Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Sending to the Orphanage

Yuan Xi returned to Jiang City, very exhausted, but still managed to take a shower.

She slept until six o’clock when she woke up, vaguely dreaming of her parents and Uncle Liang.

Yuan Xi felt movement on her face and when she woke up, she found Huo Shiyuan wiping her tears. Yuan Xi hugged Huo Shiyuan tightly and cried in his arms.

Huo Shiyuan rubbed Yuan Xi’s head to comfort her.

After crying for a few minutes, Yuan Xi half-awoke and said, “I’ll get up first, you can sleep a bit longer.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “No problem, I’ll get up too.”

After Yuan Xi freshened up, she went to see Lele and Anan, the two little ones who had woken up early and were very happy to see Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi, looking at Lele’s smile, also smiled.

Holding Lele, Yuan Xi went downstairs for breakfast and checked her phone. She saw a bunch of messages from Liang Suisui and immediately started reading them.

Liang Suisui had not slept all night. She had sent screenshots of Gao Yang interviewing Mi Yi’s grandparents.

Yuan Xi clicked on the trending search, “should one forgive a family for not selling their house to support studying abroad” had risen to the top of the hot search list.

Yuan Xi knew that there had been a teaser two days ago about exposing a female gaming mogul’s lack of filial piety and had guessed it was about Mi Yi, but she didn’t expect Gao Yang to be the one conducting the interview.

Gao Yang knew how to generate traffic. His angle was whether poor families should have children and whether a family that doesn’t support studying abroad deserves forgiveness.

Gao Yang had probably visited Mi Yi’s mansion in City A and had compared Mi Yi’s two billion yuan mansion there to her family’s ten-square-meter dilapidated old house.

Suddenly, a fierce battle erupted online. On one hand, people criticized Mi Yi for being ungrateful, as her family had taken care of her from child to adult, refusing to sell their house to fund her studies abroad, yet she severed ties with them after becoming successful.

On the other hand, many criticized poor people for having children, sympathizing deeply with Mi Yi, who was a promising individual that her family refused to invest in. They believed Mi Yi was right to escape her original family.

As it wasn’t explicitly an act of ingratitude, the controversial topic instantly exploded online, drawing many silent netizens to comment and explain their views, leading to intense arguments.

Amidst diverse opinions, Gao Yang gained five hundred thousand followers from this interview.

Huo Shiyuan came over to Yuan Xi, watching her phone and said, “Mi Yi really shot herself in the foot this time. Gao Yang’s interview tone clearly sides with her parents, his next interview will probably ruin Mi Yi’s reputation.”

“Really? Mi Yi said Gao Yang’s own family background was poor too, which is why she and Gao Yang are closer.”

Yuan Xi thought carefully; her first significant conflict with Mi Yi was because of Gao Yang.

Huo Shiyuan said, “In the eyes of those who truly come from poor families, Mi Yi complaining about her background is just whining.”

Yuan Xi said, “For the sake of traffic, Gao Yang really is relentless, using even Mi Yi who has helped him.”

During lunch, Yuan Xi saw the interview video Gao Yang released. Compared to the initial contentious video, this second interview was full of compassion for Mi Yi. In the ten-square-meter house, Mi Yi had her own loft to sleep in.

From childhood, her family had taken Mi Yi on trips abroad and enrolled her in various hobby classes, and yet Mi Yi denied them all because they wouldn’t fund her studies abroad.

Instantly, the netizens who empathized with Mi Yi were disillusioned.

“I am the clown, I thought Mi Yi’s family background was poor. What does it mean to travel abroad at seven? At 27, I haven’t even left the country.”

“Swim, little fish, swim, so she had already traveled to Tokyo when she was seven!”

Yuan Xi, seeing the mockery in the comments towards Mi Yi, sighed lightly. Just then, she received a call from an unknown number. After answering, she heard Mi Yi’s voice.

“Yuan Xi, it’s you! Did you bribe Gao Yang?”

Listening to Mi Yi’s voice, Yuan Xi responded helplessly, “How could I possibly bribe Gao Yang?”

Mi Yi said, “Are you satisfied now? Do you know what? I’ve been traveling abroad since I was a child, but my parents just lived for the moment and never considered the future. Do you know how frustrated I am? I’ve always had to be the best, and watching them settle for their current lifestyle, how could I not hate them? If they couldn’t provide me with a better life, why did they even bring me into this world?”

Yuan Xi listened to Mi Yi’s outburst, never hanging up the phone. “Mi Yi, every family has its own helplessness. I did not interfere in this matter. You should ask Gao Yang, whom you trust. You see her as someone similar to your unwholesome family, but is it possible that your family is what Gao Yang yearns for the most?”

Yuan Xi’s voice was cold as she said, “How does it feel to be stabbed in the back by a trusted friend?”

Mi Yi replied coldly, “You stole Mi Chen from me. You’ll get your retribution, Yuan Xi!”

Yuan Xi thought of Uncle Liang still in the ICU and said, “Speaking of retribution, yours will come much sooner.”

Mi Yi had already been nailed down for laundering money for Bo Chi. That dirty money had destroyed many families. Although Uncle Liang had his faults, the Bo Family was not without blame.

The storm surrounding Mi Yi lasted several days on the internet before the fervor finally died down.

Yuan Xi had also been busy with Mi Chen’s business affairs until the weekend, when she received notice that Liang Suisui had decided to withdraw life support.

Yuan Xi didn’t plan to bring Lele and An An back to Jiang City this time.

When Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan arrived, they didn’t expect Suisui to have acted so quickly; Uncle Liang was already in the cemetery.

The cemetery was already filled with the sounds of crying.

Liang Suisui seemed to have grown up all at once as she did not cry at all.

After finishing the rituals, Suisui said to Liang Niannian and his mother, “I won’t give you any child support. If you want to sue me for the inheritance, go ahead. All my father left was a huge debt. If you want to inherit it, be my guest.”

Liang Niannian’s mother said, “Suisui, you can’t be so heartless. He’s your biological brother… Your father drove him away. Don’t you have a very rich friend? I know she seems to be the boss of a gaming company. I know you have money. Just give me a little…”

Suisui replied coldly, “I won’t give you anything. He’s not my brother, and I’m ready to face the lawsuit. There’s no money anyway.”

Liang Niannian’s mother, hearing Suisui’s words, twisted Niannian harshly and said, “You, you’ve really doomed me!”

Niannian was forcefully pushed aside.

“I don’t care about the child, care or don’t care!”

Suisui looked at the five-year-old boy and said, “If you don’t care, it’s abandonment. I will send him to the orphanage!”

Suisui’s grandparents intervened, “How can you send him to the orphanage? If you don’t care, we will!”

Suisui looked at her grandparents with a sorrowful expression.

Yuan Xi approached Suisui and supported her as she was about to fall, saying, “Suisui…”

Suisui turned to Yuan Xi and said, “I’m fine. I’ve been mentally prepared for a while now. I actually feel relieved. Since you’re here, take me back to City A. The company is doing well. I took a week off and they’ve kept my position for me. I should go to work on Monday.”

After paying respects at Uncle Liang’s gravesite, Yuan Xi visited her own parents’ graves, then got into the car with Suisui.

Leaning on Yuan Xi’s shoulder, Suisui said, “Xiao Xi, I’m so tired.”

Yuan Xi said, “Take a nap. When you wake up, it’ll be as if nothing happened.”

Suisui said, “I can’t sleep. Remember, you told me last time that internet sensation with the feminine persona was laundering money for the Bo Family’s gambling funds in Southeast Asia? Did my dad gamble because they set him up? My dad deserved punishment, but they are the root cause. I won’t let them get away with it; I want them to confess and face the law!”

Yuan Xi said, “Shiyan found out that the gambling den was indeed Bo Chi’s. We’ve gathered quite a bit of evidence of their money laundering activities within the country. Once Bo Chi comes back to the country, all of them, including Mi Yi, will be apprehended.”

Mi Yi seemed convinced that Gao Yang’s interview with her family was at her behest, constantly posting articles online about ingratitude and stealing the nest over the past few days.

Although Yuan Xi felt it was unnecessary to care about these online pronouncements, she was human too and couldn’t help but be emotionally affected by them.

Suisui said, “How can we get Bo Chi to come back to the country? What if he never comes? Doesn’t that mean we can’t convict them? Seeing Mi Yi constantly laundering money and living a lavish life while my family is destroyed, I just can’t stand it!”
