I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 30 - Yuan Xi, Apologize to Yanyan

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Yuan Xi, Apologize to Yanyan

Liang Suisui looked at Chu Yan standing in front of her, “Ha? Are you saying my gown is a counterfeit?”

Chu Yan sneered, “Isn’t it? I understand you’re my sister’s friend from the village, unfamiliar with high society. This gown is worth a million, requires a three-month lead time for custom fitting, how could you possibly have ordered this gown three months ago?”

Yuan Xi walked up to Liang Suisui and said to Chu Yan, “Chu Yan, that’s enough!”

Looking up at Yuan Xi, Chu Yan said, “Sister, I’m doing this for your own good. Your friend showing up in a counterfeit gown reflects poorly on your reputation, and it’s a knockoff of Elie Saab, no less. It’s ridiculous; hurry and have her change it.”

Yu Xiao said, “Yuan Xi, you must be so capable, introducing your friend to Gu Hanchen after you got married, right? Dream on! Yanyan prepared last year’s haute couture gown for you and you refused it. It’s one thing for you to wear a gown that’s a plagiarized knockoff, but for your friend to wear one too, trying to snag Gu Hanchen without spending a dime?”

Liang Suisui laughed angrily, “So this is what a high-class banquet at the home of Jiangcheng’s Richest Man is like? Aunt Xian at the village gate has far better manners than they do.”

The young heiresses consoled Chu Yan by her side:

“Once the poor suddenly get rich, they surely aim for the finest, yet don’t realize that the finest gowns aren’t meant for people of their class.”

“Yanyan, don’t get upset, a fake will never measure up to the real thing.”

“Yes, Miss Chu, don’t worry, I’ll get my dad to cancel the cooperation with their little textile mill as soon as I get back.”

Sneering, Liang Suisui said, “Cancel the cooperation with our little textile mill? Settle your debt first. Your family owes us three million already. Why do the big textile mills refuse to work with you? Because they demand immediate cash payment. Does your family even have the cash to settle accounts? Turns out, this is all the followers surrounding the rich heiress can amount to.”

Chu Yan’s voice turned cold, “It’s just three million. Take off that counterfeit gown right now!”

Chen Yuan, hot-tempered, said to Chu Yan, “Suisui won’t take it off. The gown Suisui is wearing is no counterfeit. You keep harping on about fakes and knockoffs. I really want to ask, what right do you have to talk about counterfeits? Are you real? Are you the real heiress of the Chu Family? Your real parents aren’t here, your real family isn’t here. Have you played the role of the fake daughter in the Chu Family for so long that everything looks fake to you?”

Chu Yan, trembling with rage, poured her glass of red wine over Liang Suisui’s gown, staining it with wine.

Liang Suisui was furious, also feeling an agonizing sense of guilt and distress.

Yuan Xi stepped forward, took the wine glass from Gu Hanchen, who was watching the commotion, and poured it over Chu Yan’s head. The wine ran down Chu Yan’s carefully done makeup.

Chu Yan screamed, “Ah! Yuan Xi, what are you doing?”

The commotion caught the attention of the older generation nearby.

Chu Lin and Bo Fan hurried over.

When Chu Lin saw the wine glass in Yuan Xi’s hand, he shouted, “Yuan Xi, what is this nonsense? How could you pour wine on Yanyan’s head? Bo Fan…”

Bo Fan took off his suit jacket, put it on Chu Yan, and pulled the crying Chu Yan into his arms, “Yuan Xi… today is your homecoming banquet, a joyous day for the Chu Family. After being missing for twenty-five years, why must you bully Yanyan like this?”

Gu Hanchen also took off his jacket, gave it to Yuan Xi, and his protective gesture towards Yuan Xi was very clear.

Yuan Xi held a suit jacket for Liang Suisui, whose dress had been soaked in red wine.

Chu Yan, her head drenched in red wine, cried with sniffling, “Bo Fan, big brother, I thought if I treated my sister with a sincere heart, we could get along. I know it’s like I stole a life of luxury from her for twenty-five years, which is why I’ve been trying my hardest to make up for it.

Even though sister said she didn’t need a designer dress, I still kindly tried my best to purchase a haute couture piece for her. I wanted her to dazzle at the event, the same dress that Chao Qing wore to the awards ceremony that made her famous, which I bought specially for 300,000 yuan. But she disdainfully refused it, choosing to wear a knock-off instead…”

Chu Yan grew increasingly aggrieved as she spoke, her tears becoming more heart-wrenching, “Her friend even wore the same knock-off gown as me. I felt it wasn’t right for my sister’s friend to so brazenly wear a counterfeit brand, so I criticized her, but then another of my sister’s friends called me the fake, said I’m not the real daughter of the Chu Family.”

Chu Lin said, “Who says you’re not a real daughter of the Chu Family? You are our true daughter, and even after Yuan Xi returned to the Chu Family, that fact hasn’t changed.”

Both Chu Qing and Yang Ying, hearing Chu Yan’s anguish, came over, their faces also filled with sympathy upon hearing Chu Yan’s tearful accusations.

Chu Yan lowered her voice, “I was so angry at being called a fake that I poured red wine on my sister’s friend…”

Chu Yan then raised her voice and pointed at Yuan Xi, “And then my sister, she poured red wine on my head too. Sister, I’ve always wanted to make up for what mom and dad did to you, but you, from the start of today, you’ve been picking on me…”

Chu Yan felt so aggrieved that many present felt sorry for her.

Chu Lin looked at Yuan Xi and said, “Yuan Xi, apologize to Yanyan.”

Chen Yuan whispered into Liang Suisui’s ear, “Yuan Xi’s own brother, the young master of the Chu Family, sure is handsome, but he’s not too bright.”

Gu Hanchen looked at Chen Yuan appreciatively and said, “You got that right.”

Gu Hanchen walked up to Yuan Xi and said, “Apologize? Is Chu Lin deaf? Chu Yan was the one who first splashed red wine on Yuan Xi’s friend, and she doesn’t apologize but demands one from Yuan Xi? You’re bullying its way to my doorstep?”

Yuan Xi took a deep breath, “Chu Yan, you’re right, have you ever kept quiet since this morning? The issue of my pollen allergy could’ve been easily resolved by changing the floral arrangements, yet you purposely kept bringing it up, saying you’re voicing your grievances for staying up for me. Don’t you find it laughable that you didn’t communicate this in advance?”

Gu Hanchen said, “Laughable indeed! At Yuan Xi’s welcome-back party, isn’t it ridiculous that no one bothered to ask how things should be arranged or about her taboos?”

Gu Hanchen then faked a few loud laughs at the right moment.

Yuan Xi continued, “As for you saying you prepared a dress for me… Chu Yan, I’ve been to functions for the past five years and often saw you. During these five years, have you ever worn a dress that was the same model as a celebrity’s? Have you worn last season’s dresses? What right do you have to make me wear outdated haute couture a celebrity has already worn?”

Gu Hanchen said, “Huh? Chu Yan actually made you wear second-hand clothes that a celebrity had worn? Chu Lin, Uncle Chu, Aunt Yang, is the Chu Family so poor that even the true heiress returned only to wear second-hand celebrity clothes?

When Yuan Xi attends functions with me, she never wears outfits that celebrities have worn before. Has the Chu Family become that poor?”

All the guests’ eyes turned to Chu Yan, who was in Bo Fan’s arms.

Bo Fan loosened his hold on Chu Yan a bit.

Chu Yan hastily tried to explain, “Brother Hanchen, it was because there wasn’t enough time for my sister’s welcome-back party to custom-make a brand-new haute couture gown, so I had to buy a second-hand one that a celebrity had worn…

It’s wasn’t that I didn’t want to provide her with a new gown, if there had been enough time, I would definitely have custom-ordered a new one for my sister.

Sister, even if you care so much about the second-hand celebrity gown, you shouldn’t be wearing a knock-off. And after I spoke up about the shame of wearing counterfeits, you didn’t change out of your dress, but instead allowed your friend to insult me…”
