I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 43 - : Let’s just treat each other as distant relatives from now on.

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Let’s just treat each other as distant relatives from now on.

Chu Lin dialed Yuan Xi’s number, and a mechanical female voice came from the phone, “The number you have dialed is switched off.”

“Mom, it’s turned off.”

Yang Ying’s face darkened, “Does she have any other contact methods? Go ask Gu Hanchen. Honestly, today is her first time coming to the Yang Family’s gathering since she returned, and she chose to go to that so-called grandmother’s house in the village. If your grandfather knew about this, he’d probably be so angry he’d get sick! Hurry up and ask Gu Hanchen.”

Chu Lin contacted Gu Hanchen, “Can you get through to Yuan Xi’s phone?”

Gu Hanchen: “Oh, can’t get in touch with your sister? I can’t get through either, she’s switched off her phone. She’s President Yuan now, it seems she has no time for me anymore…”

Chu Lin turned towards Yang Ying, who was clearly annoyed, and asked Gu Hanchen, “Then do you know where her grandmother’s house is?”

Gu Hanchen replied, “How would I know? But I can help you ask her childhood friends, I have their WeChat.”

Old Sir Yang came over and asked Yang Ying, “Xinyan hasn’t come?”

Yang Ying replied, “Dad, it’s my fault. I thought Chu Qing had told Xinxin about coming over to grandfather’s house for a gathering today, and Chu Qing thought I had told her. Neither of us made it clear to her in advance. Xinxin doesn’t know she is supposed to come to the Yang Family gathering. She didn’t show up at noon, so I sent Chu Lin to pick her up this afternoon, so we could all eat together tonight.”

Old Sir Yang was slightly displeased, “You… How could you not even mention such an important affair to Xinyan?”

Yang Ying guiltily said, “It’s my fault.”

After Old Sir Yang went back inside, Yang Ying said to Chu Lin, “Hurry and go find Yuan Xi now, you must bring her to grandfather’s house. Your uncle specifically took the whole day off to come back, she shouldn’t be absent.”

Chu Yan walked over to Yang Ying and wrapped her arm around hers, “Mom, what happened? Hasn’t sister come yet?”

Yang Ying said, “Your sister has something to deal with.”

Chu Yan whispered, “Uncle is such an important and busy person and he came back. Could sister be busier than uncle? Yuan Xi is really taking her time.”

Yang Ying told Chu Lin, “Go quickly.”

…

Lianbu Village.

After lunch, Liang Hao pulled Yuan Xi, wanting to go to Ruohu to catch crayfish for fun, “We’ll catch a bucket of crayfish this afternoon, and tonight I can make you ‘Thirteen-Spice’ crayfish. I cook it really well.”

Yuan Xi smiled, “You can cook too? Impressive.”

Liang Hao said, “Of course, men who can’t cook these days can’t get married. Does Huo Shiyuan cook for you?”

Yuan Xi glanced at Huo Shiyuan and chuckled softly, “He employs a chef, he doesn’t need to cook himself.”

Liang Hao wagged a finger, “NO! Food cooked by a chef is completely different, it doesn’t have any love in it, only food that one cooks themselves contains love.”

Huo Shiyuan cleared his throat lightly, “I’ll try to learn.”

Yuan Xi quickly said, “There’s no need to listen to the nonsense of children.”

Liang Hao said, “I am of age now, not a child. Let’s go, let’s go catch crayfish. I’ll give Suisui a call; if she’s awake, she can come over and catch crayfish too.”

Yuan Xi followed Liang Hao to a small stream by Ruohu. Because it was the weekend, there were also a lot of people bringing their children to catch crayfish.

Yuan Xi looked at Liang Hao, “Are you sure there aren’t more people than crayfish here?”

Liang Hao responded, “Definitely more crayfish. There’s plenty here.”

Yuan Xi, being pregnant, wouldn’t dare eat these wild crayfish, but she had to admit, after staring at the computer for so long, sitting by the lake and catching crayfish had its own charm.

“Pretty auntie, here’s a flower for you.”

A little girl about three or four years old picked a small wildflower from the roadside and brought it over.

Yuan Xi took it and laughed lightly, “Thank you, little one.”

Huo Shiyuan watched the little girl with two braided pigtails, then glanced at the little boy playfully drenched from playing in the water. He, who previously had no special hopes for the gender of the child Yuan Xi was carrying, found himself rather wanting a daughter.

Yuan Xi said, “Little girls are cute and soft. I hope the child is a daughter.”

Huo Shiyuan smiled, “I hope for a daughter too.”

Liang Hao caught quite a few crayfish alone, “Today’s catch is good. Why hasn’t Suisui arrived yet? Didn’t she say she was on her way already?”

On a village road at the border between Huxi Village and Lianbu Village.

Liang Suisui was riding her bicycle when she suddenly couldn’t brake in time, veering directly into a Koenigsegg supercar turning in front of her and fell onto the ground. After she stood up, she frowned:

“Do you even know how to drive? This is a village road, didn’t you see the speed limit sign? Is this your living room? Driving so fast, it’s unbelievable, don’t you know that the right of way is given to vehicles on the main road during a turn?”

Chu Lin looked at his hit car, also frowning, “It was you who suddenly rode out and hit me.”

Liang Suisui said, “Let’s call the police, I don’t want to talk to you.”

After Liang Suisui spoke, she made a call to Liang Hao: “Hurry over to the small supermarket here.”

Liang Suisui also called Chen Yuan, Shi Lei, and everyone in her family.

While Chu Lin was waiting for the traffic police to arrive, he found that the villagers had surrounded them, and after learning that Liang Suisui was the Liang Family’s daughter, they even criticized him in the local dialect.

“These young people from the city really drive recklessly; it’s like this every weekend. Either they park wherever they want or drive however they want.”

“Such a young guy, and doesn’t even know how to drive properly.”

Chu Lin, being from Jiang City, couldn’t speak the local dialect but could understand it, “It was her who suddenly crashed into me!”

Liang Suisui, looking at the Chu Lin in front of her, found him more and more familiar; when Chen Yuan arrived, she said, “Yuan Xi’s brother?”

Liang Suisui looked up at Chu Lin, “He is Yuan Xi’s brother?”

Chen Yuan said, “Yes, that’s Yuan Xi’s brother. You also saw him at Yuan Xi’s return banquet a few days ago, don’t you remember?”

Liang Suisui indeed didn’t remember Chu Lin, she uprighted her bicycle and said, “Forget it, since he is Yuan Xi’s brother, I won’t ask you for compensation. I’ll just consider myself unlucky.”

When Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan arrived, they saw a large crowd surrounded them and spotted the iconic Koenigsegg, indeed Yuan Xi saw Chu Lin.

“Brother.”

Chu Lin looked at Yuan Xi displeasedly and said, “Come on, let’s go to the Yang Family for dinner.”

Yuan Xi bit her lip, Liang Hao approached Chu Lin and said, “I’ve already gotten a bucket of crayfish, my sister is staying with our family for dinner today.”

Chu Lin looked at the crayfish, frowning in disgust, “Yuan Xi, how can you eat such garbage? Today, Uncle has specially taken time out to join the dinner, it is to give you face. You should quickly follow me back to the Yang Family.”

Huo Shiyuan said to Yuan Xi, “Go wherever you like, you don’t need to care what others think.”

Although Yuan Xi was also wary of eating wild crayfish during her pregnancy, she was annoyed by Chu Lin’s blunt calling it garbage, “I’ve been eating such ‘garbage’ for 26 years, and nothing has happened. Today, I will stay at my maternal grandparents’ house here. Maybe next time I’ll visit the Yang Family’s maternal grandparents.”

Chu Lin said, “Yuan Xi, what are they to you, calling them your maternal grandparents? After all, they were accomplices in child trafficking. Our Chu Family is already being lenient by not taking revenge on them. Don’t be so clueless and unable to distinguish right from wrong.”

Yuan Xi said, “I can clearly distinguish between right and wrong, and it’s because of that clarity that I choose to stay here.”

Chu Lin frowned, “Do you know Uncle’s position? To welcome you today, Grandpa has decreed that everyone must be present. And you?”

Yuan Xi had vaguely heard from Gu Hanchen that Uncle Yang was the second-in-command in Jiang City, and Yang Family’s grandpa was also a high-ranking leader before retirement.

Under normal circumstances, Yuan Xi indeed should hurry to ingratiate herself, as after all, Mi Chen’s influence was also in Jiang City.

But…

Yuan Xi looked at Chu Lin: “To welcome me, everyone must be present, but did you inform me in advance that I had to come? Just like my previous return banquet, everything didn’t require my consent.

Why do you assume that I should be at your beck and call? In the end, you clearly look down on me. Would you summon Chu Yan and Bo Fan like this?”

Chu Lin said, “What does this have to do with Chu Yan and Bo Fan? Hurry up and come with me, don’t be so sensitive, and stop making a scene.”

Yuan Xi said, “Mr. Chu, I’m not making a scene. I’m searching for my biological parents because I wanted to know my origins and my real birthday, but I don’t want the pressure from them to control every single move I make. From now on, let’s act like distant relatives, keeping our interactions accordingly…

For personal family gatherings like the one at the Yang Family today, distant relatives don’t need to attend.”

Chu Lin frowned, “Yuan Xi, do you realize how hurtful your words would be to mom and dad? You chose to come here at noon, shopping at the buyer’s, and mom is already quite upset and hurt.

I only forgot to inform you beforehand, and I’ve come personally to fetch you, yet you still feel like it’s an insult. Aren’t you being too self-conscious and over-sensitive?

You really aren’t as straightforward and generous as Yanyan, why are you so touchy and petty?”

Huo Shiyuan put his hand on Yuan Xi’s waist, “Junior President Chu should probably have his eyes checked.”

Liang Suisui: “Not just an eye checkup, he should also go to the Seventh Hospital for a good psychiatric evaluation!”
