Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 310 - 311: Gu Anxi is wearing her uncle’s black shirt for a magazine cover
When Gu Ning said this, Tang Yuan was even more exasperated.
Lady Gu Ning, completely unfazed, replied, "Why should I tell you? Am I obligated to do so?"
Tang Yuan turned to Gu Yuanshan.
Gu Yuanshan, still trying to maintain an air of fairness in front of Gu Anxi, cleared his throat lightly and said, "You two are always bickering whenever you’re together. We’re all family!"
Gu Ning was about to speak when Wang Keru interrupted, "Mr. Gu, don’t confuse family relations. You may all be family, but that doesn’t include us."
Gu Yuanshan, ever diplomatic, replied, "Anxi is certainly a child of the Gu family."
Gu Anxi’s expression was impassive; she remained silent.
Wang Keru smiled. "Anxi was raised on my family’s rice, and now she’s eating the Bo Family’s rice. What does that have to do with your family?"
Gu Yuanshan was so taken aback by her words that he couldn’t find a response, but Wang Keru still wasn’t satisfied.
Gu Anxi glanced at her, and Wang Keru immediately, almost magically, fell silent and sat down on a nearby chair.
Surprisingly, Gu Ning also went over and sat down. She grumbled bitterly, "Under Aunt Gu Rong’s tutelage, your ability to infuriate people has certainly grown!"
Gu Rong!?
Gu Yuanshan and Tang Yuan were both shocked. Gu Rong was the eldest elder of the Gu family and had been missing for twenty years.
Gu Ning had actually seen her!
Gu Yuanshan looked worried, but Gu Ning simply smiled lightly. "Brother, if you can’t manage the household, you could invite Aunt Gu Rong to Beicheng. She can personally restore the family rules for you."
Gu Yuanshan’s expression faltered slightly. "Gu Ning!"
Gu Ning wasn’t scared of him and continued to speak her mind. "The last time I saw Aunt Gu Rong, she was as imposing as ever. I barely dared to breathe."
She paused briefly and continued with a hint of malice, "That kind of aura... Brother and Sister-in-law should really experience it. A family should share joys and sorrows, right?"
Gu Yuanshan was already speechless.
In these large clans, elders were held in high regard. Even he, as the Family Head, had to defer to them. If Aunt Gu Rong really returned to Beicheng, he couldn’t even imagine the consequences.
Tang Yuan, however, didn’t understand the gravity of the situation and asked, "Gu Ning, are you that scared of her?"
Gu Yuanshan reprimanded her, "You mustn’t be disrespectful to your elders."
This was the first time he had spoken to Tang Yuan with such a tone in front of outsiders; she was momentarily at a loss for how to react.
Gu Yuanshan knew his words had been harsh and tried to comfort her. Luckily, Chen Shu knew how to diffuse the tension and said it was getting late, so they should start the photoshoot.
After saying this, her gaze fell upon Gu Anxi, and internally she was full of praise. Such high-end appeal! Ordinary beauty is skin-deep, but true high-end beauty lies in the bone structure.
The young woman standing before her was strikingly handsome. From her hair to her skin to her features, everything about her was impeccable.
Chen Shu took her to change. Gu Mingzhu had brought her own evening gown and had even prepared one for Gu Anxi – a white, very conventional dress.
Initially, there was nothing wrong with it, but Chen Shu now felt this dress didn’t suit Gu Anxi.
She went through many others, but none were suitable, which troubled her greatly.
At this point, Gu Anxi removed her jacket and approached. "Still haven’t picked one?"
Chen Shu’s eyes lit up as she stared at Gu Anxi. "Your shirt... is it a men’s style?"
Gu Anxi looked down. "Oh, it’s my Little Uncle’s. I wear it as pajamas... I woke up late and didn’t have time to change."
Chen Shu slapped her thigh excitedly. "That’s it! This is the one!"
Then, she began ordering her team around. "Come, apply makeup. Just a little touch-up will do. The most important thing is to keep it natural!"
Because Gu Anxi’s natural attributes were already so good they were maddening! Nothing more is needed!
She then glanced at Gu Anxi’s long, straight legs. She was wearing plain GG flats and a simple black shirt, exuding an indescribable, striking handsomeness.
Masculine yet feminine, assertive yet yielding! Chen Shu could only think of these eight characters to describe her; it was truly perfect!
「Meanwhile, outside the tent」
Tang Yuan and Gu Mingzhu were having a private conversation.
Tang Yuan was worried. "Mingzhu, maybe we should cancel the two-person spread."
A cold smirk played on Gu Mingzhu’s lips. "Mom, don’t worry. We agreed before. I’ll stand in front, and Gu Anxi will be in the back. Besides, my haute couture gown will definitely crush hers. Nothing here... can be more stunning than this dress."
Tang Yuan thought about it and felt slightly reassured.
She whispered to Gu Yuanshan, "Later, you mustn’t favor one over the other. Don’t just help others and forget Mingzhu."
Gu Yuanshan chuckled softly. "What are you talking about?"
Tang Yuan flashed a gentle smile and called someone over to touch up Gu Mingzhu’s makeup. She then leaned in and whispered to Gu Mingzhu, "In a bit, Mom will have someone take a solo picture of you. Post it casually, and the school situation should be resolved, understand?"
Gu Mingzhu grinned confidently. "Mom, I understand."
She was determined to win the title of Campus Belle. As for Campus Beau, Gu Anxi could just be the tomboy then!
Just as Gu Mingzhu was brimming with confidence, Chen Shu emerged with Gu Anxi.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
Where was the evening gown?
Why was she wearing a men’s black shirt?
Gu Mingzhu immediately realized whose shirt it was. She pressed her lips together tightly, her fingernails digging into her palms.
She felt a pang of jealousy!
Bo Xichen was the dream of all the young women in Beicheng!
And the one competing with her for him was, of all people, Gu Anxi.
Chen Shu sensed everyone’s thoughts and explained with a smile, "This child is a great prospect. We couldn’t find a gown worthy of her in time. This shirt, however, perfectly highlights her unique aura and complements Mingzhu beautifully when they stand together."
Gu Mingzhu sneered. Can this kind of clothing even be featured on a cover?
Wait until the magazine is released, then Gu Anxi can cry all she wants! I’ll let her know what being thoroughly crushed feels like!
Chen Shu directed the lighting, positioning, and photography, all in one smooth flow.
Gu Mingzhu, having had many photoshoots, naturally knew how to pose to accentuate her best angles.
Gu Anxi, on the other hand, was remarkably cooperative...
Tang Yuan looked at Mingzhu in her haute couture gown and then at Gu Anxi in a simple black shirt, and the difference in status was immediately apparent to her.
Just think about it, when people look at photos, who doesn’t prefer to see grand dresses and precious jewels? Gu Anxi’s outfit is so shabby!
Lady Gu Ning, however, disagreed. Having been immersed in the business world for many years, she knew Chen Shu. Absolute professionalism: if you’re high-end, she can make you look even more so. Gu Anxi meeting her is a true alliance of the strong.
Wang Keru, beside her, whispered, "Maiden Da Hui, don’t you think Anxi’s outfit is a bit too shabby?"
"What do you know!" Lady Gu Ning shot her a disdainful look. "This is called fashion! This is high-end appeal! If you really don’t get it, just look at your Xichen. He’s the epitome of high-end appeal."
In her heart, however, Lady Gu Ning was grumbling: Da Hui and Miss Rabbit must be so happy together!
Then it suddenly hit her—That hairless Da Hui, the black shirt!
For a moment, Lady Gu Ning couldn’t process it. My Da Hui, the one I’ve fantasized about for so long, my dream husband, is actually a... a... junior!
Lady Gu Ning felt as if she’d been struck by lightning!
