Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Everything Chu Yan Has is Thanks to Yuan Xi
Chu Lin said, “Alright, indeed Grandpa has been sick and discharged from the hospital, and I haven’t visited him yet. I’ll go speak with Yuan Xi about it.”
Chu Lin walked over to where Yuan Xi was surrounded by three cousins.
Yuan Xi was generously giving out ga skins and equipnt to her three cousins.
“Thank you, cousin! Mwah!”
An eight-year-old cousin kissed Yuan Xi after receiving a favorite skin.
Yuan Xi smiled faintly. Being pregnant, she simply had no resistance to such adorable girls.
Chu Lin frowned and said, “Yuan Xi, she is only eight years old and it’s not the age to be playing online gas. And yet you’re giving her skins. Isn’t this encouraging her obsession with gaming? You’re harming her.”
Yuan Xi said, “Even though I no longer play gas now, I too grew up playing Obi Island and 4399. It didn’t stop from getting into Jiang University. I’ve always believed that a child’s addiction to gas isn’t due to the gas themselves, but rather the lack of proper guidance from parents. I believe my uncle and aunt will manage my cousin well, and won’t let her be consud by gas.”
The little cousin nodded and said, “Yeah, I only play during the weekends for a little while, cousin. I’m very good, I won’t get addicted to the gas.”
Chu Lin, still displeased, said to Yuan Xi, “Tomorrow you’ll take John to Grandpa and Grandma’s for lunch.”
Yuan Xi frowned slightly upon hearing Chu Lin’s instruction.
Yang Kexin interjected, “Brother, did you forget? Tomorrow I am supposed to go see Diamond at cousin’s place, if you ask her to go for lunch at Grandpa Chu’s, what about ?”
Chu Lin said, “You can go together.”
Yuan Xi said, “Sorry, I’m not free.”
Chu Lin frowned and said, “Isn’t tomorrow Sunday? You don’t have to work.”
Yuan Xi said, “Oh, so basically I just don’t want to see you both days of my weekend off.”
Yang Kexin, sensing the awkward atmosphere between the siblings, didn’t mind stirring the pot, “Cousin, why don’t you want to see your brother? Do you dislike him?”
With Yang Kexin asking this, everyone at the table turned to look.
Yuan Xi nodded without hiding her distaste for Chu Lin, “Yes.”
MR. Chu and Yang Ying frowned at Chu Lin.
Mr. Chu said sternly, “Xiao Lin, what have you done to your sister?”
Huo Shiyuan said evenly, “He called Yuan Xi sensitive and petty…”
Yang Ying stood up and gave Chu Lin a sharp clap on the shoulder, “How could you say things like that about your sister? Apologize at once!”
Huo Shiyuan continued calmly, “He also threatened a cousin from the Liang Family who is about to sit for college entrance exams, saying that Grandpa and the principal of Ren’an Middle School are good friends. This cousin is studying at Ren’an Middle School, and even threatened the future of a student about to take his exams.”
Yang Zhang frowned heavily at Chu Lin, his face also showing displeasure, “There are only a few days left until the exams, and you’re threatening a student?”
Old Sir Yang was also furious, “Are you tarnishing Grandpa’s reputation in this way?”
Yang Ying was angrily reprimanding Chu Lin.
Faced with the rebukes from the elder family mbers, all Chu Lin could do was bow his head and apologize to Yuan Xi, “I’m sorry, Sister.”
Yuan Xi said, “Mr. Chu, please don’t call that, I’m not your sister, Chu Yan is your sister.”
Chu Lin frowned and said, “Must you be so unrelenting when you’re right?”
Yuan Xi said, “You even realize I am right?”
Yuan Xi then stood up and said, “Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, it’s getting late. We’ll be taking our leave now.”
Yang Zhang also stood up, sending off Huo Shiyuan and Yuan Xi, “The way you talked to Chu Lin just now reminds of your mom when she was young. Drive safely and let us know when you get ho.”
Yuan Xi smiled faintly, “Will do.”
After getting in the car.
Huo Shiyuan said to Yuan Xi, “The Yang Family elders will teach Chu Lin a good lesson for you.”
Yuan Xi replied with a soft smile, “Hmm, if my cousin is coming over tomorrow, will there be any inconvenience at ho?”
Actually, Yuan Xi herself had not really explored the Ruohu Mansion; she dared not enter many of the rooms at will.
Huo Shiyuan responded, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any inconvenience.”
…
Inside Jiangye, the dim light flickered on the side of Chu Lin’s face as he drank.
Gu Hanchen watched Chu Lin drown his sorrows in alcohol and said, “Didn’t you go to your grandpa’s house today? From the look on your face, it seems you got a scolding?”
Chu Lin frowned and replied, “I never realized before how touchy and petty Yuan Xi’s temper was.”
Gu Hanchen kicked Chu Lin, “How is Yuan Xi touchy and petty? Yuan Xi has a great temper; there’s not a single person in Mi Chen who dislikes her.”
Yuan Xi treated people gently; even when there were mistakes at work, she never scolded anyone. Instead, she gently pointed out what was wrong and where improvents were needed. The staff under Mi Chen liked Yuan Xi much more than they liked him.
Chu Lin scoffed, “Yuan Xi has a good temper? Compared to Yanyan, she falls far short. At least Yanyan is never so sensitive and insecure. Being with sensitive people is really exhausting.”
Gu Hanchen frowned and glared at Chu Lin, “Chu Lin, get sothing straight. Who is your biological sister? She was lost for twenty-five years; you have no idea what a tough life she had when she first ca to Mi Chen.
Back then, Mi Chen didn’t have a cafeteria, and al and transport allowances were only given out at the end of the month. She ate ten yuan Shaxian als from downstairs every day for several months, and it’s a wonder she didn’t get sick of it.
Sotis she finished work at eleven o’clock, and if she couldn’t return to the school dorm, she would sleep on the floor at the office, just like those programrs. There were only two or three girls who stayed overnight at the company, and those were the programrs who needed to get up at any ti to fix bugs. Yuan Xi was the only one from the administrative staff who stayed overnight at the company.
Her salary wasn’t high at the start, and she ntioned having to pay her tuition fees. It wasn’t until Forest Pursuit beca a big hit and Mi Chen’s earnings increased that her salary rose a bit. After she graduated and no longer had a dorm to stay in, she moved ten kiloters away to rent an inexpensive small apartnt. She rushed to catch the last subway every day.
Sotis, when she missed the last subway due to working late, she rode a bicycle ho. I didn’t like seeing her pinch and scrape like that, so I simply gave her a high salary and year-end bonus to make her life easier.
And what about Chu Yan during that ti? She was either attending various Fashion Weeks or dinner invitations from various brands, carefree and happy, shopping as much as she liked. You really shouldn’t compare Chu Yan and Yuan Xi.
Everything Chu Yan has, rightfully belonged to Yuan Xi.
If Yuan Xi had not been taken away, would your family have adopted Chu Yan? Would she have had such a good life?
Everything Chu Yan has is thanks to Yuan Xi, and now you say Yuan Xi isn’t as good as Chu Yan? Are you sick? Seriously sick?”
Gu Hanchen was so angry he didn’t even care about their brotherhood anymore.
Chu Lin gripped his glass tightly, “Give Yuan Xi’s card number.”
…
The next day.
Yuan Xi woke up around nine o’clock and didn’t see Huo Shiyuan next to her. She picked up her phone and responded to several ssages.
After replying, Yuan Xi got out of bed to wash up.
While brushing her teeth, she glanced at a text ssage from her bank, saw the long string of digits transferred into her account, and counted the zeros—eight million…
Who sent her such a large sum in the middle of the night?
Yuan Xi opened a WeChat ssage from Gu Hanchen.
Mi Chen’s Handsost: Your brother transferred eight million to you. Rember to treat us on Monday!
Mi Chen’s Handsost: Your brother said you blocked him on WeChat. He asked to tell you to rember to have lunch at Grandpa and Grandma’s house tomorrow.
Mi Chen’s Handsost: Eight million for a al, what a deal! Under my reprimand, your brother has deeply realized his mistake. Let’s forgive him this ti for the sake of our elders!
Mi Chen’s Handsost: Do a favor— if not for my sake, then for the sake of eight million [smile].
When Huo Shiyuan ca over and saw Yuan Xi was already up, he glanced at the ssages on her phone and asked, “Are you going?”
Yuan Xi looked back at Huo Shiyuan, “Let’s go. For the sake of eight million, we can donate a school to the children in the mountains.”
Money obtained so easily, instead of using it to buy Chu Lin luxury cars and watches, why not donate it to the children left behind in impoverished mountain areas?
