Chapter 4 Blue Diamond Ring
Yuan Xi was helpless: "My brother Chu Lin and Gu Hanchen are good brothers who grew up wearing the same pants. If I take you to meet my parents, it means that Gu Hanchen knows about our marriage."

Huo Shiyan was a little surprised about Yuan Xi's background, "Then how long do you plan to keep this a secret from Gu Hanchen?"

"After Michen goes public."

Yuan Xi said: "I'm leaving first."

Huo Shiyan stopped Yuan Xi: "Wait."

Huo Shiyan took out a brocade box from the car. He opened the box and found a teardrop-shaped deep blue diamond of about twelve carats. It was as deep blue as the deep ocean, and a circle of small diamonds were dotted around the main diamond.

Huo Shiyan put the blue diamond ring on Yuan Xi's ring finger. The ring was neither too big nor too small, just the right size.

Yuan Xi raised his eyes and looked at Huo Shiyan and said: "You..."

Huo Shiyan smiled faintly and said, "When I saw this diamond, I thought it was very suitable for you."

Yuan Xi looked at the deep blue in her hand. She remembered this blue diamond, named Charlotte Blue Diamond. It was also on the hot search list. It was just auctioned a month ago and sold for 3.39 million yuan.

The reason why Yuan Xi knew so much about this was because Gu Hanchen's good friend Bo Fan had originally planned to take a picture of this and give it to Chu Yan as an engagement diamond ring. Unfortunately, when the price was raised to 3 million, it had exceeded Bo Fan's budget.

At that time, several secretaries in the secretarial office were talking about who could wear this blue diamond that was worth an old villa in City A.

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan. Did he buy this blue diamond a month ago to make up for that drunken night?
Huo Shiyan escorted Yuan Xi to the car and fastened her seat belt.

Yuan Xi felt her cheeks getting slightly hot when she saw Huo Shiyan standing so close to her.

Huo Shiyan said softly: "After you come out of Chu's house, give me a call and I'll ask the driver to pick you up."

"I can drive myself."

Huo Shiyan said: "It will take 40 minutes to get from Chu's house to Ruohu Mansion by elevated road. It's better to let the driver pick you up."

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan. He was determined to let him live in Ruohu Mansion...

They were already married and had children, so Yuan Xi couldn't find any reason not to go to Ruohu Mansion. She smiled at Huo Shiyan and said, "Okay, I'll call you when I get out of Chu's house."

Yuan Xi drove all the way to the Chu family. She had been Gu Hanchen's secretary for five years. This was not her first time to come to the Chu family. She had been Gu Hanchen's female companion to the Chu family many times in the past five years.

Some time ago, Chu Yan and Bo Fan's engagement ceremony was held at the Chu family, and Yuan Xi also served as Gu Hanchen's female companion to attend the engagement banquet.

Chu Yan was dazzling at the engagement party, the envy of all the famous ladies in Jiangcheng. At that time, Yuan Xi could never have imagined that she was the daughter of the Chu family.

The vehicle drove into the Chu family's house. The main house of the manor was a full European-style building with a fountain in front.

When Yuan Xi's car passed by, the water of the fountain seemed to scatter rainbow light in the sunlight.

As soon as Yuan Xi got out of the car, he saw Chu Lin at the door.

As soon as she got out of the car, Chu Lin came up to her and asked, "What brought Secretary Yuan here? Did Han Chen ask you to come to see me?"

Yuan Xi looked at Chu Lin, "Didn't my parents tell you?"

Chu Lin wondered, "What?"

Yang Ying came out of the house, saw Yuan Xi and smiled, "Xin'er, you're back.

Chu Lin was stunned when he heard Yang Ying's name, "Xin'er? What Xin'er? Mom, she is Yuan Xi, the secretary beside Gu Hanchen."

Yang Ying said, "It's sunny outside, let's talk inside."

Yuan Xi followed Yang Ying into the Chu family's living room, where the European-style decoration exuded luxury.

Yang Ying asked Aunt Zhang at home to call Chu Yan downstairs.

When Chu Yan went downstairs, he saw Yuan Xi sitting next to Yang Ying and frowned slightly, "Yuan Xi, why did you come to my house?"

Chu Yan looked down on Yuan Xi. Knowing that Gu Hanchen had a fiancée, Yuan Xi had accompanied Gu Hanchen to banquets many times. There were too many women who wanted to get rich overnight in their circle. Yang Ying said, "Yan Yan, this is Xin'er's home too. Xin'er, or Yuan Xi, is my daughter."

When Chu Yan heard Yang Ying's words, she was stunned and said, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Yang Ying reached out and took Chu Yan's hand, letting Chu Yan sit next to her, "Yan Yan, you are actually our family's adopted child."

"At that time, our Xin'er was missing. We searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her, so we went to the welfare home and adopted a baby girl who was about the same age as Xin'er, that is you."

"Yanyan, over the years, mom and dad have always treated you as their own child. You will still be the daughter of our Chu family, and this will not change."

Yuan Xi was sitting on the sofa nearby. When she heard Yang Ying say this, she just maintained the faint fake smile that she was used to in the workplace.

Chu Yan was so shocked that she couldn't say anything. She clenched her hands. The diamond nails were embedded in her palms, causing her severe pain.

Not a dream!
Chu Lin said in disbelief: "Mom, you mean that Yuan Xi is my biological sister."

"Yes, Yuan Xi is Xin'er, Chu Xinyan."

Chu Lin began to look closely at Yuan Xi's face, "It turns out that Secretary Yuan Xi is my biological sister!"

Chu Yan looked at Yuan Xi as if struck by a bolt from the blue. Yuan Xi had long straight black hair tied into a ponytail. Without makeup, Yuan Xi was not the type of beauty who would be noticed at first glance, but she was very attractive, and her light blue suit skirt gave her a very professional vibe.

Chu Yan looked at the blue diamond in Yuan Xi's hand again. It was sparkling. Compared with her blue diamond which was over ten carats, the five-carat engagement diamond ring on her hand seemed much more stingy.

Chu Yan remembered what she had warned Yuan Xi about in the underground garage today. She said the ugly duckling turned into a swan because it was originally a swan...

Chu Yan felt that she was the biggest joke at the moment. She had lived the life of the richest man's daughter for twenty-six years, but today she was told that it was all fake!

Is she just an adopted child?

Yang Ying patted Yuan Xi's hand and said, "Xiao Lin, since Xin'er is back, don't call her Yuan Xi anymore."

Yuan Xi touched the blue diamond that Chu Yan was staring at and said with a faint smile: "Mom, just call me Yuan Xi. I'm used to the name Yuan Xi."

Yang Ying frowned slightly and said, "Now that you're back, how can you still use the buyer's surname? Your father and I have investigated and found that your adoptive parents' family didn't treat you well at all. You should go back to your original name, Chu Xinyan."

Yuan Xi said: "All my IDs now say Yuan Xi. It would be too troublesome to change it."

Yang Ying is not some rich wife who only relies on her husband. As the vice president of Chu Group, Yang Ying always keeps her word. "Xin'er, you are called Yuan Xi because you were bought by your adoptive parents. If they hadn't bought you, maybe your parents would have found you long ago. Are you sure you want to call us by the name your adoptive parents gave you and disappoint us?"

Yuan Xi said: "Mom, if I say I want Chu Yan to leave the Chu family, are you willing?"

Chu Yan clutched the hem of her white skirt.

Yang Ying said: "We adopted Chu Yan in the beginning. It has been 25 years since she was one year old. We have a deep affection for her."

"My adoptive parents raised me for eighteen years. They gave me all their love and even lost their lives at work to provide me with a better living condition." Yuan Xi whispered, "So I'm sorry... I can't change the name Yuan Xi."

Chu Lin tried to smooth things over, "Mom, Yuan Xi is pretty good too. Everyone is used to calling her that. It would be troublesome to ask Xin'er to change her name."

Yang Ying frowned because Yuan Xi had just returned and did not force her to change her name.

Chu Yan stared at the blue diamond ring on Yuan Xi's hand, "Yuan Xi, fake diamonds are not good for your body. Dyed stones can easily cause skin ulcers. Also, wearing fake diamond rings in our family is... not good."

Yang Ying looked at the diamond ring on Yuan Xi's hand and said, "It looks very real."

Chu Lin also took a look and said, "Isn't this the Charlotte Blue Diamond? I don't know who won the bid. I was there too. The person on the other end of the phone said 3.38 million without any hesitation."

Chu Yan pursed her lips and said, "Brother, the 3.38 million blue diamond was auctioned not long ago, how could it be possible to make a ring so quickly?"

Chu Yan looked at Yuan Xi kindly: "If you like diamonds, just go to my cloakroom and pick any. The circle of wealthy people in Jiangcheng is very small. It's not good for you to wear fake diamonds..."
