

Chu Yan looked up at Yang Ying and said, “Mom, Bo Fan told me that he was just drunk that day, which is why that despicable Chao Qing took advantage of him.”

“Moreover, the exposure of Bo Fan’s affair by the paparazzi was all my sister’s scheme.”

“Bo Fan got in touch with a paparazzi who admitted that someone paid him five million to expose Bo Fan’s affair. The paparazzi also kept saying during the live broadcast that exposing Bo Fan was meant to harm Yuan Xi and called me a fake heiress and a green tea woman…”

Tears welled up in Chu Yan’s eyes as she cried, “Ever since my sister came back, I have been warm to her. She cannot also ruin my engagement just because others mock her for marrying a villager.”

“Mom, I really don’t want to cancel the engagement with Bo Fan…”

Yang Ying looked at Chu Yan with disappointment.

Chu Qing was even more annoyed, “Your so-called warmth, was it buying trending searches and hiring marketing accounts to initiate cyberbullying against your sister?”

Chu Yan paused, her earlier sobs ceasing as she heard Chu Qing’s words, “Dad, what are you saying? I don’t understand.”

Yang Ying looked at Chu Yan with immense disappointment, “How could you not understand? Yanyan, for twenty-five years, your father and I have treated you as our own child.”

“Even after Xinxin came back, we were careful not to make you feel less important and treated you both equally.”

“Even when you broke the bracelet Xinxin gave me, I worried you would feel hurt, still believing that you sincerely didn’t want me to wear a fake bracelet that might harm my health. But this time, you really went too far.”

Yang Ying shook her head, filled with disappointment.

Chu Yan’s hands trembled slightly as she cried out, “Dad, Mom, I know I was wrong. I instigated cyberbullying against sister just to vent the frustration of her pushing me out of the Gu Family.”

“I didn’t intend for the cyberbullying to last long—only until my sister agreed to support the Yuan Family elders, then it would stop.”

Hearing Chu Yan admit everything, Yang Ying grew even angrier, “Chu Yan, you have truly disappointed us.”

“Dad, Mom…”

Chu Yan frantically reached for Yang Ying’s hand.

However, Yang Ying pulled away her hand sharply and said with a stern face, “Chu Yan, ever since you were young, whenever you did something wrong, you would immediately apologize, but you never really felt you were in the wrong.”

“Ever since Xinxin came back, the things you have done to her have become increasingly unacceptable. No wonder she forced us to choose between you two. From now on, don’t even think about returning to live here.”

“Mom!”

Chu Yan truly panicked this time, tears falling as she said, “Is it because I’m not your biological daughter? But you adopted me from the orphanage, and you promised you’d be my parents for life.”

Yang Ying angrily said, “Haven’t I always treated you as my own daughter?”

Chu Yan, crying, said, “Dad, Mom, I know I was wrong. Please don’t send me away. I don’t want to leave. I’ll go to my sister, kneel down, and sincerely apologize to her…”

Eventually, Yang Ying’s compassion prevailed, “If you truly realize your mistake, that’s good, but let’s cancel the marriage with the Bo Family.”

Chu Yan stood frozen, shaking her head. The Chu Family might not be her lifelong support. In this circle, for girls like her without inheritance rights, what ultimately compete are the husband’s family’s power and wealth.

Chu Yan was well aware she was not the Chu Family’s biological child. Just like today, she could be discarded anytime in a choice between two.

Now, Chu Yan could only cling tightly to Bo Fan.

As long as she was to be the future Young Madam of the Bo Family, her mom and dad would still treat her courteously.

Chu Yan, shaking her head, said, “No, Mom, I can’t cancel the engagement with Bo Fan. I want to marry Bo Fan!”

“Yanyan!” Yang Ying said in frustration, “Everyone knows Bo Fan is unfaithful. Do you still want to marry him?”

Chu Yan said, “Mom, you can’t favor Yuan Xi just because she married a countryman and don’t want me to marry someone better than Bo Fan!”

Chu Yan felt disappointed too, as her twenty-six years of affection could not match the urgency of blood relations.

Yang Ying said, “Am I favoring her? Chu Yan, we’ve done all we could for you. You’re already twenty-six, well past the age needing our support.”

“If you insist on marrying Bo Fan and continuing with the marriage arrangement, then don’t bother coming back home.”

“The car, the property, luxury items we previously bought for you will still be yours. Additionally, we’ll give you twenty million as dowry, considering it a settlement between mother and daughter.”

In desperation, Chu Yan looked toward Chu Qing, “Dad…”

Chu Qing said, “Chu Yan, your mother is right.”

Chu Yan clenched her fists and stood up, “Dad, Mom, I’m sorry, but I still want to marry Bo Fan.”

She didn’t care if she had to be expelled from the Chu Family, as long as she could marry Bo Fan.

She would still be the Young Madam of the Bo Family, and the Chu Family surely wouldn’t abandon her as their daughter.

Bo Fan was the best option currently, and Chu Yan didn’t want to end up like Yuan Xi, with a husband who was utterly insignificant in Jiang City.

Yang Ying was absolutely furious, “Go then! From now on, you, Chu Yan, are no longer a daughter of the Chu Family!”

Chu Yan left the Chu mansion without any attachments, determined that once she married Bo Fan, she would make the Chu Family regret favoring Yuan Xi.

With Bo Fan and Hengfan’s enterprises thriving, Chu Yan was not afraid of being unable to return to the Chu Family.

As the Young Madam of the Bo Family, her status in Jiang City still allowed her to hold her head high.

And Yuan Xi’s husband, even if he worked for eight hundred years, would never match up to Bo Fan.

Yang Ying watched Chu Yan’s retreating figure and deeply sighed to Chu Qing, “How did Yanyan become like this? Perhaps it’s our fault for being too busy and not raising her properly.” @@novelbin@@

Chu Qing comforted Yang Ying by patting her shoulder, “We’ve been good enough to Yanyan, don’t blame yourself. We’ve fulfilled our duty in raising her. From now on, Chu Yan has nothing to do with us.”

Yang Ying then made a video call to Yuan Xi, which to their surprise went through.

However, it was Xiao Shihuo who answered, “Hello.”

Yuan Xi walked up and took the phone from Xiao Shihuo’s hands, “Mom, I really can’t come back for the Dragon Boat Festival.”

Yang Ying said, “I called to say I’m sorry.

Sorry, ever since you came back, we’ve been shielding Yanyan, causing you distress.

Chu Yan has left the Chu Family and is no longer a daughter of the Chu Family. When you come back, stay with us for a while.”

“We’ll talk then.”

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xi was very curious about how Chu Yan could be so willing to leave the Chu Family so readily.
