I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 36 - : The Fu Family’s Illegitimate Son

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: The Fu Family’s Illegitimate Son

Michen Building.

Yuan Xi was in the office, showing Monica the ropes of the day-to-day workflows she normally dealt with.

Upon seeing Huo Shiyuan appear at the door, Monica repeatedly called out, “President Huo.”

Yuan Xi looked up and saw Huo Shiyuan at the doorway, dressed in a casual white short-sleeve shirt and light-colored jeans, and she felt as if her surroundings had suddenly brightened.

Huo Shiyuan said with a light laugh, “It’s seven o’clock, time to get off work.”

“The sky is still bright, it’s already seven?” Yuan Xi glanced at the time on the bottom right of her computer, and indeed it was already seven o’clock.

Huo Shiyuan said, “It’s nearly June, so it gets dark late, but you and the baby should have dinner.”

Yuan Xi touched her belly and organized the items in her purse, then said to Monica, “You should get off work too, thank you for your hard work.”

Monica smiled faintly, “It’s not hard.”

After all, she was collecting two salaries, from both Shixi and Michen.

Yuan Xi grabbed her purse and followed Huo Shiyuan down to the parking garage. Seeing Yuan Xi’s bare left wrist, Huo Shiyuan asked, “What kind of watch do you like?”

Yuan Xi replied, “Anything is fine.”

After getting in the car, Huo Shiyuan said to Yuan Xi, “Fu Qin said she wants to meet you. Are you available to dine with her today?”

Yuan Xi pursed her lips; just last night she had stained Fu Qin’s gown. Even though she had compensated for it, she still felt embarrassed, and by all accounts, it was only proper to treat Fu Qin to a meal, “I’m available.”

Huo Shiyuan drove to a private dining restaurant by the river.

While in the car, Yuan Xi felt her phone ringing nonstop. She opened her phone and first clicked into her bestie chat group.

Sui Sui, rich and skinny: @Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi, you’re trending, you’re trending!

Yuanyuan Yuanyuan: The diamond ring that looks like a fake actually worth three hundred million? Oh my God!

Shi Shishitou: @Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi, do you need a bodyguard? I think walking around with three hundred million without hiring three bodyguards is risky. I can be your bodyguard for a monthly salary of half a million.

Yuanyuan Yuanyuan: I’ll take one hundred thousand a month.

Sui Sui, rich and skinny: I’ll take fifty thousand a month, black belt in Taekwondo.

Shi Shishitou: Don’t disrupt the market value, if it’s half a million, then it’s half a million. To protect three small targets, how could it be less than half a million a month?

Yuan Xi looked at their chat messages with a faint smile. She opened the hot search on Weibo and saw Gu Hanchen’s livestream occupying the top spot.

The third one was #MiChenFemaleExecutivesPredominate#, which was obviously a paid hot search from Michen’s PR department.

#MiChenDeputyGM, Charlotte Blue Diamond#

#ThreeHundredMillionDiamondSpotted#

Yuan Xi clicked in and saw that, strictly speaking, it wasn’t her trending, but the blue diamond on the ring finger of her left hand that was in the hot search.

The Charlotte Blue Diamond had previously trended when it was auctioned. After all, spending over three hundred million on a stone is something many would click to see.

Yuan Xi was glad that the internet’s focus was on her blue diamond. Gu Hanchen’s livestream footage was simply beyond words.

“When I saw Yuan Xi pull out a Continental car key, I was envious. Seeing the three hundred million diamond on Yuan Xi’s hand, I don’t want to live anymore.”

“Does Yuan Xi really not need a bodyguard?”

“How much money has Michen made over the years, even the female executives’ cars are not under a million.”

“What does wearing a three hundred million diamond ring on your finger actually feel like?”

The restaurant was not far away, and Yuan Xi had not finished reading the comments when she arrived inside.

Fu Qin was already waiting inside the restaurant. When Yuan Xi entered, she saw that Fu Qin was wearing a modified cheongsam, her hair done up elegantly, portraying the very image of a well-mannered young lady.

Fu Qin glanced at Yuan Xi and said, “Finally, I get to see the living.”

Huo Shiyan frowned and said, “Speak nicely.”

Fu Qin let out a light laugh, then turned to Yuan Xi, “Huo Shiyan has been talking about you all the time.”

Yuan Xi was stunned. Huo Shiyan had been talking about her all the time?

Yuan Xi said, “Miss Fu, I’m truly sorry about the gown yesterday.”

Fu Qin: “It’s okay, it’s okay. Sui Sui has explained it all to me already, I don’t mind. Just custom-make another one; it’s fine. I’ve also heard about your marriage, congratulations, congratulations. You’re pregnant, aren’t you? Grandma Shi has been boasting to my grandmother every day that she’s going to cradle a great-grandchild. She’s so happy.”

Listening to Fu Qin’s words, Yuan Xi glanced at Huo Shiyan again.

Huo Shiyan said, “My grandmother can’t keep a happy event secret. When she found out you were having kids, twins no less, she’s been showing off to her friends all over the world.”

Yuan Xi gently placed her hand on her stomach; she had yet to tell Huo Shiyan whether her two children were healthy…

After all, they had indeed drunk quite a bit that night…

Yuan Xi was afraid that the elder’s expectations might be dashed.

…

In another private room of the restaurant.

Chu Yan, with a smile brimming on her face, watched Bo Fan and Fu Yi chat about everything under the sun, with Bo Fan not immediately pushing for an investment.

Listening to Fu Yi speak at length, Chu Yan held her hand tightly; indeed, he was Huo Shiyan.

Chu Yan’s phone kept chiming with notifications. Opening it, she saw that many people had sent her news about Yuan Xi trending online.

She had thought it would be the news that Yuan Xi was the real daughter of a conglomerate that was trending but turned out it was the story about Yuan Xi’s fake diamond that had gone viral.

Rising to her feet, Chu Yan said, “I’ll go to the restroom.”

Just as Chu Yan reached the restroom, she saw Yuan Xi washing her hands by the sink, the blue diamond ring on her ring finger still dazzling.

“Sister, you should hurry up and take off and throw away that blue diamond. Initially, it was just embarrassing within Jiang City, but now you’ve embarrassed yourself nationwide!”

“After trending online, even the true owner of the Charlotte Blue Diamond will know about it. You, as the daughter of the Chu Family, wearing a fake blue diamond—where will you leave mom and dad’s faces?”

Yuan Xi looked at Chu Yan beside her, “Didn’t you learn your lesson at all from yesterday?”

Chu Yan, reminded of how confident she had been yesterday in claiming their gowns were knock-offs, got even more irritated, “You could’ve said your gowns weren’t knock-offs all along. You had access to the gown, but could you also rent a Charlotte Blue Diamond worth over three hundred million?”

Chu Yan, looking at the blue diamond on Yuan Xi’s finger said, “I advise you to quickly post a Weibo to explain, admit that your blue diamond is fake and that you wore it for fun. In case the true owner of the blue diamond comes forward and says your diamond is fake, Mi Chen, having just quieted down from public opinion, will be badmouthed by netizens again…”

Yuan Xi flicked the water droplets off her hands, “You need not concern yourself with Mi Chen or me. There’s no need for me to explain anything on Weibo.”

Chu Yan frowned and said, “Yuan Xi, a fake is a fake. Even if netizens praise you now, even if they envy you for wearing a three-hundred-million diamond ring, everything you’re getting is fake.

You may embarrass yourself all you wish, but at the return banquet yesterday, you have already made your appearance. Everyone of significance in Jiang City knows you’re the daughter of the Chu Family. If you get exposed by the real owner of the Charlotte Blue Diamond that yours is fake, the Chu Family will be humiliated alongside you!”

Yuan Xi ignored Chu Yan and went back to the private room.

Inside, Fu Qin’s voice was heard:

“That bastard child shouldn’t even dream of coming back. Whether the bastard child is a boy or girl, whether dead or alive, whether they were even born, we don’t know. Eldest brother is now in a vegetative state, but it’s not certain he won’t wake up. Even Uncle Fu is so eager to find that bastard child, who might not even have been born…”

Huo Shiyan spoke in a low voice, “Uncle Fu wishes to groom his own flesh and blood to take over the Fu Family business. You have no desire to inherit the Fu Family legacy, and elder brother’s condition shows no signs of improvement. Besides that child, who else would take over the Fu Family business?”

Fu Qin spat, “What kind of flesh and blood is that? His mother was aiming to gain status through her son, hoping the mistress could replace the wife. I believe my brother will recover, will wake up. That bastard child shouldn’t even dream of coming back to inherit the Fu Family fortune.”
