Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 342 - 343: Who’s Superior and Who’s Inferior, It’s Clearly Shown!
Jiangcheng.
Ronghua Grand Hotel.
The Wang Family was hosting a banquet, and all the influential figures of Jiangcheng had arrived, waiting for it to begin.
Old Wang and his wife sat down. He frowned, "Why hasn’t Ke Ru arrived yet?"
The eldest sister-in-law leaned in and whispered, "She bought a low-cost ticket; it might take a while."
The second sister-in-law also chimed in, "Ke Ru has it hard, Father. Don’t blame her. After all, her current situation is tough, and... it isn’t the same as before."
The Wang Family members around the table dismissed these thoughts, no longer taking their youngest sister seriously.
After the incident with Gu Yuntian, the Gu family collapsed. Although Wang Keru had remarried well, she was merely a stepmother and held no real financial power.
They had thought her situation pitiful enough, only to hear that she had divorced again...
Now, not only did they disregard her, but they could also kick her while she was down.
Quite a few of the Wang Family members who had been slighted by Wang Keru, or simply disliked her, were looking forward to venting their frustrations...
At this moment, the second brother of the Wang Family, Wang Keren, rushed over. "Father, it seems more people are arriving."
Old Wang felt a shiver. "Is it the one from the province?"
Wang Keren smiled. "It should be him. Six Rolls-Royce Phantoms arrived. It can’t be wrong. Father, you are so respected! This is someone everyone wants to invite but can’t, and surprisingly, he really came."
Old Wang smiled modestly. "He and I have been very good friends for decades. We were childhood friends. How could he not come?"
He said excitedly, "Alright! Kegui, Keren, bring your wives and accompany me downstairs to greet my childhood friend."
He sighed again. "I haven’t seen him in so many years; I’m very excited!"
The people around him showered him with praises and compliments, saying how only Old Wang could invite such a personage to Jiangcheng, making him quite happy.
A group of people rushed down to the lobby on the first floor. The cars stopped smoothly, and the drivers began to unload the gifts. Each one was nothing short of a spectacle.
All of them were treasures not easily come by!
Old Wang’s eyes shone. He disregarded his status to open the car door. "Old Brother Lin, I’m so glad you’re finally here."
He understood that the visitor was a provincial leader; for him to take time out of his busy schedule for a simple meal was a tremendous honor! In Jiangcheng, it truly was an honor beyond compare.
As the car door opened, Old Wang was stunned.
It wasn’t his Old Brother Lin, but an extraordinarily regal young man.
The Wang Family members who followed him down were also stunned!
At this moment, the young man got out of the car calmly. "Are you Old Master Wang?"
Upon hearing him, Old Wang realized he recognized the voice, yet he hadn’t invited such a guest. Moreover, he hadn’t seen such a figure in Jiangcheng before.
Just as he was wondering, Bo Xichen gracefully walked to the rear door of the car and opened it.
Old Wang was elated again. It turns out Old Lin was sitting in the back seat, and this must be his personal secretary! Old Lin really was a big shot now; even his assistant was so extraordinary, radiating an aura of grandeur.
Old Wang understood. Although they were childhood friends, the man held high power and status, so he couldn’t be treated casually. More reverence would be needed to maintain this relationship long-term.
So he contained his excitement and waited for his old buddy to emerge, his mind already rehearsing a string of pleasantries.
But, there was another twist.
The one who got out of the car wasn’t his Old Lin. Instead, it was his daughter, the one who could supposedly barely afford a plane ticket!
Wang Keru was wearing a pale green mink coat over a leather skirt, her long hair styled into an elegant updo befitting a wealthy lady, and a 50-carat aquamarine ring sparkling on her hand.
Her skin was fair, her hands delicate, and her figure was excellent.
Gu Anxi, on the other hand, was very low-key, still dressed in warm, fluffy clothing... He wasn’t about to outshine his mother.
Wang Keru’s grand appearance completely dazzled the Wang Family, especially the eldest sister-in-law, who stammered, "Ke Ru... you... why are you dressed like this?"
Was this outfit borrowed? Is the jewel on her hand real? And who is this handsome and incredibly regal young man with her?
Wang Keru casually flicked her hair, and everyone’s gaze followed her hand—it was dazzlingly shiny!
Wang Keru smiled lightly. "If not this, what should I wear? By the way, this is Xichen, Anxi’s fiancé. They will be formally engaged in a few days."
The Wang Family’s second sister-in-law forced a smile. "Is he from Qingcheng?"
"Oh, no, his home is in Beicheng." Wang Keru seemed to remember something. "If it’s too much trouble for you to travel, we can leave our private jet for you. You can all join us for the festivities then."
Private jet?
The Wang Family was taken aback again.
Could it be true?
Old Wang’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the young man before him. "Is this true?"
Bo Xichen smiled faintly. "You can all head straight to Si Garden in Beicheng."
Everyone dismissed this. Si Garden... Who knew where that was! They all felt that even if he had some money, he was exaggerating.
Bo Xichen was not annoyed. He had always possessed a calm temperament; as the future head of the Bo Family, he naturally had to appear composed.
Now, Old Wang felt that his daughter Wang Keru also couldn’t be neglected. So, he asked his eldest and second daughters-in-law to entertain her, while he himself still had to focus on waiting for his old friend, Old Lin.
Just as he was getting anxious, his phone rang. Old Wang was overjoyed. "It’s a call from Old Brother Lin!"
He immediately answered the call, listening like an obedient grandson, but the more he listened, the more disappointed his expression became.
Bo Xichen turned his head. "Is that Lin Yuan?"
Wang Kegui chided softly, "How can you address Governor Lin by his name?"
Bo Xichen let out a faint laugh. "I’ve met him once or twice. Let me speak to him."
Old Wang was disheartened. Old Brother Lin said he couldn’t come! The food was getting cold, and only now did he say he couldn’t come!
His hand suddenly felt empty; Bo Xichen had taken the phone.
"Lin Yuan, this is Bo Xichen." He spoke softly, "I am in Jiangcheng, at the Ronghua Grand Hotel... Alright, hurry over."
After speaking, he returned the phone to Old Wang. "He’ll be here soon."
The Wang Family was stunned! They had heard it just now. The young man in front of them had called Lin Yuan directly! They could vaguely hear Governor Lin’s voice on the other end, and the tone didn’t sound right... it seemed rather submissive! Moreover, the person Old Wang couldn’t convince to come was now rushing over after just a few words from this young man? Who on earth was this young man?
Before, they thought he merely couldn’t be neglected; now, they realized he must be treated with the utmost reverence and care!
Old Wang personally accompanied him, his words full of praise...
The eldest and second sisters-in-law of the Wang Family chatted with Wang Keru, who now confidently took the lead.
The hierarchy of status, who was superior and who was inferior, was instantly clear.
