Campus Ace Girl
Chapter 851 - 852: The Banquet, Open and Hidden Struggles 2
Over there, the Jiang Family was filled with joy.
Here, Minxin watched coldly, seeing everything crystal clear.
A group of people walked into the banquet hall with complex feelings. The old gentlemen and old lady naturally were the center of attention, until they saw Bo Xichen and Gu Anxi.
The old lady coughed lightly: "You came over, why didn’t you tell me?"
Gu Anxi turned around, looking surprised: "The old lady is here too?"
The old lady sat on the sofa with a stern expression, exuding an aura as if she were the host rather than a guest. Gu Anxi immediately sat next to her, looking at the old lady with sparkling eyes.
The old lady let out a cold laugh: "Haha, you’re looking at me, again plotting to take something nice from me?"
"No way." Little Milk Spirit smiled sweetly, "I just think the bracelet on your wrist is nice."
The old lady glanced at Bo Xichen: "Look, look, this child is always thinking about my things, she’s been spoiled."
Saying this, she took off the bracelet with disdain and handed it to Gu Anxi: "It’s only a few thousand, it’s not worth much, but you treat it like it’s a treasure. If others saw it, they wouldn’t want it."
Gu Anxi wore it on her wrist, "The old lady’s things are all good things."
The old lady smiled: "It’s good you liked this and didn’t take others. Now I need to save some money for Jingyao, can’t let the girl come to the house empty-handed."
As these words were said, everyone in Jiang Family understood that the old lady would leave her good things to her daughter-in-law later. Knowing the old lady came from a prestigious background, there were many good things that can’t be bought nowadays, everyone’s gaze fell enviously on Jiang Chaoge—
This really is her chance to rise to the top.
Jiang Chaoge herself was extremely excited, she lightly licked her lips, wanting to say something, but Jiang Mother beside her pinched her secretly, whispering: "Stay calm, don’t be petty."
Originally, Jiang Mother didn’t approve, but now she felt hopeful.
To be the stars at the center, to be above others, who wouldn’t want this?
In the past, it was unimaginable; now, with the old lady sitting here like this, who wouldn’t look at her face, who wouldn’t flatter her? Look at Jiang Family’s father and son trying to please her, it’s gratifying to watch.
With Jiang Mother’s reminder, Jiang Chaoge immediately became more reserved, only giving a modest smile.
Jiang Mother was very satisfied.
In that moment, the old lady finished talking with the Little Brat, and turned her eyes to her own son, deliberately stern-faced: "Alright Jingyao, you’ve been fussing for so long, isn’t it enough by now? Will you really never interact with your sister until you’re old? Forget everything else, at least show some masculinity in front of Chaoge."
As she spoke, Jiang Chaoge’s heart trembled, she immediately said: "Old lady need not worry about my feelings."
Others were extremely envious; Jiang Chaoge truly was acknowledged by the old lady.
The old lady smiled: "I know you always let him, but in relationships, you can’t just be accommodating. It’s good of you to let him, considering his feelings, but others don’t know, they only think you can’t tolerate your sister-in-law and wish Jingyao would become distant from her."
Jiang Chaoge’s head spun; she didn’t know what to do for a moment.
Earlier, she spoke carelessly, the old lady probably wasn’t happy.
She thought, having gotten things worth millions, while Gu Anxi only got something worth thousands, whose weight is heavier is clear, but now... the old lady seems clearly not wanting to become distant with Gu Anxi, likely considering the Bo Family.
Thus, Jiang Chaoge must strive to show her generosity, but also can’t appear to interfere with King Jingyao, so she spoke softly: "Of course not, Anxi has always been lively and cute, I also like her very much."
The old lady then looked at her son: "Chaoge has said so, what’s your opinion?"
All around fell silent, everyone forgot that today Jiang Chaoge was the main character, the project was the focus, but now it became the old lady hosting a family meeting, Jiang Chaoge was entirely a role to be molded.
Yet, she didn’t know, she only looked at King Jingyao.
King Jingyao smiled a bit, sat on the other side of the old lady, coaxing the old lady: "What are you talking about, old lady? Of course I love my own sister."
The old lady patted his hand: "Whether you’re sincere or feigning, this must be honored, no going back on it. Also, no troubling Bo Nianyao, I heard these days you’ve been targeting him quite a bit."
King Jingyao touched his nose, suddenly leaned back against the sofa, tugged on the Little Brat’s hair: "You say, have I been targeting your Dad Nianyao?"
His attitude wasn’t great, everyone thought it was just for the old lady’s sake, actually still excluding the Bo Family, only Minxin saw it clearly.
With the old lady sitting between her two children, who could be closer? Jiang Chaoge got treasures, but she was still standing, catering to the guests... with this insight, dreaming of marrying into the Wang Family, wishful thinking!
He looked at Gu Anxi, watching what she would say.
Gu Anxi blinked, then said to the old lady: "No, no, absolutely not, older brother treats me well, treats the Bo Family well, a few days ago signed a file and granted a project to Cloud He Group, it’s a C City project."
She chattered away...
King Jingyao listened, realizing it wasn’t what he meant, what the heck, when did he agree to that project?
