I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Announcing Chu Yan is No Longer the Daughter of the Chu Family

Huo Shiyuan watched as Yuan Xi covered her mouth with the back of her hand and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”

Yuan Xi replied softly, “I feel a bit nauseous.”

Huo Shiyuan took off his watch and projected a surveillance video onto the white wall.

On the pristine wall, a video appeared showing Chu Yan and her entourage barging into Chao Qing’s house and slapping her.

Soon, Chao Qing’s voice came from the watch.

“Miss Chu, do you realize you’re trespassing into someone’s house? I could call the police and accuse you of robbery.”

...

A smack was heard again quickly, followed by Chu Yan’s arrogant voice.

“Do you think I’m afraid of you? Don’t you know who my uncle is in Jiang City? I’d like to see to it, with my uncle here, if the police would dare to interfere!”

Huo Shiyuan paused the video and said to Yang Ying, “This is the video Chao Qing sent to Si Chen before going abroad, hoping to use Si Chen to expose it.

Si Chen chose not to make the video public but paid Chao Qing two million to buy the rights to this surveillance footage.

If this video were to leak, it would greatly impact my uncle…”

Chu Lin looked at the pitiful Chu Yan kneeling on the ground and the Chu Yan in the projection – they seemed like two different people.

Chu Lin, utterly disappointed, said to Chu Yan, “Yanyan, how could you dare?”

Yang Ying was nearly exploding with anger. If the Si Family were to expose this video, her brother’s future would be severely affected, and her retired father would also be stained with disgrace.

Yang Ying glared at Chu Yan and demanded, “Get out, Chu Qing, you need to immediately let the company release a statement disowning Chu Yan from the Chu Family, declaring that from now on, Chu Yan is no longer a daughter of the Chu Family! Her actions have nothing to do with the Chu and Yang families.”

Chu Yan was stunned, feeling an icy numbness all over her body.

Chu Yan pleaded in extreme panic, “No, Dad, Mom, please don’t…”

Chu Qing said, “I’ll have someone release the disownment statement right away.”

Yuan Xi said, “Dad, Mom, I think we shouldn’t release the disownment announcement today. Let’s wait until after the wedding tomorrow. Chu Yan has been so eager to marry Bo Fan; just let her marry him.”

If they released the disownment statement today, the Bo Family would surely cancel tomorrow’s wedding…

Gu Hanchen had been looking forward to the lively wedding for days, and Yuan Xi couldn’t let him wait so long only to miss out on the excitement.

Besides, Yuan Xi was quite keen to see the liveliness herself.

Moreover, Bo Fan and Chu Yan were such a good match; it would be a pity if they didn’t marry.

Chu Qing and Yang Ying didn’t understand why Yuan Xi would suggest this, but since it was a rare request from her, they agreed to it.

Yang Ying pointed towards the door and said to Chu Yan, “Get out; you are never to step foot in the Chu Family’s house again.”

Chu Yan, heartbroken and resentful, stood up. Her eyes filled with resentment, “It’s true when they say adopted isn’t the same as biological…”

Chu Qing, even more angered, said, “Chu Yan, this has nothing to do with being biological or not. If today it was Xinxin or Chu Lin misusing the Yang Family’s fame to show off, we would still sever ties with them!”

Chu Yan sneered and responded, “You just say it nicely. One day, I will make you realize how big a mistake you made by kicking me out today!”

After Chu Yan stormed off angrily,

Chu Lin furrowed his brows and asked, “How could she turn out this way?”

Yuan Xi replied, “She’s always been this way; it’s you who’ve been blind.”

Yang Ying looked at Huo Shiyuan and asked, “John, did you say that Si Chen bought this video?”

Huo Shiyuan nodded, “Yes, Si Chen gave me the video. If this video were to be released, Chu Yan would probably not be able to stay in the country anymore, and both Chuneng Group and the Yang Family would face disasters.”

Yang Ying asked, “Why would Si Chen give you this video for free? Did he ask for anything in return?”

Huo Shiyuan replied, “Si Chen wished to give me this video for free, mainly because of Yuan Xi. Without Yuan Xi, Si Chen could easily use the content behind this surveillance video to kick the Bo Family out of the top four families in Jiang City.”

Huo Shiyuan continued playing the video where Chao Qing earnestly persuaded Chu Yan not to marry Bo Fan, describing his heavy gambling losses.

Yet, Chu Yan didn’t trust a word.

Yang Ying sighed deeply, her eyes filled with guilt as she looked at Yuan Xi and said tearfully, “I’m sorry, Xinxin.”

Yuan Xi maintained her professional, calm smile and shook her head, “Mom, I don’t mind.”

Chu Lin also belatedly realized the seriousness of the surveillance footage.

If this matter were to be exposed online, it would be far more serious than Chu Yan and Bao Yan insulting rural people previously.

His judgment had indeed been very poor before.

“Bo Fan’s gambling…” Chu Lin asked, “It can’t be true, can it?”

Chu Lin, Gu Hanchen, and Bo Fan had been good friends since childhood.

Usually, when Chu Lin and Gu Hanchen played cards in Jiangye, Bo Fan would not participate.

Gu Hanchen was bad at playing cards but loved playing, and Bo Fan would mock Gu Hanchen as a scatterbrain, always saying that gambling harms people.

Would he really have lost billions?

Huo Shiyuan said, “It’s true.”

Chu Lin scrutinized Huo Shiyuan, perhaps preconditioned by Chu Yan’s words, always regarding him as a countryside gold-digger entirely dependent on Yuan Xi.

But now, carefully assessing Huo Shiyuan, Chu Lin realized that apart from being better looking than those top male celebrities, there was also an indescribable air of dignity about Yuan Xi’s husband.

Yuan Xi stood up and said, “Dad, Mom, it’s getting late, we should head home.”

Yang Ying said, “It’s so late already, just stay over.”

Yuan Xi shook her head and replied, “No, thank you.”

After leaving the Chu Family, Yuan Xi got into the car and glanced at Huo Shiyuan from the passenger side, “When did you get this surveillance footage?”

Huo Shiyuan replied, “A few days ago.”

Yuan Xi gave a light, gentle laugh, “Thank you, Shiyan.”

Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi sideways, “Just a verbal thank you?”

Yuan Xi asked, “What kind of thank-you gift would you like?”

Huo Shiyuan did not respond.

Yuan Xi thought to herself that Shiyan probably lacked nothing; she also didn’t know what kind of thank-you gift to give him.

So she decided not to dwell on it any longer.

…

June 18th, early in the morning.

All major social media accounts of Fanyan Entertainment began live streaming.

By the time Yuan Xi arrived at Mi Chen Hall, the receptionist, who had come to work early, was watching the live stream of Bo Fan and Chu Yan’s wedding of the century on her phone.

Seeing Yuan Xi, the receptionist swiftly tucked her phone away.

“Good morning, President Yuan.”

Yuan Xi didn’t mind that the receptionist was watching the live stream during work hours.

Mi Chen wasn’t very strict about employees slacking off as long as their work was error-free.

Once in her office, Yuan Xi also opened her phone and watched the live stream from Fanyan Entertainment.

In the live stream, Chu Yan was dressed in a red gown.

“Bo Fan, even Heaven favors us, after so many days of rain, today is finally sunny! The registry office is about to open, we can go and get our marriage certificate.”

Inside the live stream, as Bo Fan, dressed in a tailored suit, appeared onscreen, the screen was flooded with comments.

“So handsome, so handsome, if the CEO of Fanyan Entertainment debuts, other male stars won’t stand a chance in the entertainment industry.”

“They match so well, fairy tales don’t lie; in the end, it’s always the prince and princess who end up together.” @@novelbin@@

“Farmers boycott Fanyan, boycott Chu Yan, boycott Bao Yan.”

“Fanyan is too stingy, aren’t they? The CEO and CEO’s wife are getting married today, and they’re not doing a giveaway to share their happiness? The guy next door selling tissues gives away a phone every three minutes!”

Seeing this comment, Chu Yan said, “This netizen is right. To celebrate our marriage, we’ll do a phone giveaway every three minutes in the live stream today.”

Bo Fan subtly furrowed his brows undetectably.

In the next instant, Bo Fan affectionately teased Chu Yan’s nose, “Alright, let’s do as the CEO’s wife wishes and give away phones to share the joy.”
