Chapter 184 The Secretary is Pregnant
After Yuan Xi exited the chat interface with Gu Hanchen, he was in a dilemma.

If she did not attend Chu Lin's engagement ceremony, it would be tantamount to telling the public that she and the Chu family were not in harmony.

Yuan Xi was indeed at odds with Chu Lin, but there was no need for her parents to not attend such an occasion...

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yuan Xi sighed and said, "Chu Lin is getting engaged on the Sunday after Qingming Festival, and he wants me to attend the engagement party... I'd better go."

After Yuan Xi replied to Yang Ying's message on his phone, he said to Huo Shiyan, "I have to go back to Jiangcheng during the Qingming Festival."

Huo Shiyan asked: "Chu Lin is engaged?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Well, does the Huo family also worship their ancestors on Qingming Festival? If so, why don't I go back to Jiangcheng in advance to visit my parents' graves."

Huo Shiyan said: "The ancestor worship should be before Qingming Festival. We can go back to Jiangcheng on Qingming Festival to sweep the graves of Yuan's father and mother."

Yuan Xi had a quarterly morning meeting this morning, so without waiting for An An Lele to wake up and say goodbye to them, Yuan Xi went to the company early.

On the way to the company.

Yuan Xi really couldn't help being curious. She had seen Secretary Cheng before. When she met Secretary Cheng, she was usually dressed in black, white and grey. Secretary Cheng also wore glasses all year round. Now, if Yuan Xi was asked to remember what she looked like, Yuan Xi really couldn't think of an exact image for a while.

She was like a transparent person, so why was she suddenly getting engaged to Chu Lin?
Depending on the relationship between Gu Hanchen and Chu Lin, Yuan Xi sent a message to Zhong Xiaoyi to find out the news.

Zhong Xiaoyi called quickly, "Director Yuan."

Yuan Xi asked: "Why did the news of Chu Lin's engagement come out so suddenly? Do you know the reason?"

Zhong Xiaoyi said: "This matter started before the Chinese New Year. At the annual meeting of Chu Neng Group before the Chinese New Year, Zhou Jiameng drugged Mr. Chu, hoping to climb into the bed of Crown Prince Chu Neng and establish the title of Crown Princess of Chu Neng."

Yuan Xi was somewhat familiar with the name Zhou Jiameng, but she did not expect Zhou Jiameng to be so bold.

"How dare she? Doesn't she know it's against the law?"

Zhong Xiaoyi said: "Let's try and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. Zhou Jiameng was raised by the elders of the Chu family. If Director Chu and General Manager Yang knew that their son slept with the daughter of one of their subordinates, they would definitely let Zhou Jiameng enter your Chu family."

"At worst, if Mr. Chu suspects that he was drugged, we can just say that he was drunk and wait until the drug's effects in his blood can't be detected."

"But Zhou Jiameng was unlucky. It should be because Secretary Cheng was more responsible for his work and stayed close to Mr. Chu, so he didn't give Zhou Jiameng any chance to get close to him."

"But because she was too responsible at work, she got herself involved. After Secretary Cheng felt violated, she called the police.

The police took Mr. Chu's blood and confirmed that he had been drugged, so Secretary Cheng dropped the case. Otherwise, Mr. Chu might still be in the detention room.

Zhou Jiameng is still in the detention room. We have to wait for the prosecutor to make the final decision on when she will be formally sentenced."

Yuan Xi listened to the gossip that Zhong Xiaoyi told and couldn't help but feel that it was too explosive. "I haven't heard of this at all."

"Prince Chu Neng was charged with forcing a female employee around him and was imprisoned. The Chu family had to keep this a secret, and even Mr. Gu didn't know about it."

"Then how do you know?"

Zhong Xiaoyi said, "You don't know yet? Aunt Zhang from the Chu family is my aunt. I am also very curious why President Chu suddenly married Secretary Cheng. My aunt only told me. President Yuan, I only told you about this matter."

"Actually, after Secretary Cheng called the police, she resigned and left Chu Neng." "The reason they are getting engaged now is because she is pregnant. When she went to get an abortion a few days ago, she was seen by General Manager Yang and my aunt. General Manager Yang negotiated with Secretary Cheng to keep the child.

Secretary Cheng has always been reluctant to marry Mr. Chu, but Mr. Yang offered a generous condition. It seems that Mr. Yang gave all her Chu Energy shares to Secretary Cheng. "

Yuan Xi said: "Chu Lin is only slightly better than Gu Hanchen. It's reasonable for Secretary Cheng to look down on him."

They were all nearly thirty years old, but they were not as mature as Zhong Xiaoyi in their hearts, especially Chu Lin, who was easily deceived by women.

Yuan Xi didn't believe that Chu Lin didn't know Zhou Jiameng's intention to become Chu Lin's wife, but when Chu Lin was pursuing Liang Suisui, he was still entangled with Zhou Jiameng.

Yuan Xi even suspected that Secretary Cheng called the police not really for the purpose of bringing Chu Lin to justice. She had been with Chu Lin for so many years that she must have known that something was wrong with Chu Lin.

Perhaps they knew that if they didn't call the police, the Chu family would definitely take into account the feelings of their long-time subordinates and would let Zhou Jiameng off even if they knew she had drugged him.

It won’t be like this. Zhou Jiameng will pay the price he deserves in the detention room.

The quarterly meeting lasted four hours.

At noon, Yuan Xi made an appointment with Liang Suisui to go to a more private Japanese restaurant.

Liang Suisui asked, "Why did you ask me to come and eat Japanese food? Don't you dislike Japanese food?"

Yuan Xi smiled faintly and said, "As long as you like it."

Liang Suisui said: "Sisters are so nice. They know I'm tired from work and still treat me to a meal."

Seeing that Liang Suisui had almost finished eating, Yuan Xi said to Liang Suisui, "Well, you and Chu Lin..."

Liang Suisui asked, "Xiao Xi, why are you asking this suddenly?"

Yuan Xi asked: "Didn't Chu Lin pursue you before?"

Liang Suisui said: "I refused a long time ago. He has helped Chu Yan again and again, and I still chose him. I am also stupid. How could I let my sisters down, especially my sisters who treated me to 3,000 Japanese food per person."

"Thank you sister for not forgetting me after you became rich."

Yuan Xi chuckled, "In fact, the conflict between Chu Lin and I has nothing to do with you and Chu Lin."

Liang Suisui said: "Actually it's not all for you. I can't afford a young man like him. When he took me everywhere to play, I would be lying if I didn't say I was moved.

I always thought that my family was not poor, and that forty or fifty million in assets was a lot. However, Chu Lin spent four or five hundred million on a car, and he could replace it whenever he wanted. He could also give away a watch worth more than twenty million yuan whenever he wanted. This kind of life is too far away from me.

My family works hard all year to earn a few million, but for Chu Lin, it might just be the money he spends on a birthday party.

Chu Lin still looked down on the poor from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, he is different from Huo Shiyan. Huo Shiyan played with us since childhood, and he ate at the roadside stalls we ate at when we were young. Even though Huo Shiyan's wealth is much higher than Chu Lin's, their education is completely different.

There is no class difference between you and Huo Shiyan since childhood, but there is between Chu Lin and me.

Besides, with my temper, it is difficult for me to survive in a wealthy family. I think Chu Lin is just interested in me, and he can't let go of his pride as a young master of the Chu family to pursue me. I'd better think about finding a live-in son-in-law."

Yuan Xi chuckled and said, "Then I wish you can find your ideal partner soon."
