I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 177 - : Destined to Have a Hard Time at the Huo Family
Chapter 177 -177: Destined to Have a Hard Time at the Huo Family
Yuan Xi went into the reception room.
Mi Yi held a cup of coffee and said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve had coffee that you’ve made. Your secretary’s coffee-making skills are far inferior to yours.”
Yuan Xi smiled faintly and walked to the coffee machine beside the reception room, “Sister Mi Yi, wait a moment, I’ll make you a cup of coffee.”
Mi Yi said, “I didn’t come over today for anything in particular. I heard that Shiyan canceled the collaboration with the Fu An Group because of you. I’ve looked into the matter roughly, and it was just a few unpleasant words from Yixian’s cousin. There really was no need for it to escalate to this point.”
Yuan Xi handed over the coffee to Mi Yi.
Mi Yi looked at Yuan Xi and said, “Xiao Xi, we’ve known each other for so long, and as a good friend, I advise you to let go of this matter. Try to persuade Shiyan to stop seeking revenge on the Fu An Group and to continue the collaboration with them.”
“Xiao Xi, Shiyan’s heart is fully invested in you now. He disregards the Huo Family elders, the longstanding friendship between the Huo and Fu Families, and even his childhood bond with Fu Yixian and Fu Qin for your sake. But what about the future…”
“A man’s heart is the most unreliable — it changes in an instant. Shiyan has ‘turned against his kin’ for you this time. If your relationship falls apart in the future, and this matter is brought up, it will be blamed on your immaturity, causing Shiyan a huge loss, and you won’t be able to bear that guilt.”
“Also, considering the long-standing friendship between the elders of the Fu and Huo Families, by clinging to this issue and inciting Shiyan to vent for you, have you thought about how you will face the Huo Family elders? As far as I know, the entire Huo Family is advising Shiyan to continue cooperating with the Fu Family.”
“Xiao Xi, there’s a considerable gap between you and Shiyan. Even though your biological parents are chairmen of Chuneng Group, you must be aware that Chuneng’s market value is not even as high as Mi Chen’s, let alone the Huo Family’s.”
“Xiao Xi, I may be saying a lot, and some of it might sound harsh, but it truly is for your own good. Marriages between misaligned households are destined to be difficult. Offending the Huo Family elders and Shiyan’s childhood friends is of no benefit to you.”
Yuan Xi said, “Thank you for your ‘kind intentions.'”
Mi Yi said, “Xiao Xi, it’s good if you can accept this advice. After all, the Fu Family has its foundations, and it does you no good to have Shiyan create conflicts with the Fu Family for your sake. If you want to survive in the elite circles of City A, don’t think you can act recklessly just by relying on Shiyan. Chu Yan is a cautionary tale for you.”
Yuan Xi said, “Um, Mi Yi, I’m quite busy. If there’s nothing else, I won’t keep you any longer.”
Mi Yi said, “Then I’ll leave first.”
Yuan Xi watched Mi Yi’s departing figure, finding it laughable. Did she really appear that foolish in Mi Yi’s eyes? Shiyan was standing up for her this time. If she were to stop Shiyan from defending her, wouldn’t it just signal to the top circles of City A that Yuan Xi could be easily bullied?
Yuan Xi returned to her office and worked, looking through various reports and forms, until she received a call from Old Mrs. Huo.
“Xiao Xi, Shiyan’s birthday is coming up in a few days. Why don’t you and Shiyan come over to the old house to celebrate?”
Yuan Xi nearly forgot that Shiyan’s birthday was indeed approaching, “Yes, Grandma.”
Old Mrs. Huo said, “Xiao Xi, I didn’t know how to speak to you about the incident the other day. Back then, I was just too heartbroken for the child. After hearing Yiren say you were heartless, I thought so too; you obviously could choose not to work and take care of the child. But then I realized that wasn’t right. The child was born out of your hardship, and even I, as a great-grandmother, have no right to criticize you… Can you forgive Grandma?”
Yuan Xi hadn’t expected Old Mrs. Huo, a senior to her, to actually use the word ‘forgive’, “Um, Grandma, I don’t blame you anymore.”
Old Mrs. Huo said, “Then have him come back to the old house for his birthday in a few days.”
Yuan Xi replied with a light smile, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xi started discussing in the group chat, which included only her, Chen Yuan, and Liang Suisui, what birthday gift to give Shiyan.
She had just given a diamond ring on Valentine’s Day, and Yuan Xi was once again troubled about choosing a gift.
Sui Sui: Tie yourself up with a ribbon!!!
Yuanyuan Yuanyuan: Tie yourself up with a ribbon!!!
Yuan Xi didn’t want to bother with the two of them, so she searched online, thinking it would be better to learn how to make a birthday cake herself.
Shiyan didn’t lack any expensive gifts; it was the thought that counted. Cooking a cake herself would be more meaningful than any other gift.
When Yuan Xi got home, she heard crying from the baby room.
She hurried upstairs and saw Shiyan holding Little Lele who had just been vaccinated.
An An hadn’t been vaccinated yet, and seeing his sister cry, he blinked his eyes rapidly.
Yuan Xi looked at Shiyan, “Why didn’t you tell me you were getting the children vaccinated?”
Shiyan said, “You would have felt sorry to see the kids getting vaccinated.”
“You should have told me anyway; the kids would feel very pitiful without their mom by their side during the vaccinations.”
Yuan Xi took Little Lele from Shiyan’s arms, and the crying gradually stopped when Little Lele was in Yuan Xi’s arms.
Yuan Xi touched Little Lele’s face with her face, “My poor Lele baby, mom will definitely be with you during vaccinations in the future.”
Yuan Xi saw the doctor preparing to give An An an injection, and seeing the long needle, she indeed couldn’t bear to look. Hearing An An’s cries, her heart also ached.
Shiyan picked up An An and comforted him, thanking the doctor.

After the doctor left, Yuan Xi said to Shiyan, “Your birthday is in a few days, and grandma wants us to go back to Fu Mansion for the birthday.”
Shiyan said, “Hmm.”
Yuan Xi looked at Little Lele in her arms, “What do you want for your birthday gift? Can I make you a cake?”
Shiyan chuckled, “Don’t you think it would be better to give me a birthday surprise on the day?”
Yuan Xi said, “I’m afraid you might not be pleased with the gift I give, so I’d rather ask beforehand.”
“I won’t be; I will like whatever gift you give.”
“Hmm.” Yuan Xi looked at the two babies tenderly, “The temperature outside is quite nice today, and the spring breeze is comfortable too. How about taking them for a walk in the park?”
Shiyan nodded, “Good.”
Yuan Xi put the two babies in the stroller and went with Shiyan to the lakeside park at Yunsen Court.
On the resting wooden benches by the lakeside park, Yuan Xi saw an acquaintance.
Fu Yi also came over after seeing them.
Fu Yi spoke coldly to Shiyan, “You intentionally shorted Fu An, waiting for me to offload Fu An’s shares so that Yixian could buy them at a low price? You and Yixian really have good tactics.
You didn’t really need to go to all this trouble; as long as Yixian gives Ren Tian back to me, I can give him all my shares in Fu An. I have no interest in managing Fu An.”
Yuan Xi listened to Fu Yi’s words, her hand pushing the stroller paused; Shiyan and Fu An Group had terminated cooperation to short Fu An? To help Yixian take Fu Yi’s shares?
And here she had been so touched these past few days…
Shiyan explained to Yuan Xi, “Terminating cooperation with Fu An was indeed for your sake, it just conveniently involved shorting Fu An’s shares too.
Yixian has also promised me that he will allow Qian Yiren to offload the shares at a low price, leave Fu An, and Yixian will not manage Yiren any further, will cut off relations with her in the future, and not allow Yiren back into Fu Mansion ever again.”
Yuan Xi wondered, “They are close cousins… can they really sever ties?”
Shiyan chuckled, “When it comes to interests, even siblings can turn against each other, let alone cousins?”
