I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 147 - The Due Date is on January 19th

Chapter 147: Chapter 147 The Due Date is on January 19th

Before heading to A City.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan went for a family meal at the Yang Family’s place.

When Yang Ying learned that Yuan Xi was heading to A City, her eyes were filled with reluctance. “Xinxin, you must take good care of yourself in A City. Remember to tell us if you encounter any difficulties. Your mom and dad will always have your back.”

Yuan Xi simply nodded lightly.

Huo Shiyuan said, “My granny has always been very fond of Xiao Xi since she was a child. She definitely won’t let her be wronged. The greatest wrongs Xiao Xi has ever suffered… all took place in the Chu Family.”

Yang Ying’s face turned a bit sour, but what Huo Shiyuan said was true, and all she and Chu Qing felt was guilt…

...

After having lunch at the Yang Family’s.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan went to visit Granny Liang and Grandpa Liang in Jinyan Village, not far from Ruohu.

The Liang grandparents’ village had also been demolished, and the uncles and aunts moved into the same community as Chen Yuan’s parents.

However, it was tough for the elderly grandparents to adapt to city life after spending their entire lives in the village.

So, the Liang uncles built a small two-story house for Granny Liang and Grandpa Liang in the village. On weekends, they would bring Liang Hao back to keep the old couple company.

Having not seen Liang Hao in a long time, Yuan Xi noticed that Liang Hao seemed to have grown up quite a bit, shedding his childishness and becoming modest and polite.

“Grandpa, Granny, I’m here today to tell you that Shiyan and I are going to A City. We probably won’t be able to visit you very often from now on.”

Granny Liang said, “Remember to call us if anything happens in A City.”

Yuan Xi said, “Okay, I want to visit my parents’ grave later. I probably won’t be in Jiang City for this year’s Winter Solstice.”

Granny Liang quickly said, “You can’t go to the cemetery with a baby on the way.”

Yuan Xi replied, “It’s fine.”

Granny Liang insisted while holding Yuan Xi’s hand, “You can’t go, period. Let Xiao Hao take Shiyan to tend to the graves for you. Your baby is what matters most, and there are certain taboos for pregnant women at the cemetery.”

Huo Shiyuan joined in, “Yeah, don’t go. I’ll go and tend to the grave for you.”

Although Winter Solstice was still about a month away, the village stores had already started selling items for tending to graves.

Yuan Xi was not familiar with these practices, having been busy working all these years, she rarely visited the graves. On Winter Solstice, when she got off work early, a bouquet of fresh flowers usually sufficed.

This year, with Granny Liang there, she instructed Huo Shiyuan and Liang Hao to pour liquor first and then burn all kinds of paper money.

Yuan Xi was afraid that Huo Shiyuan wouldn’t have the patience. After all, she spent her entire life there and had little patience for the old generation’s customs. Huo Shiyuan, having lived abroad for many years, might also consider it superstitious.

But Huo Shiyuan actually took it more seriously than she did, even recording Granny Liang’s requests, which were half dialect, half Mandarin, on his phone.

“Shiyan, don’t forget to ask Xiao Xi’s parents to bless her with a safe delivery.”

Huo Shiyuan took note as well.

Yuan Xi was pulled aside by Granny Liang and stayed in the house chatting with her.

Full of concern, Granny Liang said, “They won’t bully you in his family in A City, will they?”

Yuan Xi smiled and shook her head, “Granny, I haven’t told you yet, but Shiyan is Brother Zhuangzhuang. He’s the grandson from Grandma Shi’s family that we used to play with when we were kids.”

Granny Liang said, “So it’s him, unbelievable! He used to be chubby and pale like a little pig, and now he has become so handsome?”

Yuan Xi nodded, “Yes, it’s Brother Zhuangzhuang. So, you can rest assured, his family is quite nice to me.”

Granny Liang said, “As long as they’re good to you, that’s fine.”

Yuan Xi’s phone rang, it was a video call from Qin Lang. As she answered, she saw Huo Shiyuan at the cemetery.

Huo Shiyuan took the phone from Qin Lang’s hand, “Is there anything you want to tell your mom and dad?”

Liang Hao commented from the side, “A cyber cemetery visit?”

Yuan Xi smiled softly, seeing the photos of her parents on the tombstone. She said, “Dad, Mom, don’t worry, I am very happy now.”

Liang Hao inserted the incense into the burner, knelt down to pay respects, and then handed the incense to Huo Shiyuan.

Huo Shiyuan took three sticks of incense and, imitating Liang Hao’s example, knelt and kowtowed in worship.

Yuan Xi was quite moved by the sight of Huo Shiyuan kneeling and bowing in the video.

Granny Liang, witnessing this scene, was both heartbroken and relieved; heartbroken to see the place where her black-haired daughter had gone, and relieved that Huo Shiyuan, now such a big CEO, would also kneel down to worship.

After Huo Shiyuan and Liang Hao returned, Yuan Xi walked out the door and took hold of Huo Shiyuan’s hand, “Thank you.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “It’s what I should do.”

After dinner at the Liang Family’s, the couple returned to Jiangyan Villa. Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan’s luggage was rather simple, as they could buy anything else they needed upon arriving in A City.

However, baby products may not be better just because they are newly bought. The baby items in Jiangyan Villa were also brand new but had been de-formaldehyde treated, so there were still quite a few things that needed to be moved to A City.

When leaving Jiangyan Villa, Yuan Xi looked back at the house where they had stayed for only a short time and somehow felt reluctant to leave.

Upon arriving in A City,

Huo Shiyuan wasn’t planning to live in the old family home but in a villa district not far from the old home called Yunsen Court.

Huo Shiyuan’s parents were also in this residential area, but a bit far apart, one on the southeast end of the community and the other on the northwest, about a ten-minute walk from each other.

For Huo Shiyuan, this distance was just right. After all, Yuan Xi was in the late stages of pregnancy and truly needed someone to take care of her.

Huo Shiyuan was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to return in time if something happened while he was out, so having Shi Zhen nearby to help out was beneficial, but their daily lives wouldn’t interfere with one another.

Yuan Xi did not have the maid come up to tidy the bedroom; she, with a bit of a cleanliness fetish, still preferred to organize the bedroom herself.

Yuan Xi heard some noises coming from downstairs and said to Huo Shiyuan, “There seems to be some noise downstairs.”

Huo Shiyuan walked to the spiral staircase and saw the person below, lightly laughing, “Long time no see.”

Xu Zhou said, “It’s been a long time indeed. I saw the moving company’s truck enter the community and asked around to find out it was you who had come back.”

Yuan Xi came out of the bedroom suite, “Shiyuan.”

Huo Shiyuan, holding Yuan Xi’s hand, descended the stairs.

Yuan Xi saw the two tall men standing before her, one more lively, the other more composed, both seeming not much older than herself.

Huo Shiyuan introduced them, “This is Xu Zhou, the president of Qihang Technology, and this is Wen Zhuo, the vice president of Renwen Pharmaceutical, my primary school classmates as well as college classmates.”

Yuan Xi extended her hand, with a professional light smile, “Hello.”

Xu Zhou held Yuan Xi’s hand, “Little Xi?”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly and nodded.

Wen Zhuo also shook hands with Yuan Xi, “Little Xi… nice to meet you.”

Yuan Xi glanced at Huo Shiyuan, noting that everyone close to him seemed to know about ‘Little Xi’…

Xu Zhou, looking at Yuan Xi’s belly, said, “Is the baby coming soon?”

Huo Shiyuan nodded, “Yes, the due date is around January 19th, just about a month and a half left.”

Wen Zhuo’s eyes flickered with a touch of discomfort, “Congratulations.”

Xu Zhou said, “Shiyuan, you always like to be ahead in everything, even in pregnancy and childbirth you’re leading the way.”

Yuan Xi asked with a light smile, “What would you like to drink?”

Xu Zhou replied, “No trouble, we just came to take a look. We’ll get together for a meal some other day when you are free.”

Yuan Xi responded, “Alright.”

After Xu Zhou and Wen Zhuo left, Yuan Xi said to Huo Shiyuan, “That Wen Zhuo looks somewhat familiar to me, as if I’ve seen him somewhere.”

Huo Shiyuan explained, “Wen Zhuo and Xu Zhou were my classmates in primary school, and later we applied to the same university. During university, both of them lived in my house.”

Yuan Xi said, “But, this Wen Zhuo really does look familiar to me.”

Huo Shiyuan suggested, “Maybe you met him at a banquet?”

Yuan Xi mused, “Possibly.”
