I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 140 - : Huo Shiyuan Cheats, Aren’t You Sad?

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Huo Shiyuan Cheats, Aren’t You Sad?

Yuan Xi grabbed a cup from under the coffee machine and took it to her office.

She pulled out her phone and searched for Huo Shiyuan.

The video of Huo Shiyuan’s interview was currently trending online.

In particular, the interview segment where Gao Yang asks Huo Shiyuan about the origin of the name “Shixi Finance” was extracted and posted separately. The thirty-second video garnered a million likes, and comments broke the hundred thousand mark.

Huo Shiyuan on camera, perhaps due to a filter used, indeed didn’t look as good as he did in person.

“President Huo, I want to ask about the origin of the name ‘Shixi Finance.'”

...

Gao Yang’s voice was gentle and intellectual. Immediately after, Huo Shiyuan’s eyes softened and his lips curved into a light smile, “When Shixi was established, I was still abroad. The English translation is timewest, so we just used the character ‘xi.'”

After watching the video segment three times, Yuan Xi couldn’t find where Huo said that the name ‘Shixi’ was chosen because of the character ‘Xi’ in his wife’s name.

Yuan Xi watched a few more videos and even found the original footage to confirm that the part where Huo Shiyuan said he named it after his wife’s name was indeed cut out.

Online, many marketing accounts were gushing over Huo Shiyuan’s gentle smile towards Gao Yang.

“I guarantee, that look in Huo Shiyuan’s eyes is definitely one of budding romance! Huo Shiyuan smiling like that at Gao Yang is just too soothing.”

“His look is called ‘smiling tenderly and affectionately,’ it’s simply maddening! A financial mogul X beautiful and intellectual host!”

“Weren’t you all shipping Si Chen and Gao Yang yesterday? How come you’re shipping Huo Shiyuan and Gao Yang today?”

“Because it’s just so shippable, these two are a perfect match, a young and promising finance mogul who studied abroad falls for a top-notch beauty and finance host at first sight!”

Yuan Xi browsed the comment section for a while, took a sip of her coffee, and continued working.

Yuan Xi never took online discussions seriously, as netizens’ shipping fantasies come and go, mostly in jest.

After returning to Jiangyan Villa, she was called over to Shi Lei’s family’s house by Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan’s wedding was in two days, and today they needed to decorate the wedding room.

Though they could hire a professional party company, Chen Yuan felt every penny saved was a penny earned.

When Yuan Xi entered, the place was filled with balloons of all sizes.

Liang Suisui said upon seeing Yuan Xi, “Look at Yuanzi, she really has grasped the essence of being a thrifty factory owner’s wife, even wanting to decorate the wedding room herself.”

Chen Yuan said, “Wedding expenses are astronomical, saving a bit here and there helps. The studios jack up their prices when they hear it’s for a wedding, charging over ten thousand just to hang a few balloons and festive stickers. That ten thousand could extend our honeymoon for several more days…”

Liang Suisui: “It’s a once in a lifetime event. Don’t be too frugal on Shitou’s behalf, beware that while you’re saving money on the front end, he might be spending the savings on a mistress behind your back.”

Shi Lei popped out and retorted, “Liang Suisui, can’t you wish me well for once? I’m about to get married, and you’re bringing up affairs?”

Liang Suisui said, “I’m just putting it out there, if you dare find a mistress and wrong Yuanzi… I absolutely won’t let you off!”

As Shi Lei came over to inflate balloons, he looked at Yuan Xi and said,

“I’m not the one to find mistresses. You should say that to Huo Shiyuan, he and that beautiful host are all over social media.”

Liang Suisui, busy helping Chen Yuan with the wedding, hadn’t checked her phone much today. Upon looking, she was furious.

“How dare Huo Shiyuan smile at another woman with such amorous intentions? Xiao Xi, aren’t you angry?”

Yuan Xi replied, “I was there during the filming. Huo Shiyuan wasn’t smiling at Gao Yang. Why should I be angry?”

After watching the thirty-second video, Chen Yuan gave Yuan Xi a thumbs-up, “You’re not even angry? Awesome!”

Liang Suisui, while tying balloon flowers and checking the tutorial videos, asked, “Xiao Xi, aren’t you worried that Huo Shiyuan might cheat?”

Yuan Xi casually said, “Why be worried? If he really cheats, just divorce him.

After the divorce, the assets acquired during the marriage are split equally. I’ll get quite a bit.”

“If he really makes me leave without a penny, the assets I had before the marriage could still support both me and the children. Besides, if I’m truly out of options, there’s still the Chu Family.”

Chen Yuan and Shi Lei exchanged looks.

Liang Suisui momentarily paused her hand movements, “What if Huo Shiyuan fights for custody of the children?”

Yuan Xi’s tone remained calm, “He cheated on me, why would he want my children? He can just have them with the woman he likes. With his status and identity, would he really lack children?”

Chen Yuan said, “No, Xiao Xi… aren’t you angry and hurt that Huo Shiyuan cheated?”

Yuan Xi: “Why should I be angry and hurt?”

If Huo Shiyuan really cheated, what good would being angry and hurt do? The best solution would be to get a divorce immediately.

Chen Yuan: “… Don’t you think you’re a bit too calm about Huo Shiyuan cheating?”

Liang Suisui continued tying balloons, “Yuanzi, don’t ask anymore. Xiao Xi has never really been in love before, so she isn’t influenced by romantic emotions. She didn’t marry Huo Shiyuan for love either. Xiao Xi doesn’t understand what love is.”

Chen Yuan looked at Liang Suisui, “Are you saying Xiao Xi doesn’t love Huo Shiyuan at all?”

Liang Suisui nodded, “Yes, if she had any affection, how could she be so clear-headed and calm? She even has a plan clear in mind for after the divorce…”

At the entrance of Shi Lei’s family’s house.

Huo Shiyuan stood at the front gate and, upon hearing the conversation inside, let out a cold laugh.

He waited a bit longer until they changed topics and then knocked on the slightly open door.

Hearing the knocking, Shi Lei saw Huo Shiyuan at the door and said with a light smile, “Are you here looking for Xiao Xi?”

Huo Shiyuan nodded, “It’s time for dinner. Have you eaten yet? Why not join us at my place?”

Chen Yuan waved his hand, “No need. We ordered takeout.”

Yuan Xi stood up, “I’ll come over to help after I’ve eaten.”

Yuan Xi went home with Huo Shiyuan, and as soon as they entered the house, Huo Shiyuan kissed her lips.

Yuan Xi closed her eyes in response. This time, Huo Shiyuan’s kiss was very intense, and Yuan Xi felt almost breathless when it ended.

“Hu Shiyan…”

Huo Shiyuan looked deeply at Yuan Xi but ultimately said nothing.

Liang Suisui and Chen Yuan made it clear; Yuan Xi’s calmness about their marriage was because she had no feelings of love.

She even had the option to choose the Chu Family…

Yuan Xi found Huo Shiyuan’s gaze a bit perplexing, “Will you be free after dinner? If you are, let’s go together and help at Shi Lei’s house with the wedding preparations.”

Huo Shiyuan replied, “I have to attend a meeting for an investment company.”

Yuan Xi: “Okay, I might be back late then since Yuanzi’s wedding is the day after tomorrow.”

Huo Shiyuan just hummed, “Have them send you back when you return.”

Yuan Xi: “Okay.”

After dinner, Yuan Xi went back to Shi Lei’s house.

Liang Suisui said while eating a burger, “This Gao Yang always talks about women’s independence and not relying on men, but whenever she interviews someone, if the interviewee is a young man, she has to stir up a ‘CP’ rumor.”

Yuan Xi commented, “It might be the TV station director’s directive. Gao Yang doesn’t seem like the type to engage in such things.”

Yuan Xi thought that if Gao Yang wanted to create a ‘CP’ to increase her personal fame, she would have more impact with Gu Hanchen, especially since she was Gu Hanchen’s high school crush.

It really wasn’t necessary for Gao Yang to stir up ‘CPs’ with taken men like Si Chen and Huo Shiyuan…
