I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 31 - Yanyan, Apologize to Yuan Xi
Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Yanyan, Apologize to Yuan Xi
Yuan Xi heard Chu Yan’s defense and smiled faintly, “The gown on Suisui is indistinguishable from yours in both fabric and stitch craftsmanship, even the lace and beading. How did you come to know that my and her dresses are knockoffs? You’ve worn couture gowns, haven’t you? Hundreds, if not thousands. Can’t you even tell the difference between a counterfeit and the real deal?”
Chu Yan said, “Impossible, there is generally only one customer per country for this haute couture dress. When I ordered it, there was only one person in the country who had done the same, Miss Fu Qin from the Fu Family in A City. How could you possibly know Fu Qin?”
Liang Suisui said, “Why couldn’t we know Fu Qin? She’s a fashion designer who can’t easily customize fabric at big textile mills. Opening her own would have been a hassle to manage, so she found us and partnered with our family’s textile mill. Both Xiao Xi and my gowns are from Fu Qin’s private collection, which she lent to us. Now that you’ve ruined my gown, pay up!”
Chu Yan looked at Liang Suisui with disbelief, “It’s impossible, you couldn’t possibly know Fu Qin!”
“Do I need to call her to come over?” Liang Suisui raised her cell phone and asked.
Chu Yan’s face turned rather ugly.
Gu Hanchen said, “Go on, call her over. I heard she grew up with Huo Shiyuan as childhood sweethearts…”
Huo Shiyuan glared at Gu Hanchen, who enjoyed stirring up trouble.
Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan, the six degrees of separation really did exist. Who would have thought that the designer Liang Suisui knew was Huo Shiyuan’s childhood sweetheart?
Chu Lin said, “There’s no need to trouble the daughter of the Fu Family to come here, Yanyan, quickly apologize to Yuan Xi and her friends.”
Chu Yan, feeling everyone’s gazes on her, felt as if they were filled with mockery.
Chu Yan looked at Yang Ying, seeing an unusual disappointment in her gaze, and apologized continuously.
“I’m sorry, sis, and your friends, I, I, I didn’t realize you knew Fu Qin and thought you were wearing knockoffs. I meant well reminding you, see how my good intentions led to trouble. I’m sorry, I’ll compensate for the gown.”
“I will personally go and apologize to Miss Fu, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. Sis, can you forgive me?”
Yuan Xi scoffed. Chu Yan always apologized quickly, but there was little sincerity in those apologies.
“Xinxin, since Yanyan has apologized, forgive her this time.”
After saying that, Yang Ying approached Yuan Xi and whispered, “Xinxin, mom knows you’ve been wronged today, but Yanyan really had no ill intentions. Consider the bigger picture, the Bo Family is here, give them some face.”
Chu Yan bowed and said, “I’m sorry, sis, sorry, I shouldn’t have said you were wearing fakes. I really did mean to remind you properly… Bo Fan, you believe me, right? I really didn’t mean to insult sis intentionally, I was truly trying to help.”
Bao Yan came over and said, “Yanyan, don’t worry, we’ve known each other since we were young, we trust your character. Bo Fan, you agree, right?”
Bao Yan glared at Bo Fan, who was aware of the crisis facing the Bo Family at the moment. If they couldn’t get through it, Chu Yan would be their lifeline.
Bo Fan took Chu Yan’s hand and said, “I believe you, but you were indeed wrong today. Apologize properly.”
Chu Yan said again, “I’m sorry.”
Gu Hanchen coughed and said, “If apologies were effective, what would be the need for police?”
Hearing Gu Hanchen’s words, Liang Suisui laughed, “Forget it, Xiao Xi is magnanimous and won’t hold grudges against anyone.”
Yuan Xi eventually considered the intricate relationships within the circle and did not pursue justice further.
After the crowd dispersed, Yang Ying said to Yuan Xi, “Xinxin, I will have a good talk with your sister. You indeed suffered an injustice today. Let your friend change their clothes in the guest room, I’ve already had someone rush to buy a new outfit. Xinxin, your dad and I still have to entertain our guests, you…”
Yuan Xi said, “It’s okay, mom, you go entertain the guests.”
Yang Ying looked worriedly at Yuan Xi and then went to greet the guests.
Liang Suisui wrapped herself in a jacket and returned it to Gu Hanchen, “Thank you, I’m going to change my clothes.”
Gu Hanchen took it and said, “No need to thank me, I’m just playing the good guy to the end today, what a good feeling.”
Yuan Xi looked at Gu Hanchen and said, “Being hit and then taking someone to the hospital doesn’t seem like you.”
Gu Hanchen said, “I’ve just thought of a great publicity strategy for Mi Chen. Just wait until tomorrow when the news breaks about President Mi Chen’s good Samaritan act of taking the woman who caused the accident to the hospital. It’s definitely going to attract a lot of praise for Mi Chen, and I bet people can’t wait to buy Mi Chen’s stocks.”
Yuan Xi frowned slightly. Something about what Gu Hanchen said didn’t seem right to her, but she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
Yuan Xi asked Gu Hanchen in a soft voice, “Is it true what you said about Fu Qin being Huo Shiyuan’s childhood friend?”
“It couldn’t be truer. The Huo and Fu families are neighbors.”
Yuan Xi let out a soft “oh,” contemplating whether the photo of the little girl beside the bed was indeed Fu Qin.
Yu Xiaoxiao approached Gu Hanchen and asked, “Brother Hanchen, what’s your relationship with Liang Suisui?”
Gu Hanchen smiled, “Relationship? Nothing has happened yet, but who knows, it might happen soon.”
Yu Xiaoxiao bit her lip and ran off, her eyes brimming with tears.
Yuan Xi glared at Gu Hanchen, “Please refrain from speaking disrespectfully about my friend in the future, Mr. Gu.”
Gu Hanchen replied, “Would Yu Xiaoxiao have left if I hadn’t said that?”

Liang Suisui came back in a new outfit and said, annoyed, “I don’t even know how to explain to Fu Qin after dirtying her dress. She told me to take good care of it, and now I’m too ashamed to face her.”
Huo Shiyuan said beside Yuan Xi, “You don’t have to worry about dirtying Fu Qin’s dress; I’ll explain it to her. She’s always been generous and won’t mind.”
Yuan Xi gently bit her lip, “Thank you for helping Suisui explain.”
Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi and gave a gentle smile.
Gu Hanchen stood up and said, “I’m going to grab something to eat. Doing good deeds has starved me. Suisui, right? Let’s go eat together.”
Liang Suisui was indeed hungry and followed Gu Hanchen to the dessert table.
From behind the dessert table’s display board came the voices of several heiresses.
“Yanyan, we know you meant well, don’t be upset. It’s only because Fu Qin pitied them that she lent them the dress. It’s just a dress, no need to be angry about it and harm your health.”
“Borrowed items are never truly theirs. They just borrowed those designer dresses for a single occasion. Unlike you, Yanyan, even if you dirty a dress, requesting another designer piece is just a matter of words. Yuan Xi wouldn’t even dare to dream of such a thing. Would her rural husband ever allow her to spend a million on a single piece of clothing?”
“Indeed, Miss Chu, in not-too-distant future, you’ll be the Young Lady of the Bo Family. Yuan Xi married nothing more than a rural man. Your lives are worlds apart; there’s no need for you to be upset or compare yourself with her.”
“That’s right, Yanyan. Look at you, about to marry Bo Fan—that’s Bo Fan of Jiang City, a man many top female stars dream of marrying—a far cry from some rural resettlement dweller.”
“Even if Yuan Xi truly is the Chu Family’s daughter, after she’s married, her life will still be vastly different from yours. Her husband could never match up to Bo Fan.”
Surrounded by the adulation of other heiresses, Chu Yan smiled, “A woman’s marriage is like reincarnation. My sister indeed has poor taste; I’m actually worried for her. Marrying a construction worker from the countryside, sigh…”
“Yanyan’s heart is truly kind.”
Hearing the flattery from the group of heiresses, Liang Suisui, standing at the dessert table, took a bite of her cake and chuckled lightly. Chu Yan had just been humiliated, yet they were still so eager to fawn over her.
“Gu Han, this must be Miss Liang, right?”
Bo Fan came over and extended his hand to Liang Suisui, “Miss Liang, I’m Bo Fan.”
Liang Suisui couldn’t be bothered to give Bo Fan any respect and rolled her eyes.
Gu Hanchen said to Bo Fan, “Bo Fan, what is it?”
Bo Fan replied, “I’m really sorry about Miss Chu dirtying Miss Liang’s dress. I heard it belonged to Fu Qin, and I’d like to personally visit Miss Fu to apologize. I was hoping Miss Liang could provide me with Miss Fu’s contact information and address?”
Gu Hanchen had already said that Huo Shiyuan and Fu Qin were childhood friends, and Bo Fan figured he might be able to get in touch with Huo Shiyuan through Fu Qin.
