I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 59 - : Yuan Xi’s Appearance Deeply Disappoints Her

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Yuan Xi’s Appearance Deeply Disappoints Her

Yuan Xi’s gaze followed Little Shihuo’s pointing finger and looked outside, only to see a young woman entering through the door, wearing a neatly tailored blue sleeveless dress, which made her look noble and capable.

After sending a message, Huo Shiyuan took away the cola Little Shihuo had sipped twice. “No more cola for you, drink orange juice instead.”

“But I want cola!”

Little Shihuo tried to take back the cola that Huo Shiyuan had taken.

With a gentle voice, Yuan Xi spoke to Little Shihuo, “You can’t drink any more, cola is full of sugar, and drinking too much will turn you into a little fatty.”

Hearing “little fatty,” Little Shihuo obediently picked up the orange juice on the side to drink, “I don’t want to become a little fatty like Brother.”

Yuan Xi looked towards Huo Shiyuan, “Your brother isn’t fat.”

Huo Shiyuan must work out regularly, because he had a good physique, the type that appears slim in clothes but has muscles underneath.

Little Shihuo looked at Yuan Xi, confused. “Brother…”

Huo Shiyuan interrupted Little Shihuo’s words, “The situation with the Bo Family might be worse than we know. Qian Yiren is the niece of the Fu Family’s matriarch, and now she is also the Vice General Manager of the Fu An Group, in charge of some shopping mall acquisitions and operations. Her visit to Hengfan is to consider acquiring Hengfan.”

Yuan Xi said, “Hengfan is the Bo Family’s cash cow. If the Bo Family has to sell Hengfan, isn’t that pretty much the same as being desperate?”

Hengfan could be considered the Bo Family’s foundation.

Indeed, the crisis faced by the Bo Family was far more serious than what Qin Yue had described.

It wasn’t just about the loss of a mere 1.5 billion yuan.

After finishing their meal at KFC, the three of them went to select a gift for Gu Hanchen’s niece.

Little Shihuo walked into a jewelry store specializing in diamonds and pointed at the Diamond Crown displayed in the showcase outside, “I want to give this to Yingying.”

Yuan Xi glanced at the string of zeros and was taken aback.

But Huo Shiyuan nonchalantly handed over his card to the clerk, “Just this little crown, wrap it up.”

The clerk was stunned, not expecting the store’s treasured item to be sold. Although Hengfan is one of the largest luxury malls in Jiang City, this crown was usually just for display. “Please wait, I’ll find a box.”

Yuan Xi said, “Isn’t giving this little crown to a child a bit too extravagant?”

Huo Shiyuan responded, “It’s not too extravagant, little girls all like crowns like these.”

Yuan Xi replied, “That’s true, I also liked crowns full of shiny diamonds when I was a child. For my birthday, Brother Zhuangzhuang also gave me a little crown, which I wore playfully in the first and second grade of elementary school. By the third grade, though, I felt the diamonds on the crown were too big and gaudy, so I put it on the teddy bear that had grown up with me.”

Huo Shiyuan asked, “Is, is that crown still around?”

That crown had been custom-made when his parents got married; even in that era, it had been rather valuable.

Yuan Xi said with a light smile, “It is. After I was driven out of the house, I only took the birthday presents my friends had given me.”

Huo Shiyuan thought that if Yuan Xi just took a closer look at the diamonds on that little crown and saw the identification number on the diamond, she could have sold the crown and wouldn’t have had to struggle so much in her four years of university.

“Brother, I need to pee!”

Shihuo looked up at Huo Shiyuan.

Huo Shiyuan said, “Go by yourself.”

Yuan Xi protested, “How can you let him go alone? He might get lost.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “There are bodyguards following.”

Yuan Xi looked outside the store, indeed there were several tall and sturdy men in black shirts, all over 1.8 meters tall, who seemed to have followed them the entire way.

“The guy driving the Audi A6 we saw on the road these past few days is a bodyguard too? I was wondering why those A6’s came and went at the same time as us.”

Huo Shiyuan replied, “It’s the bodyguard’s car.”

Little Shihuo, holding Huo Shiyuan’s hand, “I just want Brother to accompany me.”

Yuan Xi waited in the store for the clerk to package the crown.

Huo Shiyuan, with no other choice, took Little Shihuo to the restroom.

While Huo Shiyuan waited outside the restroom for Little Shihuo, he saw Qian Yiren, who had come to use the facilities.

Qian Yiren looked at Huo Shiyuan and said, “It’s been a long time, I just saw you at the KFC at the entrance of the mall when I came in. I didn’t come over to greet you because of your message. When did you return to the country?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “I’ve been back for a little over a year, staying in Jiang City all the while.”

Qian Yiren was slightly stunned, “For the Ruohu project?”

Huo Shiyuan shook his head with a light smile, “For Yuan Xi.”

Qian Yiren pursed her lips lightly, “I’m really curious about what that Yuan Xi, whom you’ve been obsessed with since childhood, is like. Is she breathtakingly beautiful?”

“Sister Yiren?” Little Shihuo came out of the restroom and hugged Qian Yiren’s thigh, “Sister Yiren.”

Qian Yiren smiled softly as she picked up Little Shihuo, “What brought you to Jiang City?”

“My mom and dad went to Switzerland to have fun and didn’t take me with them, so they sent me to hang out with Brother and Sister.”

Qian Yiren chuckled and kissed Little Shihuo on the cheek, “Then you must be a good boy and listen to what Brother says.”

Yuan Xi came to the restroom to find Huo Shiyuan and Little Shihuo after the crown was packaged. She saw a young woman holding and kissing Little Shihuo’s cheek.

Yuan Xi approached Huo Shiyuan and professionally smiled at Qian Yiren, “Hello, President Qian.”

“Sister!” Little Shihuo lunged toward Yuan Xi, wanting to be held by her.

Huo Shiyuan stepped forward and took Little Shihuo first, “Your sister has a baby in her belly now, you can’t let her hold you anymore.”

Qian Yiren examined Yuan Xi, who was dressed in a shirt and A-line skirt. Her long hair was pinned up, giving off a gentle vibe, and her makeup was elegantly light, hardly different from the average office lady she had seen.

Yuan Xi’s appearance made Qian Yiren give a wry laugh.

Yuan Xi could be considered beautiful, but such petite beauties were a dime a dozen in City A; there was nothing instantly eye-catching or stunning about her.

Qian Yiren couldn’t accept that the woman in front of her was the Yuan Xi that Huo Shiyuan had been fixated on since childhood, “You’re Yuan Xi?”

Yuan Xi extended her hand, “Yes, it’s nice to meet you, President Qian.”

Qian Yiren found it laughable; she had always imagined Yuan Xi to be an extraordinarily beautiful woman. She even feared to investigate just how beautiful Yuan Xi was, to imagine why Huo Shiyuan, even after many years abroad, would choose to marry her.

Qian Yiren’s current feeling was like looking at heavily filtered photos of beautiful scenic spots posted by travel bloggers before a trip, full of anticipation, only to be disappointed when the actual scenery turned out to be no different from her family’s estate after a long flight.

Over the years, Qian Yiren continuously fine-tuned her looks through cosmetic procedures, anxious about her beauty, always thinking she was less pretty than Yuan Xi…

But clearly, Yuan Xi’s looks were a tremendous letdown to her.

Qian Yiren was stunned for a good while before shaking hands with Yuan Xi, “I’ve heard so much about you.”

If Yuan Xi couldn’t tell that Qian Yiren was interested in Huo Shiyuan, then she would have wasted her five years as Gu Hanchen’s secretary. She didn’t engage in too much conversation with Qian Yiren.

Huo Shiyuan said to Qian Yiren, “It looks like you’re busy with work, so we won’t keep you any longer. We’ll be heading off first.”

Qian Yiren, “Mmm, Shiyan, could you pick a time in the next few days for the two of us to have a meal together? It’s been so long.”

Huo Shiyuan declined, “I’m afraid I won’t have the time; my schedule for the next few days is quite full.”

Qian Yiren, “You don’t even have time for a lunch together?”
