I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: A Serious Car Accident

Yuan Xi glanced sideways at Huo Shiyan, “Why?”

Huo Shiyan softly said three words, “I’m jealous.”

Yuan Xi let out a faint smile.

Mi Chen’s evening party was very lively. Mi Chen Game’s spokesperson and star came over to perform, and even Gu Hanchen got on stage and sang a song.

Colleagues from the secretarial office urged Yuan Xi to go on stage to perform, but Yuan Xi did not go up. Instead, Gu Hanchen performed another song.

By nine o’clock, there were rappers outside the manor singing the game’s theme song under open skies, the lights bright and the atmosphere buzzing.

Until ten o’clock at night, the lawn party was still bustling. Yuan Xi, lacking the stamina of Gu Hanchen and the others, got into the car ready to head back to Ruohu Mansion, considering she had a prenatal checkup the next day.

The elevated highway at night, with distant streetlights shining like stars.

After returning to the mansion, Yuan Xi saw that the lights were still on in Little Huohuo’s room. Glancing at her watch, it was already eleven o’clock.

“Shiyan, Little Huohuo is still awake this late? Go check on him.”

Huo Shiyan, slightly tipsy, walked into Little Huohuo’s room and saw him drawing. “Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”

“I won’t talk to bad people!”

When Little Huohuo saw Huo Shiyan, he huffed.

Huo Shiyan, seeing Little Huohuo’s angry look, “As if anyone wants to talk to you. Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”

Little Huohuo pouted, “You aren’t asleep either, right? Big bad guy, I’m waiting for mom to wake up and call me. I’m going to tell mommy that you and sister are bad people!”

Huo Shiyan furrowed his brows lightly, “How is your sister a bad person?”

“Teacher Mengmeng said that kind people like hamsters. Only bad people are afraid of hamsters. Sister is a bad person, and she also spreads pillow talk. Big bad guy, what does pillow talk mean?”

Huo Shiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, “Tomorrow, I’ll get you a new piano teacher.”

“Why?” Little Huohuo asked.

Huo Shiyan told Little Huohuo, “No reason.”

Little Huohuo waited until the phone rang and gladly answered, “Mommy, brother and sister are bad people! Sister hates hamsters, and brother wants to throw the hamster away…”

“Ah!”

A scream came from the other end of the phone, and the call was hung up.

Huo Shiyan sobered up from his alcohol upon hearing the scream. Although Ms. Shi wasn’t quite reliable, she was still his mother, and Huo Shiyan, afraid something might have happened, hurriedly made a call back.

But Huo Ting answered.

“Shihuo! You can’t mention the word ‘mouse’ in front of mom!”

“Ah! Huo Ting, how can you say that word!”

Huo Ting coaxed, “Alright, alright, baby, I won’t say it anymore.”

Huo Shiyan then heard another series of screams from Ms. Shi and Huo Ting’s coddling words, leaving him speechless.

Soon to be grandparents in just over six months.

Huo Ting: “Little Huo, you can’t mention ‘Mickey’ in front of mom from now on, mom is very, very afraid of Mickey.”

After being hung up on by his mother, Little Huohuo looked at Huo Shiyan, “Mom is afraid of hamsters too, is mom also a big bad person?”

Huo Shiyan replied, “What do you think?”

Little Huohuo responded, “Mom is not a big bad person.”

“So…” Little Huohuo’s eyes darted around, “Teacher Mengmeng is the big bad person.”

Huo Shiyan chuckled and rubbed Little Huohuo’s head, “Very clever, now go to sleep.”

…

When Yuan Xi woke up, it was seven o’clock in the morning. She had been having nightmares all night, sometimes being unable to press down the car brakes and sometimes having troubles closing doors and windows against wild animals…

After two consecutive nightmares, Yuan Xi woke up in a not-so-pleasant mood, worried that there might be problems with her prenatal checkup.

Yuan Xi glanced at Huo Shiyan, who was still sound asleep, and went downstairs.

The chef had just finished preparing breakfast.

As Yuan Xi sat down to eat bird’s nest soup, she heard a commotion at the door, “Why are you driving me away? I am the piano teacher personally appointed by Old Mrs. Huo for the young master.”

“Teacher Zhou, this is President Huo’s order. We will have more professional people coming to teach the young master piano in the future.”

Hearing the voices outside, Yuan Xi asked Sister Cai, who was nearby, “What’s going on outside?”

Sister Cai replied, “Last night, President Huo mentioned that Teacher Zhou should be dismissed once she woke up this morning.”

Yuan Xi, puzzled, said, “Wasn’t she teaching piano well? Why dismiss her so early in the morning?”

When Huo Shiyan arrived, Yuan Xi questioned him, “Why dismiss Teacher Zhou?”

Huo Shiyan replied, “She has a bad character, likes to sow discord.”

“Oh.”

Huo Shiyan asked, “When are you going to the company today?”

Yuan Xi replied, “I have a prenatal checkup this morning, so I won’t be going to the office. I’ll go in the afternoon.”

Huo Shiyan said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier about the prenatal checkup?”

Yuan Xi responded, “It was only decided a few days ago.”

Huo Shiyan sent a voice message to Qin Lang, “Try to postpone all plans for this morning’s work, I need to accompany Yuan Xi to her prenatal checkup.”

Yuan Xi said, “No need, I can manage on my own…”

Huo Shiyan, holding Yuan Xi’s hand tightly, said, “Pregnancy is not just about you. Inform me in advance about prenatal checkups, so I can arrange my work schedule accordingly.”

“Alright,” Yuan Xi agreed, feeling much reassured on her way to the prenatal checkup with Huo Shiyan by her side.

In the car, Yuan Xi was browsing posts about the NT scan when her phone suddenly rang.

Yuan Xi answered the call, hearing the tearful voice of Liang Suisui from the other end.

“Xiao Xi, I and Mr. Gu had a car accident, Mr. Gu is seriously injured and has passed out, I’m on the ambulance now, we’re heading to Jiangcheng First Hospital. You must come quickly, I’m so scared.”

Yuan Xi immediately instructed Huo Shiyan, who was driving, “Go to Jiangcheng First Hospital.”

Yuan Xi definitely did not want Gu Hanchen to be in trouble.

Seeing Yuan Xi’s distressed expression, Huo Shiyan asked, “What happened?”

Yuan Xi explained, “Gu Hanchen has been seriously injured in a car accident…”

When Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan arrived outside the hospital’s surgery room, Liang Suisui was covered in blood, her face marked with simple bandaging.

Chu Lin was comforting Liang Suisui, who was crying next to him.

Upon seeing Yuan Xi, Liang Suisui threw herself into Yuan Xi’s arms, “Xiao Xi…”

Yuan Xi could feel Liang Suisui trembling all over. “What happened?”

Liang Suisui, sobbing, said, “We were playing at the estate until late last night, and early this morning Mr. Gu said he would drive me home.

On the way, we encountered a big truck that wasn’t allowed on the elevated roads, which crashed into us.

Our car hit the guardrail and almost went over, but fortunately, it stabilized at the last minute. The truck fell off the elevated road, and we don’t know if the driver survived…”

Yuan Xi, clutching Liang Suisui’s trembling cold hand, said, “It’s good that you’re alright. Gu Hanchen is blessed with great fortune, he will be fine too.”

Huo Shiyan received a message from Qin Lang, “The truck driver was Bo Fan, who died on the spot after falling off the elevated road.”

A wave of fear surged in Yuan Xi’s heart, “Over twenty years of brotherhood, and Bo Fan chose such a vile way to take revenge on his own friend. It’s truly monstrous…”

The doctor came out from the emergency room and said, “The patient’s situation is very critical… Are the family members here? There are some papers to be signed.”

Yuan Xi replied, “I’m his friend, and I can help sign. I will notify his family immediately.”

The doctor handed Yuan Xi a stack of papers, her hands trembling as she saw the critical condition notice before signing.

Chu Lin took the pen from Yuan Xi’s hand, “Let me sign it.”
