I Became Super Rich After Resigning Chapter 184: 184 Secretary Cheng is Pregnant

Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Secretary Cheng is Pregnant

Yuan Xi logged out of the chat interface with Gu Hanchen and fell into a quandary.

Chu Lin’s engagent ceremony was fast approaching. If she did not attend, it would be akin to publicly declaring her discord with the Chu Family.

Yuan Xi indeed had disagreents with Chu Lin, but it wasn’t necessary to avoid such occasions altogether, even in front of her parents…

Huo Shiyuan looked at Yuan Xi and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yuan Xi sighed, “Chu Lin’s engagent is set for the Sunday after Qingming Festival. He wants to attend the engagent banquet… I guess I’ll go.”

After replying to Yang Ying’s ssage on her phone, Yuan Xi said to Huo Shiyuan, “I need to return to Jiang City during the Qingming Festival.”

Huo Shiyuan asked, “Chu Lin’s engagent?”

Yuan Xi nodded, “Yes, does the Huo Family also pay respects to ancestors during Qingming? If so, maybe I should return to Jiang City earlier to visit my parents’ graves.”

Huo Shiyuan replied, “Our ancestor worship will likely be before Qingming. We can go back to Jiang City on Qingming Day itself to tend to your parents’ graves.”

Yuan Xi had a quarterly morning eting today. Without waiting for An’an and Lele to wake up and say goodbye, she left early for the company.

On her way to the company.

Yuan Xi couldn’t help but be curious; she had t Secretary Cheng before. Whenever she saw Secretary Cheng, she was dressed in plain black, white, or gray, and always wore glasses. Now if Yuan Xi had to recall what Secretary Cheng looked like, she really couldn’t conjure a precise image.

She was like an invisible person—how could she suddenly be getting engaged to Chu Lin?

Depending on the relationship between Gu Hanchen and Chu Lin, Yuan Xi sent a ssage to Zhong Xiaoyi to inquire about it.

Zhong Xiaoyi soon called, “Chairman Yuan.”

Yuan Xi asked, “Why is Chu Lin’s engagent so sudden? Do you know the reason behind it?”

Zhong Xiaoyi replied, “This issue dates back to before the New Year. At the Chuneng Group’s annual party, Zhou Jiang drugged Junior President Chu, hoping to use it as a chance to climb into Mr. Chu Neng’s bed and secure the title of Crown Princess Consort Chu Neng.”

Yuan Xi was sowhat familiar with the na Zhou Jiang but did not expect her to be so bold.

“How could she dare? Doesn’t she know that it’s illegal?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “Taking a gamble, a bicycle might beco a motorbike. Zhou Jiang was raised under the eyes of the Chu family elders. If Chairman Chu and Mr. Yang knew that their son had slept with their subordinate’s daughter, they would definitely arrange for Zhou Jiang to marry into the Chu Family.”

“If Mr. Chu suspected he was drugged, they could just claim he was drunk. As long as the drug does not show up in the blood test, it would be fine.”

“But Zhou Jiang was unlucky. Perhaps because Secretary Cheng was too responsible at work, always shadowing Mr. Chu closely, Zhou Jiang couldn’t find an opportunity to approach him.”

“However, because she was overly diligent, she implicated herself. After feeling violated, Secretary Cheng reported it to the police.

The police conducted a blood test on Mr. Chu and confird he was drugged. Secretary Cheng then withdrew the case, otherwise Mr. Chu might still be in detention now.

As for Zhou Jiang, she is still in detention, waiting for the prosecution to officially file the charges.”

Listening to Zhong Xiaoyi’s gossip, Yuan Xi felt it was incredibly sensational, “I hadn’t heard about this at all.”

“Mr. Chu Neng carrying the accusation of coercing a female employee, having been imprisoned, this incident could only be tightly concealed by the Chu Family, even Mr. Gu didn’t know,”

“How did you find out?”

Zhong Xiaoyi replied, “You might not know this, but Nanny Zhang from the Chu family is my aunt. I was also curious why Mr. Chu would suddenly marry Secretary Cheng. My aunt only told , and Chairman Yuan, I’ve only told you this.”

“Actually, after Secretary Cheng called the police, she resigned and left the Chuneng Group.”

“The reason she is getting engaged now is that she was pregnant. A few days ago, when she went for an abortion, Mr. Yang and my aunt saw her. Mr. Yang then made an offer to Secretary Cheng to keep the baby.

Secretary Cheng was always reluctant to marry Mr. Chu, it was just that the offer from Mr. Yang was quite generous, it seed like Mr. Yang gave her all the Chuneng shares that she had.”

Yuan Xi said, “Chu Lin is just slightly better than Gu Hanchen, it’s understandable that Secretary Cheng doesn’t think highly of him.”

They are all nearly thirty, yet their ntal maturity is still not on par with Zhong Xiaoyi’s, especially Chu Lin who is easily swayed by won.

Yuan Xi couldn’t believe that Chu Lin was unaware of Zhou Jiang’s intention to beco Mrs. Chu, yet Chu Lin still got entangled with Zhou Jiang while pursuing Liang Suisui.

Yuan Xi suspected that Secretary Cheng’s calling the police wasn’t truly to see Chu Lin prosecuted; having been around Chu Lin for years, it’s unlikely she was unaware of his dubious character.

Perhaps she knew that if she didn’t call the police, following the Chu Family’s way, they would likely go easy on Zhou Jiang because of the long-standing relationships, even if they knew she had drugged soone.

Instead, Zhou Jiang would face the consequences she deserved in the detention center.

The quarterly eting started and lasted four hours.

At noon, Yuan Xi invited Liang Suisui to a Japanese restaurant that was quite private.

Liang Suisui said, “Why invite for Japanese food? You don’t like it, do you?”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly and said, “As long as you like it.”

Liang Suisui said, “It’s really nice of you, knowing I am tired from work and still treating to a al.”

After Liang Suisui had almost finished eating, Yuan Xi turned to her and said, “That thing with you and Chu Lin…”

Liang Suisui said, “Xiao Xi, why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?”

Yuan Xi said, “Didn’t Chu Lin use to pursue you?”

Liang Suisui said, “I rejected him long ago; it would be insane for to choose him after he repeatedly helped Chu Yan. How could I betray my friend, especially one who treats to a al that costs three thousand per person?”

“Thank you for getting rich and not forgetting .”

Yuan Xi chuckled, “Actually, the conflict between and Chu Lin has nothing to do with you and him.”

Liang Suisui said, “It’s not all for your sake either. Soone like him is way out of my league. It was hard not to be moved when he took out for fun.

I used to think my family wasn’t poor with assets worth forty to fifty million, which is quite a lot. But Chu Lin would spend that much on a car as easily as changing his shoes, gifting away watches worth over twenty million casually; that lifestyle is just too far away from .

My family struggles to make a few million a year, which is probably just the cost of a birthday party for Chu Lin.

He really looks down on the poor at heart.

Honestly, he and Huo Shiyuan are different. Huo Shiyuan grew up playing with us, he ate at roadside stalls with us; even though his wealth is much higher than Chu Lin’s, their upbringing is entirely different.

There’s no class barrier from childhood between you and Huo Shiyuan like there is between and Chu Lin.

Moreover, with my temperant, it’s hard to survive in a wealthy family, and I think Chu Lin was only intrigued by sothing new; he couldn’t genuinely pursue with humility, leaving behind his pride as the young master of the Chu Family. I better settle for a reliable son-in-law instead.”

Yuan Xi chuckled lightly, “Then I wish you find your ideal partner soon.”
