Chapter 14 I Don't Like Chu Yan

Yang Ying looked at Yuan Xi's belly in surprise: "Pregnant? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Sit down quickly."

After Yuan Xi took her seat, she said, "I didn't want to say more before it was three months, but now I'm five weeks pregnant."

Chu Lin looked at Yuan Xi and said, "You are so busy with work on weekdays, how can you find time to fall in love, get married and have children?"

Yuan Xi said: "Yeah."

Mrs. Bo said, "Congratulations! Didn't Bo Fan say that your house was going to be demolished? You can get extra compensation for the demolition fee if you are pregnant."

Yuan Xi heard a hint of contempt in Mrs. Bo's words.

Chu Yan felt guilty from the bottom of her heart. She was originally afraid that Yuan Xi would snatch Bo Fan away, but now she knew that she would not snatch Bo Fan away. However, she married a rural man and had a child, and she had to rely on demolition to buy a house in the city. She felt a little sorry for Yuan Xi.

During the meal, Yang Ying took good care of Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi looked at the table full of delicious dishes, but she didn't have much appetite. She missed the dishes cooked by the chef in the mansion even more.

After finishing the meal, Yuan Xi stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going back first."

Yang Ying said, "Isn't tomorrow the weekend? I'll talk to Han Chen and tell him to give you a day off. You can just stay at home."

Yuan Xi smiled faintly and said, "Mom, I'd better go home."

Chu Qing stood up and said to Yuan Xi, "Xin'er, are you still blaming us? After you came back, you didn't even have a good talk with us, and didn't talk to us about how we missed your growing up time."

Yuan Xi said: "I think you have already heard everything about me. In fact, I lived a pretty good life in my adoptive parents' home for the first 18 years. Although my adoptive parents are not as rich as you, they also have their own small factory. I can be considered an only child who grew up without worries about food and clothing.

They were very good to me. If my adoptive parents hadn't had an accident, I would never have thought that I was not their biological child.

Life was a little harder after I turned 18, but I had some very good friends and classmates who helped me a lot. After graduation, I also smoothly joined Michen and worked as Gu Hanchen's secretary. You can find all the information about Michen's development on the Internet."

Yang Ying said with red eyes: "As long as you are doing well, we have been thinking about you day and night all these years. We adopted Yanyan in the hope that you can meet kind people and accumulate blessings for you. Now that we hear you say that your adoptive parents treat you well, we are relieved."

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Well, I'll go first."

Chu Lin said: "I'll take you there?"

Yuan Xi said: "No need, I'll take a taxi..."

"Let me take you there." Chu Lin said with certainty.

Yuan Xi did not refuse. He got into Chu Lin's car and turned on the navigation on his mobile phone.

Chu Lin glanced at Yuan Xi and said, "Actually, I've been drinking and crying every night these past few days. I feel so guilty about you. Now that you're pregnant, you should understand how I feel about you, right?"

Yuan Xi said: "I know, but I'm not a child anymore. I've been struggling in Mi Chen for five years. You want me to hug my mother and cry, but I'm sorry I can't do it."

"Is it because of Yanyan's existence? I can see that you don't seem to like Yanyan very much." Chu Lin said, "In fact, Yanyan..."

Yuan Xi was straightforward: "Chu Yan is not money, it's impossible for everyone to like her, right? So what if I don't like her?"

She couldn't pretend to have any false sisterhood with Chu Yan, especially since Chu Yan broke her jade bracelet today.

"Actually, Yanyan is a very kind person..."

Yuan Xi said: "Stop at the intersection ahead, I'll get off at the intersection ahead."

Chu Lin frowned and said, "I won't mention Yanyan."

"No, my husband's car is right in front."

Yuan Xi saw his Panamera parked on the side of the road.

Chu Lin stepped on the brakes to stop, and walked to the side of the Panamera with Yuan Xi. He saw a handsome man sitting in the back seat, who looked very young.

After Huo Shiyan got out of the car, he looked at the man next to Yuan Xi and asked, "Yuan Xi, what is this?"

"My brother, Chu Lin."

"Brother." Huo Shiyan looked at Chu Lin and called out softly.

Chu Lin looked at Huo Shiyan's appearance and felt that Huo Shiyan was more than a good match for Yuan Xi.

Chu Lin took a look at Huo Shiyan's clothes and the cheap Apple watch he was wearing, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. "Is this car yours?"

Huo Shiyan said: "No, it's Yuan Xi's. My car was hit." "Is everyone okay?" Yuan Xi asked.

"No one is fine. I wasn't driving at the time."

Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that everything is fine. I can buy a car this weekend when I have some free time. This car is not suitable for me to drive during my pregnancy."

Huo Shiyan asked: "What do you think of Ou Lu?"

Yuan Xi thought for a moment and said, "Isn't the European continent a bit too expensive? I'm going to be out of work soon."

Huo Shiyan smiled faintly, "After Michen goes public, you will still have shares. Based on the money you can get from your shares, a Continental will be a piece of cake."

Chu Lin frowned as he listened to the words of the man in front of him, and in his heart he thought of him as a Phoenix man who lived off his wife.

After all, Yuan Xi has been with Gu Hanchen for five years and has seen all kinds of young talents. How could she be deceived by a pretty boy?

"Brother, we're leaving first."

Yuan Xi got on the passenger seat and waved at Chu Lin.

Chu Lin looked at Panamera going away and frowned tightly.

In the car.

Yuan Xi asked, "I heard from Bo Fan that Shiyi Group is going to develop Ruo Lake?"

Shiyi Group is the Huo family's industry. It was founded by Huo Shiyan's great-grandfather. Today, it is the largest five-star hotel group in the country and has hotel projects in various places abroad. Shiyi Group also includes high-end resorts and other businesses.

Huo Shiyan nodded and said, "He is well-informed. It won't be long before the evaluation is completed and demolition negotiations will begin. Several large villages around Raoruo Lake will basically be demolished. The construction and renovation time of the project should be about five years. When our children grow up, we can bring them here to play."

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan and said, "What about Huxi Village? Will it be demolished as well? What about the cemetery in Huxi Village?"

"They will all be demolished." Huo Shiyan said, "If the progress is fast, the demolition will start next year. What's the matter?"

"I have lived in Huxi Village for 18 years. I would be reluctant to see it demolished."

Huo Shiyan said: "If the Ruohu Mansion where we live now is not demolished, there will be plenty of opportunities to come back in the future."

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Yes."

Yuan Xi sent a message to her girlfriends group in the car, wanting to get together tomorrow.

But she finally stopped being busy. Liang Suisui and Chen Yuan were both busy on Saturday, so the plan to get together had to be put on hold.

……

When Chu Lin returned to the Chu family, Yang Yinglian asked, "Did you send your sister home? Why did you come back so soon?"

"I met her husband on the way."

Chu Yan hurriedly asked: "Brother, how is my sister's husband?"

"He looks like a disaster for the country and the people." Chu Lin said.

Bo Fan listened to Chu Lin's description and smiled faintly, "What kind of description are you making?"

Chu Lin said: "He has such a good-looking appearance that you, Fan Yan, can sign him. He doesn't even need any packaging to be among the top male stars."

"Is my brother-in-law so handsome?" Chu Yan asked curiously, "Do you have a photo?"

Bo Fan said, "Come to think of it, when I ran into Yuan Xi in the mall a few days ago, I also saw a man who looked just like what you described. Could it be him? He was wearing an Apple Watch?"

"That's him." Chu Lin said, "There aren't many people in the entertainment industry who can compete with him in terms of looks. No wonder Yuan Xi was blinded and married into the village."

"He's good-looking, but he's just a gigolo with no ability. He even tried to use Yuan Xi and Mi Chen's unlisted shares to buy Euro. He didn't even think about buying an apartment in the city, but a luxury car."

Chu Yan said: "Sister is so pitiful. How could she marry such a short-sighted man?"

Yang Ying frowned and felt very unhappy, but she didn't dare to say anything to Yuan Xi now. She could feel that there was still a gap between Yuan Xi and them.

Yuan Xi's interactions with the Chu family were just those of a proper secretary.
