I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 29 - : Knockoff Formal Wear

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Knockoff Formal Wear

Yu Xiaoxiao took a nearby wine glass and sipped lightly, “I still have that much perceptiveness, I won’t purposely spoil the comeback party you’ve worked hard to prepare. As long as the dress Yuan Xi is wearing isn’t bought by Gu Hanchen, whether it’s a copy or a knockoff, what does it have to do with me?”

Chu Yan: “…”

Yu Xiaoxiao said, “Why hasn’t Gu Hanchen arrived yet? If he doesn’t come soon, the party will be over!”

Yu Xiaoxiao stretched her neck, looking outside, anticipating the arrival of Gu Hanchen’s car.

…

Inside a white ride-hailing car.

After hearing that Huo Shiyuan was Yuan Xi’s husband, Gu Hanchen did not speak for a long time. After a while, he finally cursed out loud.

“Damn! No wonder, hiding in the underground parking lot for lunch, and Huo Shiyuan even specifically brought Yuan Xi food!”

“Damn! They were having an affair right under my nose, and I didn’t notice it at all.”

“Five years, five years of day and night interaction, what deep friendship that was, and Yuan Xi actually hid it from me?!”

“No wonder Yuan Xi is so busy with work but still has the chance to get married and have children… Looking back, I’m at a loss. The time she spent with Huo Shiyuan was spent using work hours to date!”

Liang Suisui watched Gu Hanchen go mad and shifted towards the car door, “That Mi Chen owns half of the shares belonging to Huo Shiyuan, so you actually haven’t lost out…”

Gu Hanchen raised his voice, “How have I not lost out? Damn! No wonder she initially wanted to resign, she and Huo Shiyuan wanted me to be their beast of burden to make money for them, right?”

Liang Suisui said, “Mr. Gu, please be mindful of your conduct. Don’t swear with every other word. After all, you’re about to be the CEO of a listed company, right?”

Gu Hanchen’s face was full of indignation, looking at the road that was still blocked. He wished the car could sprout wings and fly over to settle accounts with Yuan Xi.

“Why can’t this car grow wings?”

Liang Suisui said softly, “Could it be that things that have wings are called airplanes?”

Gu Hanchen said, “Right, airplanes!”

Gu Hanchen made a call to Special Assistant Wang, arranging for a helicopter, and found a nearby building with a helipad.

Liang Suisui followed Gu Hanchen onto the helicopter, her first time in one, as the rumbling sound of the propeller echoed in her ears.

With the helicopter, it only took a few minutes to reach Chu’s Mansion.

The helicopter circled Chu’s Mansion, the enormous noise causing all the guests below to look up.

Yuan Xi had a very bad premonition.

The helicopter landed on a lawn outside Chu’s Mansion, its spinning propellers causing the blades of grass to thrash wildly.

Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the helicopter.

After the door opened, Gu Hanchen stepped down from the helicopter, not forgetting to be a gentleman by helping Liang Suisui inside.

Liang Suisui descended in her heavily customized gown, her hand resting on Gu Hanchen’s wrist, her slightly curled long hair being blown about by the helicopter’s propeller wind.

Chen Yuan looked and exclaimed, “Ah! Suisui is stunningly beautiful, and the handsome guy by her side is so handsome!”

Shi Lei also came over and said, “Suisui is drop-dead gorgeous!”

Yuan Xi smiled faintly, “The handsome guy by her side is the same Gu Hanchen you’ve cursed countless times for not giving me leave.”

Chen Yuan: “Ah? Gu Hanchen himself is even more handsome than his photos and videos online.”

Yu Xiaoxiao also saw Gu Hanchen descending from the helicopter, and she felt as if she had been coated in a layer of frost, “Who is that woman next to Gu Hanchen?”

Chu Yan looked towards the helicopter and saw Liang Suisui next to Gu Hanchen. She was wearing a dress identical to hers.

Liang Suisui was fifteen centimeters taller than her, which made the dress look even more elegant on her.

Chu Yan clenched her hands tightly.

And the young ladies around her who were just now complimenting Chu Yan’s daughter caught sight of the identical dress as well.

At a loss for words, they had just been praising Chu Yan for being the first to wear the dress.

But now it was obvious someone else was wearing the exact same one as Chu Yan, and she was Gu Hanchen’s date…

When had Chu Yan ever experienced a fashion clash with someone? If other celebrities wore the same dress first, Chu Yan wouldn’t wear it again. It was nothing short of humiliation for Chu Yan; there was a spectacle to be seen.

“Xiao Xi, I’m so sorry, I had no idea there would be issues with the subway on Line 5. There were traffic jams everywhere, and I’m late. If I knew, I wouldn’t have wasted time taking pictures,” Liang Suisui said as she approached Yuan Xi, full of apologies.

Yuan Xi let out a light laugh, “It’s okay, you’re here now.”

“It’s not okay now!”

Gu Hanchen took Yuan Xi’s wrist and pulled her into a corner, unconcerned with President Huo following them.

Gu Hanchen said to Yuan Xi, “Do you think this is fair to me? Damn it… Why did you hide your marriage to Huo Shiyuan from me? Do you find it fun to have an affair right under my nose?”

Yuan Xi said, “Mr. Gu, please watch your language; don’t swear. It’s not good for the baby’s prenatal education.”

Gu Hanchen replied, “I should watch my language? If Liang Suisui hadn’t told me, how long were you planning to keep this from me? Five years, we’ve known each other for five long years, and you kept this from me!”

Huo Shiyuan stepped forward, grabbed Gu Hanchen’s wrist, and freed Yuan Xi’s wrist from his grasp, “Mr. Gu, please show some self-respect.”

“Show some self-respect my ass!” Gu Hanchen was on the verge of exploding, “Were you two romancing during work hours? You’ll have your salary docked, Yuan Xi, and your year-end bonus is cut in half!”

Huo Shiyuan said, “We didn’t date during work hours; don’t dock Yuan Xi’s year-end bonus.”

Gu Hanchen replied, “So you’re treating me like a workhorse. No wonder Yuan Xi wants to resign. You’re holding a huge share in Mi Chen, expecting me to slave away for you two? Screw that! Yuan Xi, now that Mi Chen is your husband’s, you have to shoulder its responsibilities. I’m not going to be your workhorse. Don’t even think about resigning.”

Yuan Xi was silent.

She knew it—Gu Hanchen’s thought process would definitely go there.

Annoyed, Huo Shiyuan said, “Stop saying ‘I’ in that manner; it’s bad for the baby’s prenatal education.”

“It’s not my son,” Gu Hanchen said. “Why should I care about the baby’s prenatal education?”

Knowing Gu Hanchen was furious and drawing upon her years of experience by his side, Yuan Xi tried to smooth things over, “I’m sorry for keeping my marriage to President Huo a secret from you.”

Gu Hanchen asked, “Is a ‘sorry’ supposed to be enough?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “What else do you want?”

Gu Hanchen continued, “I have no relation to the child in Yuan Xi’s belly, and it’s not my place to worry about whether the baby’s prenatal education is good or not, unless, unless you’re willing to make me the godfather.”

Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi, for whom it didn’t matter either way.

Gu Hanchen might be temperamental, often cursed, and was flamboyant… But he was also generous.

Every year he threatened to dock her year-end bonus, but the actual amount always turned out to be more generous than the year before.

Yuan Xi placated Gu Hanchen only after agreeing that he could be the child’s godfather.

Her glance caught Chu Yan and Yu Xiaoxiao heading over to Liang Suisui with several wealthy ladies.

As Liang Suisui came with Gu Hanchen, Yu Xiaoxiao was likely to stir up trouble again.

Yuan Xi hastened over.

Gu Hanchen put his hand on Huo Shiyuan’s shoulder, “Shi Dazhuang, that’s not very brotherly of you. I thought you decided to invest in Mi Chen because you recognized my character and it was love at first sight. Why did you help Yuan Xi keep this from me?”

Huo Shiyuan replied slowly, “The only reason I invested in Mi Chen was to get closer to Yuan Xi.”

Gu Hanchen: “???”

Yu Xiaoxiao approached Liang Suisui and inquired, “Which family’s daughter are you? I don’t recall ever seeing you before. How did you come here with Gu Hanchen?”

Liang Suisui replied, “I’m Yuan Xi’s childhood friend. I happened to meet Mr. Gu on the way here.”

A young heiress who followed Chu Yan said, “I know her; her family owns a small cloth factory in Huxi Village. They supply fabric to one of our garment companies.”

With a wine glass in her hand, Chu Yan came over, her voice dripping with sarcasm, “Yuan Xi’s childhood friend? So, Miss Liang must be attending a city banquet for the first time, right? No wonder she’s wearing a knock-off dress.”
