Chapter 96 -96: Sending Wedding Invitations to Zhuangzhuang
Jiang City.
In the city district of A City, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, there stood several acres of tall woods, bisected by an asphalt road. Security guards specifically stationed at the entrance prevented any unauthorized vehicles from entering.
Chu Yan arrived in a Rolls-Royce, looking towards the row of villas in front of her, still unable to believe everything that had occurred.
When she was deceived by her scumbag ex-husband and ridiculed by everyone in Jiang City, she had suddenly become one of A City’s wealthiest heiresses, the legitimate daughter of the chairman of Fu An Group!
Her biological father was actually the chairman of Fu An Group!
Chu Yan still felt as if she were dreaming, and she was determined to make those from Jiang City who looked down on her regret their actions.
...
Fu Yi, sitting next to Chu Yan, said, “That is the house of the Huo Family from Shiyi Group.”
Chu Yan looked at the Huo’s house and frowned, “If you are not Huo Shiyan, then why would Huo Shiyan give Yuan Xi a diamond ring worth three hundred million?”
Chu Yan then realized something was amiss.
Fu Yi replied, “I’m not sure about that either. Maybe there was a public relations crisis with Mi Chen, and it affected Huo Shiyan’s investments, so Huo Shiyan made it seem like a favor to say that the diamond was from him.”
After Chu Yan arrived at the Fu family home, there were only two older people chatting inside.
“Hasn’t your grandson returned to the country? Why haven’t I seen him come back?”
“Ah, that child went looking for his childhood crush as soon as he returned. But he is capable, his girlfriend is pregnant, and they’re expecting twins!”
Old Madam Fu laughed, “Twins? Why didn’t he bring his childhood crush back to A City with him?”
Old Madam Shi chuckled lightly, “His childhood love lives and works in Jiang City, claiming all friends and relatives are there, and he might probably settle in Jiang City with her as well, since he has always preferred going to Jiang City since he was young.”
Chu Yan, upon seeing the two elderly people inside, stepped forward and cutely said, “Grandma.”
Old Madam Shi heard Chu Yan’s voice, frowned, and looked at Chu Yan, “Why is it you?”
Old Madam Fu turned to Old Madam Shi, “You know her?”
Old Madam Shi snorted lightly, “Yes, with ill intentions; she bullied my granddaughter-in-law several times. If not for my grandson telling us to not interfere, she wouldn’t have had the chance to bully my Shi Family’s granddaughter-in-law repeatedly!”
Chu Yan, not understanding, said to the elderly lady, “Madam, I have never bullied anyone…”
Old Madam Fu, initially disapproving of her son bringing home illegitimate children, had turned a blind eye upon hearing it was a daughter.
But now, seeing Old Madam Shi’s dislike for Chu Yan and Chu Yan’s sycophantic look, she didn’t show much affection towards Chu Yan either.
“You don’t need to come back to the ancestral home in the future!”
Chu Yan clenched her fists tightly and angrily left.
Fu Yi reassured Chu Yan, “It’s okay, it’s still Mr. Fu who makes the decisions for the Fu family. You are the true heiress of the Fu family, though it’s best to visit the ancestral home less frequently.”
“That old lady just said I offended her granddaughter-in-law; how could I possibly offend her granddaughter-in-law?”
Chu Yan carefully thought about it; it was extremely unlikely for her to offend someone from A City’s most prestigious families.
Could there have been some misunderstanding?
But even if she did offend someone, what of it? Now, her brother was in a vegetative state with uncertain chances of recovery, and ultimately, she would take over control of the entire Fu Family.
The Chu and Gu families from Jiang City would have to look up to her.
And Yuan Xi… what about Mi Chen’s IPO?
The Fu and Huo families had always had good relations. Being the true heiress of the Fu family, if she persuaded Huo Shiyan to withdraw his investment from Mi Chen, perhaps he might also grant her this favor.
“Fu Yi, I want to go back to Jiang City for the celebration banquet of Mi Chen’s IPO!”
Mi Chen would be celebrating their successful IPO, and Gu Hanchen with Yuan Xi would certainly be very complacent. By appearing there as the heiress of the Fu family, she wondered if Yuan Xi could still be proud?
…
Yuan Xi fell ill and was sick for a week, but even sick, she dared not rest.
Because right after the roadshow was the pricing and ringing the bell of the IPO.
Both domestic and international IPO success parties and press conferences needed to be held.
Gu Hanchen had been urging Yuan Xi to contact Sister Mi Yi over the past few days to ask if she could make it to the United States for the bell-ringing ceremony.
It took Yuan Xi quite some time before she finally got hold of Mi Yi, “Sister Mi Yi.”
“Xiao Xi, what’s up?”
“Mi Chen’s bell-ringing ceremony is scheduled for July 8th. Are you free to fly to the United States and witness the ceremony together?”
Mi Yi said, “I’m no longer with Mi Chen.”
“But you are the founder of Mi Chen,” Yuan Xi said, “Hanchen and I really hope you can come to the bell-ringing ceremony of Mi Chen’s IPO.”
Mi Yi said, “We’ll see.”

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xi started packing for her trip to the United States, thankful that her visa had long been arranged.
By July, the weather suddenly became extremely hot, as if a fierce fire was roasting everything.
Looking at the scorching sun outside that could burn a person, Yuan Xi checked the weather in New York, relieved that it wasn’t as hot as in Jiang City.
Huo Shiyuan saw Yuan Xi packing her suitcase and asked, “Are you going on a business trip?”
Yuan Xi nodded and replied, “Mi Chen’s roadshow has just set the stock price at $69. The bell-ringing ceremony is being held on July 8th in New York, so I’m going there.”
Huo Shiyuan lightly smiled, “I’ll go with you.”
Yuan Xi said, “There are a few other people from the company going with me. You don’t have to go out of your way to accompany me.”
Huo Shiyuan replied, “I’m free anyway.”
Yuan Xi said, “Then your visa…”
After speaking out, Yuan Xi felt she had asked in vain. For someone like Huo Shiyuan, he probably even had a green card, so why would he need a visa.
“My visa isn’t expired, don’t worry.”
Yuan Xi’s phone rang with a message from her girlfriends’ group chat.
Yuanyuan Yuanyuan: Mi Chen’s IPO? I just saw the news. Mi Chen is ringing the bell on NASDAQ on July 8? That’s fast?
Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi:[Red Packet]
Yuan Xi sent a red packet in the group.
Shi Shishitou: Congratulations, throw flowers! So, are you also going to the U.S.?
Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi: Yes, flying to the U.S. on the 6th.
Shi Shishitou: If you’re going to the United States, can you find Zhuangzhuang and pass him an invitation to my wedding?
Shi Shishitou: Haven’t seen Zhuangzhuang in over a decade. We were all so close as kids. Chen Yuan and I are getting married in October and we want Zhuangzhuang to come back for the wedding.
Sui Sui: Getting married? Who’s getting married to whom? Chen Yuan marrying you is killing me! Yuan Xi is married, you and Chen Yuan are getting married, am I not going to be nagged to death by my parents?
Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi: I don’t have Brother Zhuangzhuang’s contact, nor do I know which state he’s in the U.S.
Although Yuan Xi wanted to see Brother Zhuangzhuang in the U.S., having not been in touch for many years, the vast U.S. didn’t promise an accidental encounter.
They used to contact each other through QQ, but later Yuan Xi’s account was hacked.
Years later, when Yuan Xi tried to log in, it seemed a fan girl had hacked it.
The hacker had deleted all of Yuan Xi’s original QQ friends.
Thus, her only way to contact Brother Zhuangzhuang was gone.
Shi Shishitou: I have his QQ though! I’ll send Zhuangzhuang a message to see if he’s in New York right now.
Suddenly, a QQ notification sound echoed in the room.
Yuan Xi thought it was her QQ, but no new message popped up.
She turned her head and looked at the cellphone in Huo Shiyuan’s hand.
