I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 243 - Children’s Day Gift

Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Children’s Day Gift

Zhong Xiaoyi’s hand paused, and she frowned, “I do have them, and it’s not just Helicobacter pylori, but also Hepatitis B, HPV, HIV.”

Zhong Xiaoyi picked up the wontons and threw them into the nearby trash can, “I won’t bother making wontons for you anymore.”

Gu Hanchen watched as the steaming wontons were thrown into the trash can, his face full of regret, “Zhong Xiaoyi! How can you waste food like this.”

Zhong Xiaoyi carried the bowl to the small kitchen.

Mrs. Zhong heard the commotion and came out to see the wontons in the trash can. She even apologized to Gu Hanchen.

Inside the kitchen, Mrs. Zhong saw Zhong Xiaoyi washing the dishes while crying.

“You can’t treat Mr. Gu this way.”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “He despised me first.”

Mrs. Zhong said, “Cook another bowl for Mr. Gu.”

Zhong Xiaoyi shook her head, “I won’t. Mr. Gu despises me anyway.”

Mrs. Zhong cooked the wontons that Zhong Xiaoyi had wrapped earlier. Her phone rang, “The lady is looking for me. She’s discussing the wedding of Xiao Yun and Gu Nuan with Mrs. Xiao. Please take care of Mr. Gu for me, be a good girl.”

After Mrs. Zhong left, Zhong Xiaoyi still put seaweed and shrimp skins in the bowl, and when the wontons were ready, she took a bowl out.

Zhong Xiaoyi sat down by the window table, savoring the wontons she had made.

The aroma wafted through the air. Lying immobile on the hospital bed, Gu Hanchen looked at Zhong Xiaoyi and said, “I want to eat too!”

Zhong Xiaoyi glanced at the trash can.

Gu Hanchen said, “Hurry up!”

Zhong Xiaoyi kept eating the wontons and took out her phone to order takeout, “I am just Mr. Gu’s personal assistant, not your chef. If you want wontons, I’ll order takeout for you.”

Gu Hanchen said, “Where did such a young girl get such a big temper? Also, you’re letting me eat takeout?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I’ll order from a five-star hotel for you.”

Gu Hanchen frowned, “Can I at least buy this bowl of wontons from you? Name your price!”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I’ve already eaten from this bowl, I have Helicobacter pylori infection, I have Hepatitis B…”

Gu Hanchen interrupted Zhong Xiaoyi, “Stop stalling, name a price, will a hundred yuan suffice?”

Zhong Xiaoyi: “…”

Gu Hanchen said, “Five hundred!”

Zhong Xiaoyi looked at the wontons floating with green onions. She didn’t really like onions, but Gu Hanchen did, and she had gotten used to putting them in… selling them for five hundred seemed worth it.

Gu Hanchen gritted his teeth, “One thousand!”

At the sound of one thousand, Zhong Xiaoyi placed the wontons in front of Gu Hanchen, “Here! Make sure to transfer the money to me.”

Gu Hanchen said, “Feed me.”

Zhong Xiaoyi scooped up a wonton and brought it to Gu Hanchen, only to realize it was the one she had just bitten…

“Mr. Gu, I’ll just make you a new bowl. This is my…”

Before Zhong Xiaoyi could finish her sentence, Gu Hanchen had already eaten the wonton from the spoon she handed over.

“It’s been bitten.

Gu Hanchen said, “Why should we keep scores between us?”

Zhong Xiaoyi snorted. It was Gu Hanchen who had just then asked her about Helicobacter pylori.

Now he was saying why keep scores.

Gu Hanchen looked at Zhong Xiaoyi’s profile, “You’ve grown more disobedient as you got older. When you were little, you used to obediently call me ‘Brother Hanchen’ all the time. Now, you even dare to throw bowls.”

“Where did I throw bowls?” Zhong Xiaoyi was quite indignant.

Gu Hanchen pointed to the wontons in the trash can, “What’s the difference between throwing away food and throwing bowls? Haven’t you learned the lesson about the value of food on the plate since you were little?”

Zhong Xiaoyi pursed her lips, not bothering to retort.

Gu Hanchen blissfully enjoyed the wontons that Zhong Xiaoyi handed to him.

After returning from Jiangcheng Church, Yuan Xi plunged back into her hectic schedule.

The endorsement contract for Forest Pursuit was about to expire. Yuan Xi received news from Qin Yue’s side that the originally endorsed actress had started dating a male actor with a particularly bad reputation in the industry.

The romance itself wasn’t the issue, but it was complicated by the fact that the male actor had a girlfriend of five years and seamlessly moved on without any break.

Fang Qin and the head of the public relations department had spoken to this actress’s agent. Since the actress chose not to break up, there was no need for Forest Pursuit to renew the contract.

Both the publicity and public relations departments decided to terminate the endorsement contract ahead of schedule.

To avoid any scandal that could affect Forest Pursuit.

Finding a new ambassador for Forest Pursuit now posed a problem.

Yuan Xi, at Yunsen Court, spent time with her two children, who, at nearly five months old, were growing cuter by the day and responded when called, were almost impossible to put down once held.

The phone rang, and Yuan Xi answered, “Mr. Gu, what’s the matter?”

“Sign Yan Ke as the new brand ambassador for Forest Pursuit,” Gu Hanchen said.

Yan Ke… Yuan Xi found the name familiar and, after hanging up, had Tao Wen gather information about Yan Ke.

Yan Ke was the heiress to a real estate company in Jiang City, twenty-two years old, a recent graduate from Imperial Capital Art University, who debuted in a big way last summer vacation through a talent show competition, essentially becoming a top icon.

Yan Ke recently starred in an idol drama where her performance as a wealthy young lady was called a true-to-life portrayal. The role had been so popular that during its peak, some suggested she should have played the leading lady.

Her fans’ favorite saying was that entering the entertainment industry was just a fun venture for her, and if it didn’t work out, she could always return to inherit the family’s billion-dollar business.

Yan Ke had the popularity, minimal scandals, and plenty of her own capital, which made her a very suitable choice for Mi Chen.

More importantly, this was decided by Gu Hanchen, and Yuan Xi had no intention of refusing.

Huo Shiyuan approached Yuan Xi, “Xiao Yun and Gu Nuan have set their wedding date for June 1st, which coincidentally is Yingying’s birthday.”

“So soon?” Yuan Xi said, “But surely Gu Hanchen can’t even walk yet, can he?”

“Given the Xiao Family’s unique status, the wedding won’t be very grand. Holding it on June 1st is fine,” Huo Shiyuan replied.

Yuan Xi thought it made sense. Considering the Xiao Family’s profession, they wouldn’t want a lavish ceremony but would only invite the closest friends and family.

Huo Shiyuan looked at Lele in Yuan Xi’s arms, reaching out to touch his little hand, “It’s Lele and An An’s first Children’s Day, but sadly we can’t celebrate with them because we’ll be attending the wedding.”

Yuan Xi chuckled softly, “They are still infants, not exactly children yet. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming up soon anyway. We can take Lele and An An back to Jiang City to play and make up for their first Children’s Day.”

Huo Shiyuan chuckled softly, “Sounds good.”

On Children’s Day.

Gu Hanchen browsed his social feed, mostly filled with news of his sister’s wedding, even Chu Lin, who rarely posted anything, shared a video from Gu Nuan’s wedding.

Although Gu Nuan’s wedding was not lavish, it was lively.

Gu Hanchen wished he could leave his sickbed immediately to attend the wedding.

Zhong Xiaoyi heard a knock at the door and went to open it, seeing a courier whom she signed for and took the large package inside, “Mr. Gu, is this your package? It’s huge.”

“It’s a Children’s Day gift for you,” Gu Hanchen said.

“For me?”

Zhong Xiaoyi was momentarily stunned. Gu Hanchen had actually bought her a Children’s Day gift?

The door to the sickroom was knocked again, and when Zhong Xiaoyi opened it, in came Liang Suisui.

“Congratulations! I heard your sister is getting married today. I saw Chu Lin’s post on his social feed, your sister looked beautiful today,” Liang Suisui said.

“They all went to attend my sister’s wedding, leaving just you to keep me company,” Gu Hanchen said. “Liang Suisui, honestly, will you be my girlfriend?”
