Chapter 646: Chapter 645: 645, finally free again?

On the other side, Shi Huan hurriedly left the company.

By the time she arrived at the hospital, the old lady Shi had already been sent to the ward.

“Huanhuan, you’re here.”

In the corridor, Qian Yulin explained, “A real estate agency just called to say that our old house has been purchased. Your grandmother was so happy that she fainted from excitement.”

Shi Huan: “…”

“Your grandmother listed the house for 30 million. I didn’t expect a nouveau riche who doesn’t know the market to buy it.”

Shi Huan again: “…”

“But regardless, the house is sold now, Huanhuan. You have been working so hard to pay off the debts these past years. Your mother and I have discussed it. We’ve decided to take 10 million from the 30 million we earned from selling the house to pay off our debts.”

“Really?” Shi Huan was surprised and thrilled.

“Of course, it’s true. A few days ago, Minyan had already done the calculations for us. This amount of money can completely settle our remaining debts. You won’t have to work so hard to make money every month anymore.”

“So,” Shi Huan couldn’t help but want to laugh, “I don’t have to pay the debts anymore?”

“Yes, Huanhuan. You have been working very hard for so many years.” Qian Yulin looked at her little daughter, her eyes full of obvious love, “After paying off the debts, the remaining money can be used to buy a new, larger house. You can then live with us.”

Shi Huan didn’t say a word.

She still hardly dared to believe it.

Could she finally regain her freedom?

She thought it would take at least half a year before she could feel relieved. She hadn’t expected happiness to come so suddenly.

In this way, Chu Xiuhuang had indirectly done her a great favor.

Qian Yulin was already on the phone with Shi Minyan.

The gist of the conversation was that Shi Huan had arrived at the hospital, the old Mrs. Shi’s condition was not serious, and he didn’t have to worry.

Shi Huan sat there, clueless, and it took her a while to snap back to reality from her excitement.

She then looked at the time. It was already past three in the afternoon.

Qian Yulin’s call came in so urgently that she ran directly to the hospital from the company without even having time to ask for leave.

She took out her phone and found that it had been silenced at some point. There were over a dozen unanswered phone calls displayed on the screen.

Most of them were from Chu Xiuhuang, with a few also from her subordinates in the secretary’s office.

She called Chu Xiuhuang directly.

The moment the call connected, an ominous voice was heard, “Have you decided to quit?”

Shi Huan rushed to apologise, “Mr. Chu, I’m sorry. My grandmother just suddenly fainted, my mother called me…”

“Are your bloodsucking relatives more important than me?”

Shi Huan frowned, “I rushed out because I was worried. You were sleeping in the rest room, so I…”

“So the damn woman was sent up by you?” Chu Xiuhuang interrupted her again.

“Which woman?”

“Lili!”

Lili?

Shi Huan quickly asked, “What happened to her?”

“Very well, you admit it, don’t you? You’ve really disappointed me!” Chu Xiuhuang finished and directly hung up.

His voice was loud, as if filled with extreme rage.

Shi Huan was dumbfounded.

What on earth was going on?

Just then, her phone displayed a call from Assistant Xiaoliu. Shi Huan quickly answered.

“Oh my god, Sister Shi, you finally answered my call. Where did you go? Something big has happened!”

“What happened?”

“Just now, a woman tried to rape Mr. Chu. She stripped naked and climbed onto Mr. Chu’s bed. Mr. Chu was very angry. He fired all the receptionists downstairs and the company’s security guards were also dismissed. We were in the conference room discussing work at the time and narrowly escaped being fired.”

Shi Huan: “…”

Rape?

What the hell?

“Is Mr. Chu alright?” Shi Huan asked.

Xiaoliu said, “I’m not sure, but the woman was naked, and Mr. Chu was dressed.”

“Well, that’s good.” Shi Huan inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

Ending the phone call, she immediately said, “Mom, I have to go back to the company now.”

“Okay, if you’re busy, you go ahead.” Qian Yulin just finished speaking when a commotion came from the sick room behind her.

She said, “It sounds like mother has woke up.”

Shi Huan had no choice but to follow her into the ward.

As the door opened, the old lady’s voice immediately came over, “Oh, it hurts so much.”

“Mom, are you okay? Are you not feeling well somewhere?” Qian Yulin hurriedly ran to the bed.

The old lady Shi turned and frowned when she saw Shi Huan, and immediately asked, “Why did she come?”

“Mother, you fainted just now, and Minyan and Youran were busy and couldn’t leave, so I…”

“Are you here to take a share of the property?” The old Mrs. Shi suddenly interrupted her daughter-in-law, looking at Shi Huan warily. Her face was very grave.

Shi Huan was speechless.

Old Madam Shi looked at her daughter-in-law again, “Did you tell her about selling the house?”

Qian Yulin guiltily replied, “Mother, this is a good thing, I was thinking…”

“You ungrateful wretch!” Old Madam Shi picked up a pillow and started hitting Qian Yulin, “Who told you to inform her? I knew you were up to no good! Listen to me, this house was left to me by my husband! As long as I’m alive, it’s mine! No one can take it away!”

“Mom, you’ve misunderstood, we didn’t…”

“Still denying it? As soon as you heard the house was sold, you immediately called our daughter back, didn’t you? Are you all waiting for me to kick the bucket so you can divide my inheritance?”

Old Madam Shi, gasping for breath, fiercely threw the pillow at Shi Huan. “What are you looking at? Are you trying to scare me? Get out! Get out! Go away!”

“Mom, don’t be like this. Huanhuan came because she’s worried about your health…”

“You can get out too; you’re no saint either!” Old Madam Shi was so agitated she couldn’t stop shouting. Soon, the nurses heard it from outside and came in.

Busy, Old Madam Shi called out, “Nurse, quickly get these two out of here! I’m not dead yet, and they want to divide my inheritance! These unfilial beasts! Quickly, get them out!”

Shi Huan abruptly turned and left.

Taken aback, Qian Yulin chased after her, “Huanhuan.”

…

On the corridor.

“Huanhuan, your mother is just like this, she speaks harshly, but she doesn’t mean it. You mustn’t overthink it.”

Shi Huan quirked her lips but remained silent.

Looking at her daughter, Qian Yulin didn’t quite know what else to say.

Often times, she genuinely wanted to be nice to this daughter of hers.

Whether it’s Qingge or Huanhuan, they are both her daughters, her own flesh and blood. How could a mother not feel for them? But this mother-in-law is too dominant, sometimes she really has no other options…;

“Since grandma is alright, I’ll go back first.” Shi Huan’s expression was cold.

“Okay.” Qian Yulin felt a bit awkward.

Is Old Madam Shi just alright? She’s more than alright. She seems to be in high spirits!

Looking at the retreating slender silhouette of her daughter, Qian Yulin stood there and heaved a long sigh.

When Shi Huan returned to the Huangyou, it was already past four in the afternoon.

The CEO’s office door was wide open, with masked and uniformed workers bustling back and forth.

As soon as she entered the secretary’s office.

“Thank God, Sister Shi, you’re finally back.” Assistant Xiaoliu rushed over, “Did Young Master Chu find you?”

“Yeah.” Shi Huan looked at the workers outside, “What are they doing?”

“What else could it be, disinfecting!”

Shi Huan: “…”

The others also chimed in:

“The bed and bedding in the rest room were all thrown away!”

“Sister Shi, you didn’t see that woman just now, she had no clothes on, it was such an eyesore!”

“She’s audacious, trying to take advantage of Young Master Chu while he naps and climb into his bed!”

“A toad longing for a swan’s flesh!”

“How disgraceful! She was dragged out by security for all to see!”

“If it were me, I would already be mortified to death!”

“….”

The more Shi Huan listened, the darker her face got.

That afternoon on the golf course, wasn’t young master Chu having a pleasant chat with that Lili?

Is he really such a chaste individual?

“Where is Young Master Chu?” Shi Huan quickly asked.

“He left half an hour ago.”

“Oh.” Shi Huan didn’t think much of it.

She sat down at the desk right away, “Stop gossiping. Xiaoliu, Xiaoli, you two come here.”

“What is it, Sister Shi?” The two assistants hurried over.

While starting her computer, Shi Huan smiled and said, “I might be resigning soon. I’ll hand over all recent work to you two now. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me while I’m still at the company.”

Xiaoliu and Xiaoli looked at each other, too shocked to speak.

Resign?

Secretary Shi, who is known for being diligent and uncomplaining…

Is resigning?

**

Elite Club.

Chu Xiuhuang drained his glass in one gulp.

Beside him, Nangong Ci frowned, “Second Brother, you called me over here, what’s going on?”

Since walking in, he had been drinking alone in silence, his expression melancholic… as if he had a broken heart!
