Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 287 - 288 Wang Keru! We grow freely in Anxi
Bo Xichen whispered in her ear, "Not turning Fengxi off tonight?"
"Bo Xichen?" she huffed.
He teased her relentlessly. "Last time, didn’t you want Fengxi to see who Bo Xichen’s little baby is? What, did you forget?"
Gu Anxi’s face burned. "I’m going to Aunt Bo Jin’s place. She said she’s feeling a bit lonely." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
She had just reached the door when the big bad wolf caught her. He held her shoulder with one hand and turned off Fengxi with the other. These past few days, while she recuperated, he had been forced to exercise restraint.
Gu Anxi clung to his shoulder, her other hand secretly reaching over to turn Fengxi back on—
That night, Fengxi endured a barrage of affection that an AI so young should never have had to witness...
Fengxi recorded the entire process. After repeated data analysis, it submitted a report to Professor Bo—
After careful consideration, Professor Bo resolved to strive for even greater perfection next time!
Gu Anxi felt like she had dug her own grave!!!
In the early morning, Bo Xichen got up.
He picked up the watch from his bedside table and checked the time; it was already seven o’clock.
Gu Anxi was still sleeping, her small face buried in her pillow, both hands clutching the quilt. She looked quite adorable.
He smiled, then got out of bed.
He went to the dining room and ate breakfast with his parents.
Mother Bo asked softly, "Isn’t Anxi supposed to pick up her mother? Why isn’t she up yet?"
Bo Xichen smiled. "Let her sleep a little longer. I can go pick her up."
"How can that be? Anxi’s mother hasn’t seen her for days; she must miss her terribly," Mother Bo said disapprovingly.
Bo Xichen just smiled.
Mother Bo looked puzzled. Just then, Father Bo coughed lightly. "Xichen already said to let Anxi sleep a little longer. What are you meddling for?"
Mother Bo stared at her son. After a long moment, she finally said, "Anxi has only just recovered. Xichen, you really are..."
Unable to endure the conversation any longer, Father Bo blushed and walked out.
Just then, Bo Jin arrived. "Big Brother," she asked, "is Anxi up yet? I’m planning to go to the airport with them to pick her up."
Mother Bo came out, one eyebrow arched. "Go ask your precious nephew. Here’s the plan: the two of us will go with Xichen. Otherwise, it won’t seem grand enough. Nianyao, is the motorcade ready?"
Father Bo spoke gently, "Look at you. You always love such ostentatious displays. Sometimes, it’s just not necessary."
Mother Bo put on an innocent expression. "But Anxi’s mother really enjoys and appreciates such spectacles."
"Ah, if that’s the case, then it is necessary." Father Bo mused for a moment. "Then have Bo Jin accompany you. We can’t let Anxi’s mother feel we’re not taking this seriously enough. We’ll host a banquet at home tonight. Everyone living in Si Garden should come and join the festivities."
He chuckled. "These two kids are practically settled then. This time, we’ll make it official, and then we’ll truly be one family."
Bo Jin listened attentively from the side, her heart blooming with joy.
Soon, Anxi would belong to their Bo family.
She gazed at her elder brother with an unprecedented gentleness.
Bo Nianyao felt a shiver from his younger sister’s gaze. Bo Jin had been sensible since childhood and had never actively asked for anything. Yet, the last time she came over, she had stammered, asking if Anxi could stay with her for a while.
He had been stunned at the time.
Was Bo Jin too smitten?
Back then, her elder brother (Bo Nianyao) had sighed, "You can come over for a visit when you have time, but having her stay over is out of the question."
As a result, Bo Jin started visiting him constantly. The number of times she had come over this week was more than in the entire past month...
He glanced at his sister. "Then I’ll have to trouble you to make the trip."
Bo Jin replied respectfully, "It’s no trouble at all. Of course, I must be attentive to Xichen’s matters."
Attentive? Father Bo thought. Hmph, more like obsessed!
Father Bo didn’t expose her. He let her be and went to attend to other matters.
「In the morning」
As soon as Wang Keru stepped off the private jet, she was absolutely delighted by the ostentatious display of the motorcade. She tucked her hair back, revealing a large "pigeon’s egg" diamond ring, and laughed with an air of dignified reserve. "So many cars! You’re truly too kind, Mother Xichen."
Mother Bo, her smile as radiant as ever, said, "It’s only proper. Come, come, get in the car."
Wang Keru gazed at the row of black Rolls-Royce Phantoms and said, feigning difficulty, "I don’t even know which one to choose."
Mother Bo, as warm as a spring breeze, replied, "We can each take one."
Wang Keru beamed even more. My daughter has married well!
In the end, she still chose to ride in her precious son-in-law’s car, while Mother Bo and Bo Jin took another.
"Anxi’s mother’s personality is quite different from Anxi’s, isn’t it!" Bo Jin whispered.
Mother Bo adopted a serious expression. "Speaking of which, Anxi takes after the old Gu family of Beicheng. Look how much she resembles Gu Changqing—not just in looks, but in temperament too."
Bo Jin remained silent.
Mother Bo admonished her sister-in-law, "Don’t you even think about bringing Gu Changqing back to raise. He’s a grown man!"
Bo Jin chuckled. "Sister-in-law, where is your imagination taking you?"
Mother Bo sighed. "Actually, with that child Anxi... I really don’t know how she turned out the way she did."
Bo Jin also sighed. "Yes, she’s really not much like her mother!"
Regardless of the resemblance, she was undoubtedly Anxi’s mother. When Wang Keru arrived at the Bo family residence, she naturally received the most lavish hospitality. At the banquet, in front of all the Bo family elders and juniors, Mother Bo, beaming like a spring breeze, casually yet masterfully—with a touch of embellishment—brought out the matter of the 3.6 billion dowry—
It instantly stunned everyone present!
She knew many people questioned Xichen’s choice. They felt he should have found a girl from a family of equal standing in Beicheng, instead of bringing back a young woman from a small place like Qingcheng.
Most of them felt stifled and unconvinced!
Of course, Mother Bo knew. These people were dying to parade any remotely presentable daughters from their families before Xichen...
Heh!
Forget Xichen, even she, his mother, wouldn’t give them a second look!
Now, by casually mentioning the 3.6 billion, the desired effect was achieved—
Shocked, aren’t you!
Impressive, isn’t it?
This was precisely the FEEL Mother Bo was aiming for!
Seeing the stunned silence around her, she finally picked up her teacup, smiled at Wang Keru, and said, "Anxi is so capable. It must be thanks to your excellent upbringing, Ke Ru."
Wang Keru casually brushed her hair back, the "pigeon’s egg" on her hand dazzling. She too smiled politely, the picture of poise. "Mother Xichen, you’re too kind. Actually, our Anxi has always been allowed to grow freely. I don’t manage her much."
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
Wang Keru laughed again and continued, "This child is just so filial. She’d only been in Beicheng for about a month when she transferred two hundred million to my account for pocket money. I was thinking of saving it up for her dowry, but who knew the child would take care of it herself without a word."
After taking a sip of tea, she added, "Actually, 3.6 billion is alright, I suppose! Anxi said she has already bought the mountain across from here. She wants to build a mansion like Si Garden to have me move in, all because I idly remarked that we’re outsiders from a small place and would surely be looked down upon in Beicheng. I heard that you need to own property in Beicheng to avoid being discriminated against. As soon as this child heard that, she went and bought the land without a peep."
Someone whispered, "How much did it cost to buy an entire mountain?"
