I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 194 - You and Mr. Gu Have No Future

Chapter 194 -194: You and Mr. Gu Have No Future Chapter 194 -194: You and Mr. Gu Have No Future Chu Lin frowned because of Yuan Xi’s cold words, “I heard from Gu Hanchen about Mi Chen’s difficulties and came back to help you solve them. Do you need to treat me with this attitude?”

Yuan Xi’s tone was still very cold, “I don’t need you to meddle.”

Chu Lin frowned and said, “You didn’t treat me like this before.”

“Before, you were my boss’s brother and one of Mi Chen’s shareholders, so I definitely had to be respectful to you, but now…”

Yuan Xi glanced at Chu Lin, “I don’t need to show you any good attitude anymore. When you repeatedly covered for Chu Yan, my patience and good face were already worn out. Why should I give you any good face?”

In a sense, Yuan Xi was an only child; she didn’t know how to get along with siblings.

Chu Lin frowned and said, “When you lost it, I didn’t know at all. Over the years, my feelings for Chu Yan have been different from those of mom and dad. They knew she wasn’t their biological child, but I didn’t know; I always treated her as my real sister, just like how you can’t let go of Liang Family’s grandparents!”

Yuan Xi said, “It’s not the same at all. Liang Family’s grandparents wouldn’t hurt us.”

Chu Lin, “In the end, Chu Yan didn’t hurt you at first either. It was just a little girl vying for affection and attention.”

Yuan Xi said, “Really? Even before I met my relatives, she and Yu Xiaoxiao cornered me in the underground garage, spreading rumors about me and Gu Hanchen, doesn’t that count as harm? Smashing the bracelet I gave to mom for the first time, doesn’t that count as harm?”

Chu Lin said, “Can’t you be less aggressive?”

Frustrated, Yuan Xi slammed the door shut, really regretting saying even half a word to Chu Lin.

Yuan Xi was actually relieved that Liang Suisui wasn’t interested in Chu Lin.

Locked out, Chu Lin cursed softly.

Cheng Yue heard the loud slamming of the door and came out to say to Chu Lin, “Mom finally managed to get Xiao Xi to stay at home, if you drive her away, mom will definitely blame you.”

Chu Lin took a deep breath, “She really is biting the hand that feeds her, ungrateful.”

After Yuan Xi closed the door, she continued her phone conversation with Huo Shiyuan.

Seeing Yuan Xi looking angry, Huo Shiyuan comforted her, “Forget it, don’t bother with irrelevant people.”

Yuan Xi said, “I even suspect that if Chu Yan hadn’t been sent abroad, if she were still in the country, Chu Lin would still be helping Chu Yan to take Mrs. Xu’s place.”

Huo Shiyuan asked, “Who’s Mrs. Xu?”

Yuan Xi explained, “Chu Yan is pregnant with the child of President Xu from Hengjie Paper Industry. She just went to Melbourne. I doubt that if she hadn’t gone to Melbourne, but cried and acted pitiful in front of Chu Lin, he would definitely soften his heart again…”

Huo Shiyuan chuckled, “Mom and dad wouldn’t let Chu Lin mess things up.”

Yuan Xi said, “I really think Chu Lin is the one who should go to Gu Hanchen’s pig farm to raise pigs. His intelligence matches pigs the best.”

Huo Shiyuan laughed lightly.

Yuan Xi continued the previous topic, “Right, about that fishing tactic, who could we trick into making Mi Yi believe and take the bait?”

“Jackson.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Before he started his business, he was highly ranked on hacker forums, he can help you.”

“That really means owing him a big favor,” Yuan Xi said.

Huo Shiyuan added, “Just invite him to a meal when you get a chance. If he wants to establish himself in Jiang City, he also needs the support of traditional Jiang City families. When the Chu Family or Gu Family have a banquet, just invite Jackson.”

Yuan Xi nodded slightly, “Okay, I got it.”

The internet era made many people rich overnight, and there were few interactions between the Jiang City internet elites and some traditional wealthy families.

Because Gu Hanchen was from the Gu Family, it allowed Mi Chen to attend many aristocratic banquets.

For Jackson, too, he wanted to enter the circle of traditional aristocrats in Jiang City; Yuan Xi thought Gu Hanchen would be willing to help with this favor.

After settling her worries, Yuan Xi said, “I’m going to sleep now, hanging up.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Don’t hang up; I want to watch you fall asleep.”

Yuan Xi chuckled softly and didn’t hang up the video call.

—

At one o’clock in the morning, outside Jiangye.

Zhong Xiaoyi, supporting the drunken Gu Hanchen, sighed softly. It took quite an effort to help Gu Hanchen into the car, only to hear him insisting on having small wontons.

As the car started, Zhong Xiaoyi looked at Gu Hanchen, who reeked of alcohol, and sighed again helplessly.

Back at Jiangjing No.1, she helped Gu Hanchen back to the master bedroom.

Then, Zhong Xiaoyi went to the kitchen to boil the small wontons she had prepared during her vacation. Cooking them didn’t take long.

Carrying the small wontons, Zhong Xiaoyi went to the living room outside the master bedroom and helped Gu Hanchen sit up. “Mr. Gu, the small wontons are ready.”

Smelling the aroma, Gu Hanchen slowly came to his senses and took a bite, “These taste much better than Yuan Xi’s.”

Zhong Xiaoyi chuckled lightly, “If you like them, eat a bit more.”

Gu Hanchen rubbed his temple. “You really can’t get married or date before you’re thirty. If you get married and have kids, truly, no one will cook small wontons for me in the middle of the night.”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “After you get married, Mrs. Gu will cook them for you.”

Gu Hanchen scoffed, “Do you think finding Mrs. Gu is that easy?”

“It’s because you’re too demanding,” Zhong Xiaoyi chuckled lightly.

Indeed, Gu Hanchen’s standards were high. He required a stunning beauty who stood out in a crowd, an ordinary beauty wouldn’t catch his eye.

Not only did she need to be beautiful, but she also had to have a cheerful personality, and be able to tolerate Gu Hanchen coming home in the early hours after hanging out with his friends.

Initially, Zhong Xiaoyi thought Gu Hanchen was deliberately making it difficult for his future wife, but later, she realized he truly had no interest in marriage; his standards were genuinely that high.

Gu Hanchen clicked his tongue, “Marriage is a lifelong commitment; shouldn’t the standards be high? The person who marries you, able to enjoy these delicious small wontons, will be truly fortunate.”

Zhong Xiaoyi replied, “Mr. Gu, I don’t want to get married.”

The drunkenness in Gu Hanchen lightened a bit, “You’re much clearer-headed than Yuan Xi, who can’t make sense of things, marrying and having children at just twenty-six.”

Zhong Xiaoyi smiled at Gu Hanchen. After he had eaten half of the small wontons, she began tidying up the living room.

Entering the kitchen, Zhong Xiaoyi saw Mrs. Zhong washing the pot.

Mrs. Zhong looked at her and said, “Look at those dark circles under your eyes. You should change jobs. You haven’t been sleeping well recently. It’s already two in the morning. Mr. Gu can go to work at ten or twelve, but you have to be up by eight…”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I’ll wash them. You go rest.”

Mrs. Zhong looked at Zhong Xiaoyi, “Xiao Yi, there’s no possibility between you and Mr. Gu.”

Zhong Xiaoyi responded, “I know. I’m not seeking any result. I just want to use my own way to repay Mr. Gu for his kindness to my mother and me. That’s all.”

Mrs. Zhong said, “Xiao Yi, I’m afraid you’ll get hurt.”

As Zhong Xiaoyi washed the dishes, she never demanded any outcome; how could she be hurt?

She was all too aware of her status and would never indulge in unrealistic dreams.

But she would always remember when she was in her sophomore year of high school and suffering from severe menstrual pain, Gu Hanchen helped her make brown sugar water and stuck warming pads on her.

In her sophomore year, she couldn’t get her math scores up, so she had to attend tutoring classes after school, not returning until eleven at night.

Once, when Zhong Xiaoyi was returning to Jiangjing No.1 late at night, a suspicious man tried to approach her. After Gu Hanchen found out about her late returns from math tutoring, he asked her to cancel the evening classes and only attend weekend day classes.

In those early days of his startup, Gu Hanchen personally tutored her in math and English.

Zhong Xiaoyi was always aware of Gu Hanchen’s kindness; he simply saw her as a child he had watched grow up.

Zhong Xiaoyi thought she would never fall for someone else in her lifetime. She would always silently cherish her affection for Gu Hanchen, not asking for anything in return, only silently guarding the love of her younger days.
