Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Going to Mi Chen to Ask Yuan Xi for Money
Chu Qing frowned and looked toward the entrance, “Nanny Zhang, what’s that noise outside?”
Nanny Zhang said, “A whole bunch of people have arrived, claiming to be the young mistress’s relatives—uncles, aunts, cousins, and whatnot. They’re outside making a fuss, demanding to see the young mistress and all of you.
Among them, there are two elders who look to be over eighty. They’re insisting on forcing their way in while holding up their cellphones and recording video, saying if the bodyguards dare to touch the elders, they’ll post on TikTok that Chu’s bodyguards are beating up old people.”
Hearing the ruckus outside, Chu Yan asked, “The young mistress’s relatives? My sister’s relatives?”
Yang Ying and Chu Qing both grimaced and walked toward the mansion’s entrance.
“Is Yuan Xi here? Yuan Xi is only here because we raised her. If it weren’t for our family saving her, she would have drowned a long ti ago!”
...
“We raised Yuan Xi until now, and now that she’s playing daughter to the big boss, giving us fifty or sixty million is just a drop in the bucket for Chuneng Group.”
Chu Qing and Yang Ying could understand the dialect being yelled at the entrance and furrowed their brows tightly.
The butler walked up to Chu Qing and said, “Chairman Chu.”
Hearing ‘Chairman Chu,’ Mr. Yuan started to shout loudly, “Boss Chu, the fact that Yuan Xi is alive and back in your family is all thanks to us. We saved your daughter, so a sum of fifty or sixty million isn’t too much to ask for!”
“Now that Yuan Xi has beco the daughter of a rich family, we raised her until she was twenty-six. Fifty or sixty million isn’t asking for too much.”
Yang Ying glanced at the Yuan Family crowd in front of her, listening to their initial demands for fifty or sixty million and noticing the greed in their eyes, she frowned deeply.
Chu Yan snorted lightly on the side. So, Yuan Xi grew up in this kind of family? This will be quite the show.
Chu Qing pulled out his phone and called Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan had just left.
Xiao Shihuo had changed into the new uniform that his school had issued, looking adorable in his short-sleeved shirt and tie.
Yuan Xi patted Xiao Shihuo’s head, feeling as if she was experiencing motherhood in advance; she was really looking forward to her future children being like Xiao Shihuo.
Xiao Shihuo took Yuan Xi’s hand and said, “Sister, co ho from work early today, okay?”
Yuan Xi chuckled lightly, “Mm.”
Right after Yuan Xi got into the car and sat in the passenger seat, she received a call from Chu Qing.
Listening to Chu Qing’s words on the other end of the phone, Yuan Xi spoke with furrowed brows, “Dad, don’t give them any money, don’t bother with them.”
Then Yang Ying’s voice ca from the other end, “Xinxin, can you co over here? They’re blocking our cars, and we can’t get out.”
“Mom, if they keep pestering at the entrance, just call the police.”
After saying the four words ‘just call the police,’ Yuan Xi hung up the phone, looking out at the scenery flashing by the car window.
Huo Shiyuan, who was driving, asked, “What happened?”
Yuan Xi said, “My grandparents went to Chu’s Mansion to ask for money.”
Huo Shiyuan snorted, “They really have the nerve to go? Aren’t they afraid of losing face?”
Yuan Xi closed her eyes and said, “They won’t think what they’re doing is shaful.”
Back then, when they seized the compensation and inheritance left by her adoptive parents, they were brazen about it and never felt they had done anything wrong.
They even said that even if she were their biological daughter, as a girl, she had no right to inherit property from the family.
Back then, many neighbors felt injustice on Yuan Xi’s behalf, and Liang Suisui’s parents spoke up for her, only to be berated by her grandmother.
Huo Shiyuan glanced over at Yuan Xi at the red light, “Don’t let it get to you.”
Yuan Xi sighed, “So much has happened this year, feels like there hasn’t been a break from all the troubling matters.”
Huo Shiyuan said, “During Dragon Boat Festival, I’ll take you out for so fun, to clear your mind.”
Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan, “It depends on whether there’s anything urgent at the company at that ti.”
Huo Shiyuan said, “Then I’ll prepare in advance. Do you want to go to the beach?”
Xiao Shihuo nodded eagerly from behind, “Yes, yes, yes! I want to ride a jet ski! Go surfing!”
Huo Shiyuan said, “I’m not bringing you along.”
Xiao Shihuo’s eyes imdiately filled with tears, “Mommy and Daddy don’t want Huohuo, big brother doesn’t want Huohuo either, wuu…”
Yuan Xi quickly turned her head, “No, we do want you, we will take Huohuo to have fun.”
Xiao Shihuo’s tears turned to laughter instantly, blowing Yuan Xi a kiss, “Muah, sister is so nice.”
Yuan Xi looked at Xiao Shihuo’s expression and chuckled lightly, “Let’s go to the beach then. Indeed, it’s been a long ti since I last went to the beach.”
The last ti she went to the beach was during the sumr break after her college entrance exam, and she had not been to the beach since then.
At the entrance to Chu’s Mansion.
Yang Ying frowned at the hung-up phone and turned to the group of people in front of her, “Leave quickly, or I’ll call the police.”
“Boss Chu, Ma’am, with all your wealth, are you really not willing to give even fifty or sixty million for your eldest daughter? I heard that the dowry you gave to your adopted daughter is ten billion. We’re only asking you for fifty or sixty million.”
“That’s right, we checked the price of the car your son drove to our village yesterday. That car alone is worth over thirty million. Does your son’s car matter more to you than your eldest daughter’s life?”
Chu Yan said to Yang Ying and Chu Qing, “Dad, Mom, just give them the money. If you give them the money, sister will definitely be willing to co back.”
Yang Ying, looking at the faces of the people in front of her, really didn’t want to give them any money, “I won’t give it. They’re using Xinxin to demand money, and I’m not going to give in.”
Yang Ying had the butler call the police.
The police arrived very quickly, and when the Yuan family saw them, they asked the officers to make a judgnt.
“Please, make a judgnt. We raised their daughter for twenty-five years, and now they happily acknowledge her back. My poor son and daughter-in-law had an accident trying to earn tuition fees for Yuan Xi, asking for forty or fifty million from them is hardly too much!”
The police looked at the Yuan family in front of them, “If you want money, you should go through legal channels, not like this. Co on, disperse.”
But the Yuan family refused to leave.
Chu Yan saw Chu Qing and Yang Ying’s car leaving the estate through the back gate.
Chu Yan then approached Mr. Yuan, who was being pushed away by the police:
“Grandpa Yuan, Grandma Yuan, looking for my parents is useless. Just now, my parents called Yuan Xi, and it must be that Yuan Xi isn’t willing to give you the money. You should go find Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi is now the Vice President of Mi Chen Ga, with an annual salary of several million. She also owns shares in Mi Chen, which are worth about one billion according to current estimates, and may be even more after the IPO.
If Yuan Xi doesn’t allow my parents to give you the money, then there’s no use looking for them here. You should go to Michen Company and find Yuan Xi, asking for her to provide for you.”
Yuan Jiao approached Mr. Yuan and said, “Grandpa, she’s making sense. Let’s make a scene at Yuan Xi’s company. Mi Chen Ga is a huge company, and Yuan Xi is a Vice President—how could she lack money? We should ask Yuan Xi for the money.”
Chu Yan watched their departing figures with a sneering laughter.
Yuan Xi, with these unrefined relatives, was only fit for marrying so villager.
Otherwise, how could anyone from the wealthy circles of Jiang City tolerate a daughter-in-law with such a greedy bunch of relatives demanding money?
Today’s Michen sure was bustling with excitent.
