I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 44 - I’m Going to the Yang Family with You

Chapter 44: Chapter 44 I’m Going to the Yang Family with You

Yuan Xi sneered, “I might not be as open-handed or sweet-tongued as Chu Yan, I’m just sensitive and petty. Mr. Chu can just treat Chu Yan as his real sister from now on.”

Liang Hao said, “Sis, don’t bother with him, where did he escape from, a mental hospital?”

Chu Lin’s brows were tightly furrowed.

When the traffic police arrived, they took photos of the accident scene, “The car making a right turn failed to observe properly, and the bicycle was going against traffic. The car has the primary responsibility, and the bicycle has secondary responsibility.”

Liang Suisui argued, “Where is there any wrong-way traffic on this little village road?”

“Even on the smallest village road, you need to stick to the right side. Plus, when you’re entering from a side road onto a main road, you need to check. The right-turning car had almost completed the turn. If you had stayed on the right, you wouldn’t have collided. You have to bear secondary responsibility.”

Chu Lin glanced at Yuan Xi and said to Liang Suisui, “I’ll accept full responsibility. She can’t afford to pay for my car anyway.”

Liang Suisui retorted, “Who are you insulting? It’s just a lousy supercar, who can’t afford your car?”

Shi Lei whispered into Liang Suisui’s ear, ” That Koenigsegg car of his probably costs over 20 million. The whole car is made of carbon fiber material. Even if your bike’s scrape isn’t serious, repair costs would be about a million. If you’re bearing secondary to ternary responsibility, you’d have to pay at least 300,000.”

Liang Suisui didn’t argue any further. If Chu Lin chose to take full responsibility, then so be it.

As both parties had reached a mutual agreement and no one was seriously injured, the traffic police didn’t tow away any vehicles.

Chu Lin and Liang Suisui signed the traffic police’s accident report.

After the traffic police left, Chu Lin turned to Yuan Xi, “Come back to Yang Family’s place with me. Your Uncle Yang couldn’t make it to the welcome back banquet because of work, and you haven’t met your uncle and grandfather yet.”

Yuan Xi said, “I’m sensitive, I’m petty.”

Chu Lin: “…”

Liang Hao said, “Sis, let’s not bother with him anymore. Let’s go home. The sun is scorching, let’s go home and eat some watermelon!”

Chu Lin spoke up, “Yuan Xi, this kid is studying at Jiangcheng Ren’an Middle School, right? And his mother works as a gas station attendant at Chu Neng’s service station, right? His father is a sales team leader at one of Chu Neng’s sales companies, right?”

Yuan Xi frowned at Chu Lin, “Chu Lin, are you threatening me?”

Chu Lin leaned against the car and said, “It’s not a threat. The principal at Ren’an Middle School is one of grandfather’s good friends. As for the ground-level employees at Chu Neng, I have the right to lay them off.”

Liang Hao said annoyed, “I’m about to take my college entrance exams anyway. Even if you know our principal, you can’t threaten me.”

Chu Lin said, “You know you’re about to take your exams. Your aunt may have passed away, but your grandparents and parents were involved in abducting Yuan Xi too. Your whole family knew about it and should bear some responsibility. Chu Neng’s lawyers are not to be trifled with. I heard you want to go to A City University of Political Science and Law. If your grandparents have a criminal record, you might graduate only to be unemployed.”

Huo Shiyuan frowned and said, “Junior President Chu, your tactics are rather shameless.”

Liang Hao said, “I’ll just go deliver food; you’ll not intimidate my sister!”

Yuan Xi bit her lip and said, “I’ll go to the Yang Family with you, but you have to promise not to harm my grandparents’ family!”

Chu Lin said, “If you’re willing to go to the Yang Family, I won’t harm them.”

Yuan Xi turned to the visibly upset Liang Hao, “Don’t be angry. I’ll go home with you first to say goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma. Right now, the most important thing for you is to do well on your exams.”

Liang Hao followed Yuan Xi and said, “I’ll do well on my exams.”

Huo Shiyuan said to Yuan Xi, “The doors of Shi Yi’s home will always be open for Xiao Hao. It’s easy for me to arrange a job for your uncle and aunt. You don’t need to fear Chu Lin’s threats.”

Yuan Xi bit her lip and said, “Xiao Hao has his college entrance exams soon. Let’s just get through this period peacefully, Xiao Hao, you must stay calm and score well.”

“Don’t worry, sis, I’ll do well.”

After saying goodbye to Liang family’s grandparents, Yuan Xi got into the car with Huo Shiyuan.

Yuan Xi watched Huo Shiyuan drive off towards Ruohu Mansion first.

After stopping the car, Huo Shiyuan said, “You can also choose not to go to the Yang Family now. I can arrange for Xiao Hao’s family to be well taken care of in A City.”

Yuan Xi: “Forget it, today he threatened my grandparents, next time he could threaten Suisui, Yuanzi, and Shitou. It’s not like Suisui and Shitou’s family can just move to City A whenever they say so. It’s just a visit to the Yang Family. Let’s just go.”

Huo Shiyuan: “I’ll go grab a tin of tea leaves from the tea room to give to Uncle Yang. Wait for me in the car for a moment.”

…

Yang Family Residence.

Chu Yan definitely felt something was off at the Yang Family’s today. The second aunt who used to suck up to her was now keeping her distance.

The three cousins from the Yang Family were also evidently aloof toward her.

Only when Bo Fan was around did the Yang Family treat her a bit nicer.

Since finding out she was adopted, Chu Yan had feared being looked down upon, but with her wedding to Bo Fan approaching, many people still flattered her because she was going to be the young mistress of the Bo Family.

But today… she could distinctly feel the Yang Family’s coldness toward her.

A middle-aged man in a jacket spoke up, “Little sister, has Xinyan not arrived yet?”

Yang Ying replied, “She’ll be here soon, she’s on her way.”

Yang Zhang glanced at Chu Yan standing beside Yang Ying and then walked over to the sofa to sit down, picking up a newspaper to read.

Chu Yan sweetly called out, “Uncle… Bo Fan still has some issues he’d like to ask for your advice on.”

Yang Zhang replied, “We don’t talk business at family gatherings on weekends.”

Chu Yan pursed her lips and said, “Uncle, is it because my sister has returned that you don’t like me anymore?”

Yang Zhang scolded, “I’ve warned you before, nowadays the internet is a double-edged sword. Families like ours must be careful not to expose too much online. I already warned you to keep a low profile when you and Bo Fan’s engagement hit the trending searches, so what was the meaning behind you ‘liking’ a post on Weibo to call out Yuan Xi a few days ago?”

Chu Yan said in a low voice, “It was a slip of the finger, and besides, it was my sister who first showed off her three-billion-yuan diamond ring online.”

Yang Zhang uttered a brief scoff.

Yang Ying had always been somewhat afraid of her stern elder brother, so she pulled Chu Yan back, signaling her to speak less.

The sound of a car engine came from the doorway, and Yang Zhang frowned again, “Chu Lin is almost thirty and still driving supercars like a young kid, completely lacking any sense of stability.”

Yang Ying quickly said, “It must be Xinxin who has arrived.”

At the entrance, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan got out of the car and saw an old western-style house situated in the center of the city, guarded at the door.

When Huo Shiyuan and Yuan Xi entered the house, they saw Chu Yan and Yang Ying standing there.

“Mom,” called out Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan together.

Yang Ying said, “This is your elder uncle, quickly greet your elder uncle.”

“Elder Uncle.”

Yuan Xi looked at the man on the sofa as she called out, this man, Yang Zhang, could be seen quite often on Jiang City’s local news media.

Upon seeing Huo Shiyuan next to Yuan Xi, Yang Zhang rose to his feet, “Shi…”

Huo Shiyuan smiled faintly at Yang Zhang, “Elder Uncle, I am Yuan Xi’s husband, John.”

Yang Zhang looked at Huo Shiyuan and Yuan Xi with a hint of surprise, remembering Chu Yan saying that Yuan Xi’s husband was just a country bumpkin, and smiled, “John, welcome, welcome.”

Yuan Xi glanced at Huo Shiyuan. He clearly knew Yang Zhang and it seemed like Yang Zhang was aware of Huo Shiyuan’s identity.

Yang Zhang looked at Yuan Xi, “You really do resemble your mother when she was young. After being lost for twenty-five years, you finally returned. It turns out you were in Jiang City all along. We’ve been misled by the nanny, thinking you were abducted to another place. If you had been in Jiang City, we would have found you much sooner.”

Yuan Xi just offered a faint smile, considering her grandfather and uncles were some of the most influential figures in Jiang City, yet she couldn’t be found for twenty-five years…

Huo Shiyuan presented the gift he was carrying, “Elder Uncle, this is some tea leaves my uncle roasted himself this year. Shall I brew you a cup in the tea room?”

Chu Yan snickered, her mockery clear, “Brother-in-law, Elder Uncle is not like the rural uncle’s home you just visited. The tea Elder Uncle usually drinks is of collectible grade. Can the tea leaves your uncle roasted himself be palatable to him?”
