Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 265 - 266: For this matter, you can only ask Bo Xichen
After speaking, Gu Ning put on her coat and walked towards the outside, her head held high.
"Auntie," Tang Yuan spoke softly, "Your brother and I have our hands tied right now. Besides, isn’t the child living well in the Bo Family at the moment?"
Gu Ning suddenly spun around, raising her chin. "Only you know what ulterior motives you’re harboring! The Gu family is now in desperate need of Jing Element. What do you propose we do?"
Tang Yuan offered a slight smile. "I’ll invite Bo Jin for tea later and see if we can borrow some from her. That should alleviate the situation."
Gu Yuanshan also spoke quietly, "Let’s just do that for now."
Tang Yuan was still smiling. "Auntie, do you think this will work?"
Gu Ning smiled sarcastically. "My sister-in-law is truly thoughtful. I was being nosy."
Gu Ning then left.
Gu Yuanshan and his wife sat in silence. After a long while, Tang Yuan spoke in a gentle whisper, "Yuanshan, think about it. If that child were to return, it wouldn’t just disrupt the family; we also have to consider Mingzhu’s feelings."
Gu Yuanshan sighed. "I may have been a bit impulsive."
He lightly patted his wife’s hand. "Seeing that child, I feel rather guilty."
Tang Yuan paused, then asked softly, "Yuanshan, have you ever thought about bringing her back?"
"Why would I?" Gu Yuanshan knew what she was thinking and smiled gently. "Don’t we have Mingzhu? Mingzhu is our pride and joy."
Tang Yuan gently put her arm around Gu Yuanshan’s shoulders and whispered, "When I have time, I’ll also look after that child. Yuanshan, you don’t have to worry about it, okay?"
Gu Yuanshan trusted his wife. She was always beautiful and dignified, and treated people very well.
Indeed, Tang Yuan successfully handled the matter for him, borrowing two liters of Jing from Bo Jin, which was sufficient for the Gu family to use for two months.
Bo Jin had lent the Jing privately, but the father and son of the Bo Family soon found out.
Father Bo pondered for a while and let Bo Xichen handle the matter; because Bo Xichen had acquired the Jing, he had the final say.
Bo Xichen was respectful towards his aunt and did not chastise her, but he did replace the warehouse staff with his own loyal followers. When Bo Jin found out, she tried to see Bo Xichen, but he avoided her.
Bo Jin sat in her office, thought for a moment, and then called Tang Yuan. "The Gu family will have to find their own solution. The Jing is now completely under Xichen’s control, and I’m no longer in charge. My brother and Xichen must blame me for acting on my own this time. Now, I can’t even get a meeting with them."
Tang Yuan was somewhat surprised. "Xichen... won’t he even grant this small favor?"
Bo Jin lowered her voice. "The Bo Family and your Gu family are different. My brother doesn’t involve himself in many affairs anymore. Most things are managed by Xichen. He holds great prestige both inside and outside the family, and no one dares to disobey him. Yuanyuan, I really can’t help you this time."
Tang Yuan hung up the phone, somewhat dazed.
Without Jing, what will we do next?
「Meanwhile.」
On the other hand, Bo Jin had also heard the rumors about the Gu family’s secrets. She just hadn’t expected that the young girl Xichen had found was the Gu family’s "devil pearl." She was somewhat resistant to this.
The Gu family didn’t want her, and yet the Bo family took her in—
Besides, she thought very highly of Mingzhu, who excelled at everything. At such a young age, not only was she excellent in her studies, but she also had her own special column. Furthermore, she had launched a successful series of perfumes in the Gu family’s cosmetics department.
She had been quite fond of the idea of Xichen and Mingzhu together, only to be surprised by the sudden appearance of Gu Anxi.
She couldn’t see what was so good about that child, aside from her decent looks!
Coming from a small place, she most likely has no talent!
Her family background must also be just average!
Yet her brother and sister-in-law were spoiling her rotten, especially her sister-in-law, who was acting completely besotted, constantly cooing about "our Anxi, our baby..." It was as if her son, Xichen, didn’t even exist.
Bo Jin was quite dissatisfied, but out of deference to her sister-in-law, she didn’t dare say much.
Her sister-in-law, General Lin’s legitimate daughter, Lin Yun... though she appeared harmless, was ruthless when pushed. Her brother... was afraid of his wife!
Despite her many objections, Bo Jin had to keep them to herself. Annoyed by these thoughts, she picked up her phone and opened the comic she was currently reading, "18 Ways for Da Hui Wolf to Eat Little Bunny." After just two panels, a small smile touched her lips.
That little bunny is so cute! She looks so sweet.
And Da Hui dotes on her so much!
Bo Jin had never married, but she found herself really wanting a child like Little Rabbit.
That white little belly, that fluffy little tail... oh, how she’d love one.
She waited online every day for updates and tipped generously after reading.
She was particularly annoyed by a user called ’Da Hui’s Little Fairy,’ who seemed very rich and always splurged.
As if she’s the only one with money!
She has money too!
After finishing the latest Chapter, Bo Jin’s mind was filled with images of the adorable little rabbit. She tipped 100,000 comic coins. Her user ID, ’Little Bunny’s Mama,’ left a message with the tip: [Baby, Mama loves you~~]
Heh, that ’Da Hui’s Little Fairy’ was always fantasizing about Da Hui Wolf and flaunting that she’d gotten a TO signature.
It’s just a TO signature, so what? She had one too, a little bunny hand-drawn by Author Rabbit herself!
And speaking of which, the background in the drawing looked quite similar to their Si Garden; it must mean she and Author Rabbit were fated to meet! Ahh!
Bo Jin checked the total fan value. Unacceptable! That ’Da Hui’s Little Fairy’ actually had a higher fan value than her.
Hmph, it’s just money, isn’t it?! I’ll overwhelm her with it!
A notification scrolled across the Fengyun Comics webpage—
’Little Bunny’s Mama’ has tipped ’18 Ways for Da Hui Wolf to Eat Little Bunny’ 1,000,000 coins.
Seeing her ID at the top of the list, Bo Jin typed a line: [So happy~ Another day of loving my baby!]
「Si Garden.」
Gu Anxi had been staying in the Orchid Room for two full days, sleeping at night and sleeping during the day!
At breakfast, Bo Xichen’s mother looked at her son. "Xichen, shouldn’t you exercise some restraint?"
Bo Xichen smiled. "Anxi is starting school today. I will."
Of course, he wouldn’t tell his mother the audacious things Gu Anxi had said about his... performance.
Just then, his mother’s "precious Anxi" walked over, yawning, and sat down. "Good morning, Father Bo. Good morning, Mother Bo."
Father Bo placed his hand on her forehead, and feeling that she was fine, he relaxed, though he couldn’t help but glance at his son.
Mother Bo did likewise, staring sternly at her son.
Gu Anxi probably sensed something. Her face flushed a bit, but as she lowered her head to eat breakfast, she snuck a mischievous smile in his direction.
Bo Xichen shot her a warning look!
At that moment, Bo Jin also arrived. The sight of Gu Anxi irked her, and she acted very coldly.
Lin Yun, Bo Xichen’s mother, noticed her sister-in-law didn’t seem to like her Anxi. Coupled with the memory of Bo Jin lending Jing to Tang Yuan last time, she felt quite displeased.
This Jing was something her precious Anxi came up with, wasn’t it?
And she gave it to that utterly conscienceless mother?
What’s more, Bo Jin liked Gu Mingzhu, and her words, both overt and subtle, implied Gu Mingzhu was better than her Anxi in every way—
Well, she couldn’t see what was so great about Gu Mingzhu anyway!
Still, Xichen was her son. It wasn’t up to anyone else to dictate whom he married.
With her, Lin Yun, around, who would dare make a peep?
