I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 55 - Sibling Affection
Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Sibling Affection
Gu Hanchen glanced at Chu Lin, then at Liang Suisui, understanding clearly that these two didn’t get along.
Gu Hanchen broke the ice, “If Suisui wants to hook me, I’d be more than happy to be hooked.”
Liang Suisui was quite attractive too, although not in the internet-celebrity kind of way, but with a charm of a water township girl.
There were no traces of plastic surgery, evidently coming from a middle-class family with a good-girl image.
In other words, she was the type Mrs. Gu would like.
Gu Hanchen originally had no thoughts about dating or marriage, but with Bo Fan and Si Chen getting engaged and married respectively, his family was on his back about it every day.
Now he was using the upcoming IPO as an excuse to fend off the marriage pressures, but once the IPO was over, he would inevitably be pushed into marriage. If he could really end up with Liang Suisui, Gu Hanchen actually wouldn’t mind.
Liang Suisui smiled slightly, “I wouldn’t dare try to hook Mr. Gu.”
Gu Hanchen said, “Why not dare? You are Yuan Xi’s friend, by association, you’re my friend too.”
Liang Suisui said, “I’m an only child, and my family is hoping I find a live-in son-in-law. Mr. Gu surely wouldn’t stoop to being my son-in-law, right?”
Gu Hanchen laughed, “What age are we living in that we’re still talking about live-in sons-in-law?”
Liang Suisui said, “How can we not? I’m the only one in my family. What else if not marrying in?”
Gu Hanchen just smiled and called over Bo Fan and Fu Yi to play cards, “Come on, Bo Fan, President Huo, stop chatting, let’s play cards.”
Chu Lin looked at the brooding man beside Bo Fan, “Is he Huo Shiyan?”
Fu Yi stood up and reached out his hand to Chu Lin, “Junior President Chu.”
Chu Lin shook hands with Fu Yi, “President Huo.”
After the handshake, Fu Yi turned to Bo Fan and Gu Hanchen, “It’s getting late, I should be going.”
Bo Fan said, “Let me walk you out, President Huo.”
Gu Hanchen said, “Hey, only one of you can leave, because once you’re gone, we’ll be one short again.”
Liang Suisui suggested, “Just play ‘Landlord’ with three people.”
Gu Hanchen thought it was a good idea, letting Bo Fan walk Fu Yi out.
Gu Hanchen personally cut the cards, then asked Chu Lin, “How is your mom doing? Why did she suddenly end up in the hospital?”
Chu Lin glanced at Liang Suisui, “Yuan Xi insists that my parents choose between her and Yanyan, isn’t that utterly thoughtless? Yanyan and Bo Fan’s wedding is just three to four months away. If our family, the Chu Family, kicks Yanyan out now, how am I supposed to face Bo Fan?”
Gu Hanchen dealt the cards, “Why can’t you face him? Do you believe if you guys kick Chu Yan out the Bo Family would cancel the wedding immediately?”
Chu Lin said, “That’s even more reason not to let Yanyan leave our family. She would be so pitiful.”
Liang Suisui sarcastically laughed, “If you think the fake daughter is pitiful, then you marry Chu Yan. That’s how they write it in novels anyway. The fake daughter gets abandoned by her fiancé, and then her brother, feeling pity and ignoring his true sister’s feelings, falls for the fake daughter and marries her. I can list you a dozen books like that right off the bat.”
Liang Suisui added, “Besides, you and Chu Yan are a perfect match of ‘no brains meets green tea.'”
Chu Lin clenched his teeth, “Liang Suisui, Yanyan is my real sister, what nonsense are you spouting?”
Liang Suisui picked up the cards, her tone dripping with sarcasm, “Right, right, right, Yanyan is your real~sister~”
Chu Lin picked up the sarcastic tone and was so annoyed he didn’t even want to pick up the cards.
Gu Hanchen urged, “Come on, pick up the cards.”
Chu Lin stood up to leave, and Liang Suisui taunted, “What, scared of losing money before even playing?”
Gu Hanchen said, “Chu Lin, do me a favor and sit down to play, don’t leave the impression with this young lady that you can’t take a loss.”
Annoyed, Chu Lin picked up the cards, staring at a terrible hand, he even suspected Gu Hanchen had dealt the cards on purpose. In this round, Liang Suisui was the landlord and won quite a bit.
For several games in a row, whether the cards were good or bad, Liang Suisui kept winning.
Liang Suisui glanced at the time, “It’s twelve already, oh no I’m in big trouble, they’ll break my legs when I get home.”
Gu Hanchen said, “Don’t tell me, at twenty-six, your family still imposes a curfew?”
“Yep, my family curfew is at nine p.m. and I wasn’t even watching the time,” said Liang Suisui as she got up, “I need to leave.”
Having lost all night, Chu Lin frowned, “One last round, if you win, this watch is yours, if you lose, all the money you’ve won tonight stays.”
Liang Suisui looked at the watch Chu Lin had taken off, “What use do I have for a second-hand broken watch you’ve worn? I have my own watch.”
Gu Hanchen looked at the blue balloon in Liang Suisui’s hand, “If he sells that watch second-hand, it will still pay for your thousand-dollar watch.”

Liang Suisui was slightly surprised, “Really? I bought this watch at an international airport duty-free and it nearly cost me forty thousand. His can cover a thousand-dollar watch for me?”
Gu Hanchen said, “Of course it’s true, if you win his watch, I’ll immediately transfer forty million to buy it from you.”
Liang Suisui felt tempted, and since it was already past the access control time, she didn’t mind playing another round.
Chu Lin said, “I’ll deal the cards this time.”
Gu Hanchen said, “Making it seem like I would cheat. I’ve lost quite a bit today too.”
After Chu Lin had dealt the cards, he said to Gu Hanchen, “Play well this round. If you win against her, I’ll give you the watch for free. You won’t need to spend forty million.”
“Sorry, Suisui.” Gu Hanchen happily looked at the watch in front of him.
Liang Suisui asked, “Are you sure you want to gamble with me?”
Gu Hanchen said, “Yes, I will certainly win against you this time.”
Liang Suisui picked up the three landlord cards in front of her and asked again, “You guys won’t cheat, right? If I win, I won’t be able to leave Jiangye, will I?”
Gu Hanchen said, “I’m the president of Mi Chen, he’s the young boss of Chuneng Group, we are people of status, what are you afraid of?”
Liang Suisui said, “Then I’m playing my cards.”
As Chu Lin and Gu Hanchen looked at the cards in their hands, they were certain that all the money Liang Suisui was winning tonight was a sure bet. Just as they were about to play their cards, they saw Liang Suisui lay all her cards out on the table.
Her cards astonishingly formed a sequence from three sevens, three eights, up to three jacks, along with her three landlord cards, making a perfect plane. She finished her hand in one go.
Chu Lin and Gu Hanchen didn’t even get a chance to play.
Gu Hanchen looked at Chu Lin, “Damn, Chu Lin, how did you deal these cards?”
Chu Lin was obviously stunned as well. Was all this woman’s luck in her lifetime spent on this set of cards?
Liang Suisui stood up and said, “I might have spent all my luck in life here. Thank you, Mr. Gu, thank you, Mr. Chu. Mr. Gu, here’s the watch, remember to transfer the money, this is my bank card number.”
…
Yuan Xi woke up early in the morning and saw that messages in her besties group kept popping up.
She scrolled up and saw a bank transfer notification from Liang Suisui sent at half past midnight, filled with zeros like a Photoshopped image.
Suisui (looking for a husband version): I’ve achieved my wish to get rich instantly, now I just need a husband. Sisters, help me find someone!
Shi Shishitou: What did you do? Earn forty million overnight? Did you rob a bank? I’ve been working myself to death at the factory for a year and I haven’t made even a tenth of what you made in one night.
Yuanyuan Yuanyuan: I make five thousand a month, and I would need to work a thousand months, basically a lifetime.
Seeing messages from Shi Lei and Chen Yuan breaking down, Yuan Xi thought about her own salary, she would also need to work dead tired for seven or eight years…
Suisui (looking for a husband version): Yesterday I played a card game with Gu Hanchen and Chu Lin, and just like that, I won so much. I still can’t believe I have forty million now, I’m so thrilled I didn’t sleep all night.
Suisui (looking for a husband version): @Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi, oh yeah, Mr. Chu asked me to do him a favor, to take him off the blacklist.
Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi: …
Speechless as she was, Yuan Xi still did Liang Suisui the favor and removed Chu Lin from the list.
“Sister.”
Yuan Xi walked to the door where Huo Shiyan had already gotten up early, and Xiao Shihuo was dressed and ready for kindergarten.
Huo Shiyan told Yuan Xi, “He has to get to the kindergarten half an hour earlier than you need to be at work.”
Yuan Xi said, “Then I’ll get up earlier next time.”
“No need, I’ll have the driver take him, and then I’ll take you to the office.”
Yuan Xi replied with a light smile, “It’s okay, getting up half an hour earlier isn’t a big deal.”
After a rushed breakfast, Yuan Xi was making up in the back of the car to catch up with Xiao Shihuo’s school time when she received a WeChat message from Chu Lin.
Chu Lin: Yuan Xi, Huo Shiyan is approaching you just to get back at Yanyan. You better be sensible and not foolishly dream of becoming Mrs. Huo.
After reading the message, Yuan Xi put Chu Lin back into the blacklist.
Inside the blacklist, only Chu Lin lay there alone. After giving it some thought, Yuan Xi accepted Chu Yan’s friend request and then blocked him too.
After all, sibling affection runs deep.
