Chapter 68 Asking the Chu Family for Maintenance
It was Monday, with a continuous drizzle. Although it was not yet the rainy season, the continuous rainy days were still depressing.

Even President Mi Chen's office was lifeless.

The lights in the Michen Building were on.

Today a new director came to submit plans for Mi Chen's pre-IPO roadshow promotional video.

Yuan Xi met the director of the promotional video, a very young girl who looked no more than 25 years old.

"Hello, Mr. Yuan, my name is Zhang Ying."

"Director Zhang, please go to the conference room."

Yuan Xi was very satisfied when he saw the shooting plan that Zhang Ying put on the PPT. Previously, he planned to use Fan Yan's team to shoot the promotional video. The directors introduced by Bo Fan did not meet Gu Hanchen's expectations. Zhang Ying was found by Gu Hanchen to shoot a documentary.

Gu Hanchen really agreed with Zhang Ying's planned script.

"Yuan Xi, what do you think?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Very good."

Gu Hanchen asked Zhang Ying, "How long will your shooting cycle take? Can it be completed within a month?"

"Okay." Zhang Ying said.

Gu Hanchen said: "That's good."

Zhang Ying said: "Mr. Gu, this promotional video requires you to explain the whole process in English. Is it convenient for you?"

Gu Hanchen said: "Convenient."

At noon, Yuan Xi received the lunch sent to her by the aunt from the mansion, which was still rich.

Just after lunch, Yuan Xi received a call from Chen Yuan.

"Hey, Xiaoxi, oh my god, your grandparents are so shameless. Yesterday, Yuan Jiao found out that you are the daughter of the Chu family, and went to your uncle and aunt overnight. Now they want to unite and go to the Chu family to ask for your child support."

"What?" Yuan Xi frowned.

Chen Yuan said: "Your neighbor Xiao Meng told me that they discussed it in the yard last night, without hiding from others. They said that not only will you not get a share of the demolished house, but you will also have to go to the Chu family to ask for tens of millions of yuan in child support.

What is the reason for the car that Chu Lin drove to the village yesterday? It cost more than 20 million yuan. They raised you, so it is not too much to ask the Chu family for 30 or 50 million yuan. "

Yuan Xi frowned and said, "They didn't raise me either."

It was her parents who raised her.

They took advantage of others' misfortune, so what right do they have to ask for money now?
Chen Yuan: "The Yuan family is extremely shameless, but I heard them think that the Chu family has so much money, it is only natural for them to take some, so you should be careful."

Yuan Xi responded: "I know."

Yuan Xi hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and returned to the office to look at the approval on the OA.

Gu Hanchen went to shoot a promotional video. Yuan Xi attended three meetings in a row on behalf of Gu Hanchen in the afternoon. It was already half past eight when he came out of the meeting room.

Yuan Xi walked out of Mi Chen Building and came to the front of the car. Qin Lang opened the back door for her.

When Yuan Xi sat in the back seat, he saw Huo Shiyan, who looked unhappy.

"I'm really sorry for the delay. I didn't expect the meeting to last three hours. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Has Huohuo gone home?"

Huo Shiyan had a stern face, looking very unhappy and obviously angry.

Yuan Xi seemed to have never seen Huo Shiyan so angry.

Huo Shiyan is much more emotionally stable than Gu Hanchen. He is not like Gu Hanchen who would curse and go crazy at every turn.

Huo Shiyan has always been very stable in his emotions, and rarely does he look so angry as he does now.

Yuan Xi whispered, "You don't have to pick me up in the future. I can drive myself. If it's really too late, I will find a driver or my home is very close to Mi Chen Building. Sometimes it's hard to guarantee how long I have to work overtime, so you don't have to be angry because you have to wait for a long time."

Huo Shiyan lowered his head and looked at Yuan Xi's belly, "Do you think I'm angry because I've waited for you for too long?"

Yuan Xi: “Isn’t it?”

Huo Shiyan sighed helplessly, "Yuan Xi, it's already half past eight. It's been eight hours since you had lunch. You haven't eaten anything for such a long time. Do you want to starve your stomach? I'm already having severe morning sickness, so I need to eat more."

Huo Shiyan calmed down his anger and said gently, "I'm not angry that I've waited for you for so long, but I'm angry that you don't care about your body."

Yuan Xi didn't know how long it had been since someone cared about her so much. She smiled and said, "I'm quite hungry. There's a seafood noodle shop nearby that I like. Shall we go there and have some noodles?"

Huo Shiyan said, "Okay." Yuan Xi told Qin Lang the address, and it only took three minutes to drive there.

The seafood noodle shop that Yuan Xi likes to eat at has always been doing good business. Even at 8:30 in the evening, there are still many customers in the store.

"I want a bowl of seafood noodles."

Yuan Xi hesitated for a while between the lobster noodles and the yellow croaker noodles, and decided on the lobster noodles: "Shi Yan, what do you want to eat?"

Huo Shiyan said: "Snow vegetable and yellow croaker noodles."

Yuan Xi asked Qin Lang behind Huo Shiyan, "What would Special Assistant Qin like to eat?"

Qin Lang didn't expect Yuan Xi to remember him: "Thank you, ma'am. No thanks. I'm not used to the seafood noodles in Jiangcheng."

After Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan sat down at a seat nearby, she realized that she was indeed very hungry. Touching her belly, she felt a little sorry for the child.

When Huo Shiyan's yellow croaker noodles came up first, he handed it to Yuan Xi first, "You eat some first."

Yuan Xi didn't refuse, as she hadn't eaten yellow croaker noodles for a long time.

Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi eating noodles and said, "From now on, even if you are in a meeting, you have to eat even if you stop in the middle. You can't ignore your health like this."

Yuan Xi chuckled and replied, "Okay."

After eating the noodles, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan returned to the mansion.

Xiao Shihuo, who was in the mansion, became very angry when he saw the two of them.

"Brother, sister, mom said brother would play with me, but you are back so late now. When the baby in sister's belly is born, will you come back so late to play with the baby?"

Yuan Xi chuckled and rubbed Xiao Xiaohuo's head: "Sister knows she is wrong and will come back earlier next time."

Xiaohuo smiled at Yuan Xi and said, "Then come back earlier to play with Huohuo!"

"Okay." Yuan Xi smiled faintly.

……

Riverview One.

Chu Yan snuggled in Bo Fan's arms and said, "Bo Fan."

Bo Fan put his arm around Chu Yan's waist, looked at Chu Yan's beautiful and delicate face, and recalled his father's words.

Chu Yan's biological father is a gangster who only knows how to play mahjong and does not work. Five generations before Chu Yan's biological father were all poor peasants in the mountains.

The blood flowing in Chu Yan's body is full of poverty and laziness, and Bo Fan's desires gradually subside.

Chu Yan looked at Bo Fan and asked, "Bo Fan?"

Bo Fan picked up Chu Yan and placed her on the bed, trying to speak softly: "Chu Yan, Fan Yan still has some official business to attend to. Chao Qing wants to terminate the contract now. I'm going to find her to sign another contract. You should have a good rest first."

Chu Yan looked at Bo Fan distressedly, "Are you still working so late? Bo Fan, can't you work tomorrow?"

Bo Fan rubbed Chu Yan's forehead and said, "You go to sleep first."

Chu Yan looked at Bo Fan's back and sighed.

After Chu Yan woke up early in the morning, he went back to the Chu family. As soon as he entered the house, Yang Ying and Chu Qing were eating breakfast.

"Yan Yan."

Chu Yan went forward and put her arms around Yang Ying's neck and said, "Mom, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Bo Fan has been busy with work these days, so I plan to stay at home until after the Dragon Boat Festival."

Yang Ying and Chu Qing looked at each other and both saw the dilemma.

Chu Yan saw the expressions of Yang Ying and Chu Qing, and said repeatedly: "Dad, Mom, no, no, I can't live here anymore, and I won't let you embarrass me in front of my sister..."

Chu Qing looked at Chu Yan with tears in her eyes. After all, she was his daughter whom he had raised for twenty-five years, and he was reluctant to let her go.

"Bo Fan is busy, it would be better if you come back home to live. You will be married soon, and you will stay at home less and less in the future."

As soon as Chu Qing finished speaking, a noise came from the Chu family's gate:

"I am the uncle of your eldest daughter. How dare you stop us from entering?"

"I am your eldest daughter's grandfather!"
