After Quitting My Job, I Became the Real Heiress of the Richest Family

Yuan Xi had been Gu Hanchen's secretary for five years, working tirelessly without a single day off all year. As if being treated like an ox and horse were not enough, she was also slandered by Gu Hanchen's fiancée and her close friend, the eldest young lady of the Chu family: Secretary Yuan was dreaming of marrying up and becoming Mrs. Gu. Unable to endure it any longer, Yuan Xi submitted her resignation. After quitting, the overworked corporate drone transformed overnight into the true heiress of the Chu family, Jiangcheng's richest household! After returning to the Chu family, Yuan Xi discovered that they had already adopted another daughter, Chu Yan, to take her place. The false heiress, bright and uninhibited, was the undisputed eldest young lady in the hearts of everyone in Jiangcheng. Even after the true heiress returned, Chu Yan remained Jiangcheng's socialite, while Yuan Xi could not escape being used as a contrast to Chu Yan's perfect life. The husband Yuan Xi married did not even own a house in downtown Jiangcheng. Meanwhile, the false heiress Chu Yan married into the Bo family, one of Jiangcheng's four great power families. Everyone in Jiangcheng's elite circle mocked Yuan Xi for having worse luck and poorer judgment than the false heiress. Until one day, Micheng went public, and Yuan Xi surpassed her biological father in one stroke, becoming Jiangcheng's new richest person... On the day Yuan Xi's child was born, the head of A City's old-established Huo family publicly announced the joyous news that he had welcomed a golden grandson... -- Yuan Xi had always believed that her marriage to Huo Shiyan was merely a shotgun wedding, and that Huo Shiyan had another childhood sweetheart, his white moonlight. Only later did she learn that she herself was that childhood sweetheart.
