I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 132 - : King Tianliang’s Defeat
Chapter 132: Chapter 132: King Tianliang’s Defeat
On the cruise ship, the cake was brought out and everyone gathered around Chu Lin and the birthday cake, coaxing Chu Lin to make a wish as candles flickered atop the multi-layered cake.
“Make a wish, make a wish! Mr. Chu, make a wish!”
Chu Lin closed his eyes, making a heartfelt wish.
Gu Hanchen joked from the side, “Don’t forget to wish for your good brother here to recover soon!”
Chu Lin blew out the candles.
Gu Hanchen looked at Chu Lin, “Did you make a wish for me to recover soon?”
...
Chu Lin’s gaze searched through the crowd and he asked Gu Hanchen, “Where’s Suisui?”
“How would I know where Liang Suisui is?”
Chu Lin’s phone rang; it was Yang Ying calling, but he did not answer.
Chu Lin then wandered around the cruise ship looking for Liang Suisui. After a while, he tried calling Liang Suisui, but no one answered the phone.
In one of the restrooms below the cruise ship.
Zhong Xiaoyi was dampening a soft towel to wipe the red wine stains from Liang Suisui’s face and clothes.
Liang Suisui said, “I fear the wine stains won’t come out, but luckily this dress wasn’t expensive. Thank you for helping me clean it today. I really didn’t expect these children of billionaires from Jiang City to do such things.”
Zhong Xiaoyi looked up at Liang Suisui and said, “Nowadays, many people think that these young masters and misses from the wealthy circle, who have been broadening their horizons and learning knowledge and etiquette since childhood, wouldn’t bully the poor out of a disdain for poverty, but that’s just the common folks’ best filter for wealth. There are quite a few unkind wealthy people in Jiang City.”
Liang Suisui said, “Thank you.”
Zhong Xiaoyi took makeup out of her purse, “If you don’t mind, you can use my makeup to touch up.”
After receiving a call from Yuan Xi, Liang Suisui learned that Yuan Xi was already on her way. She said, “Don’t trouble yourself anymore, you’re pregnant. Don’t rush over, and don’t get mad on my behalf.”
Yuan Xi’s voice came through the phone, “I’m already in the car, I’ll be there soon.”
By this time, there were few cars on the elevated roads, and all that could be seen were sparse streetlights.
When Yuan Xi arrived at the riverside pier, she saw the cruise ship moving through River Center.
After removing Chu Lin’s number from the blacklist, Yuan Xi called Chu Lin, “Have the cruise ship dock at Binjiang Pier.”
Chu Lin listened to Yuan Xi’s instructions, furrowed his brow, but still instructed the cruise ship to head to shore.
After the cruise ship arrived at the pier, Yuan Xi boarded the ship.
On the deck, Chu Yan was relishing the compliments from the ladies around her about her dress and jewelry, enjoying their flattering faces as they added her on WeChat.
“Why has the cruise ship stopped near the bank?”
A few people on the deck asked.
“The vehicles on the pier over there have their lights on! Is some important guest coming aboard?”
Yu Xiaoxiao complimented Chu Yan, “Who could be more important than Chu Yan?”
As soon as Yuan Xi boarded, Chu Lin came over to greet Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan, “Didn’t expect you two to come over, welcome, welcome.”
Yuan Xi showed Chu Lin a video on her phone, “You invited Suisui to your birthday banquet, and this is how you treat your guests? Who are these ladies who splashed wine on Suisui and insulted her?”
Since meeting Yuan Xi, it was the first time Chu Lin had seen such an angry expression on Yuan Xi’s face.

Chu Lin watched the video, clearly annoyed. “I didn’t know Suisui was being treated like this. I really didn’t know. If I had, I definitely wouldn’t have let them bully Suisui like this!”
Gu Hanchen wheeled himself over, “Zhong Xiaoyi has disappeared too, Yuan Xi? You’re here as well.”
Yuan Xi looked at Gu Hanchen and said, “Mr. Gu, Suisui is my good friend, and you know her too. How could you allow Suisui to be bullied while you’re around?”
It was the first time Gu Hanchen had seen Yuan Xi so angry. “What’s the matter?”
Yuan Xi showed Gu Hanchen the video sent by Zhong Xiaoyi. “Who are these rich girls bullying Suisui?”
As Gu Hanchen watched, he frowned more and more. “This one is the daughter of Mr. Huang from Gujian Wine Industry, this is the second daughter from Tongyan Beauty Industry, and this one is the youngest daughter from Hualu Food. I’m going to call their parents right now and ask them what kind of daughters they are raising. Calm down, don’t get worked up, it’s not good for the baby in your belly.”
Huo Shiyuan said to Gu Hanchen, “There’s no need to ask how they raised their daughters.”
A chill flashed in Huo Shiyuan’s eyes, which Gu Hanchen noticed. “President Huo, are you thinking of achieving their downfall?”
Huo Shiyuan didn’t understand what Gu Hanchen meant. “What does that mean?”
Gu Hanchen explained, “The weather’s getting cold, and it’s time for the Wang family to go bankrupt. You’re not thinking of bankrupting all their families, are you?”
Huo Shiyuan replied, “Why not? Those in the video not only humiliated Suisui, but also verbally insulted Yuan Xi.”
Moreover, Huo Shiyuan knew what the friendship between Yuan Xi, Liang Suisui, and Chen Yuan meant to Yuan Xi. They had known each other for twenty-five years, friends since they were infants.
If Yuan Xi herself had been insulted today, she might not have been so angry.
This was a grievance that Huo Shiyuan had to help Yuan Xi address.
“Xiao Xi, didn’t I tell you not to come?”
Liang Suisui received Yuan Xi’s message and walked over to her side. “You with your big belly have to come over, it’s really… I wouldn’t have come here to hang out had I known; it’s too much trouble for you.”
Yuan Xi looked at the wine stain on Liang Suisui’s clothes and said, “It should be me who’s causing trouble. They’re bothering you because of me.”
Chu Lin looked at Liang Suisui with eyes full of regret and pain: “Suisui.”
Liang Suisui said, “Xiao Xi, let’s go.”
Yuan Xi held Liang Suisui’s hand to leave the pier when she heard Chu Lin say, “Suisui, wait, I have something to say to you.”
Chu Lin looked at Yuan Xi, “Let me speak to Suisui alone.”
Liang Suisui replied, “There’s nothing to talk about alone here. There are no outsiders here; Yuan Xi and President Huo are my childhood playmates, and Mr. Gu is one of us. Whatever you have to say, say it quickly. It’s already late, and Xiao Xi needs to rest well, being pregnant and all.”
Chu Lin said, “My only birthday wish today was to get a girlfriend. Can you help me with that?”
Liang Suisui looked at Chu Lin calmly, “Sorry, I don’t date idiots.”
Chu Lin frowned deeply, while Gu Hanchen couldn’t help but snicker at the side.
Liang Suisui tightened her grip on Yuan Xi’s hand. “Let’s go.”
Yuan Xi nodded and they went to the car. Huo Shiyuan took the passenger seat, giving the back seats to Yuan Xi and Liang Suisui.
Once in the car, Liang Suisui complained about the rich girls: “I thought this kind of bullying was something you only see among middle-school brats. High schoolers doing this stuff seem childish. I won’t attend these kinds of events anymore.”
Yuan Xi looked at Liang Suisui and said, “Those who bullied you today will pay the price they deserve.”
Liang Suisui replied, “Forget about it, just consider it a dog bite. I won’t have any dealings with them anymore.”
Yuan Xi persisted, “It can’t be forgotten. By the way, when did you and Chu Lin get to this stage? Almost confirming a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?”
Liang Suisui responded, “I don’t know either. He’s been asking me to hang out lately, and I’ve been going along with it in the hopes of getting back at him somehow. I had no idea he would confess to me.”
