Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 348 - 349: Thrashing Gu Mingzhu! The boss is so beautiful today!
The fifth day of the lunar New Year.
The Bo Family, the wealthiest family in Beicheng, hosted a banquet in Si Garden to celebrate the addition of a new member to their family.
The entire Si Garden was filled with joy. The new member was good-looking, ambitious, emotionally intelligent, generous, and humble—a perfect match for Xichen.
Who in the Bo Family wouldn’t like them?
The party started at 6:00 p.m. Cars of Beicheng’s elite constantly arrived at Si Garden. These cars, all luxury vehicles, each cost at least ten million.
There weren’t many guests invited by the Bo Family—probably just around twenty or so households, amounting to about a hundred people, all close friends and relatives.
The scenery in Si Garden was quite remarkable. Even after a long winter, many rare flowers bloomed. Lady Bo opened up several gardens and courtyards for guests to enjoy and appreciate the scenic view, and had some minor celebrities playing jazz music in certain halls. It wasn’t boisterous, but very atmospheric.
The catering was taken very seriously, with the best chefs of Beicheng invited to prepare food ranging from Western cuisines and French dishes to some well-known snacks made on the spot...
Lady Bo had put in a lot of effort, making the whole experience grand and fashionable. All the ladies were full of praise.
The men gathered to discuss their own matters. Naturally, Bo Nianyao was the center of attention—
The head honcho is still the head honcho!
Bo Xichen accompanied the elders, conducting himself with perfect propriety.
In the ladies’ gathering, a servant of the Bo family leaned in and whispered something to Lady Bo. Raising a delicate eyebrow, Lady Bo grinned. "Well, if it isn’t the famous Mrs. Gu of Beicheng. I shall go greet her."
As she spoke, she beckoned someone over, instantly filling the air with an intoxicating fragrance. "Darling, come accompany me."
Gu Anxi nodded and accompanied Lady Bo to greet the guests.
Mrs. Gu arrived exactly at 7:30 p.m., when all the other ladies were already there, intending to impress everyone with her and Mingzhu’s dazzling entrance.
However, her plan failed. An early arrival might have surprised some of the ladies, but Gu Anxi’s beauty had already been on full display. So, how could they be impressed by this mother-daughter pair now?
Gu Yuanshan and Tang Yuan accompanied Gu Mingzhu as she stepped out of the car. Just as they did, they saw Lady Bo and Gu Anxi standing together, talking. Gu Anxi, who usually wore black and white, now wore a fruit-colored, off-the-shoulder party dress. The waist of the dress was cinched tight, and the back was modestly exposed, perfectly showing off her figure.
Especially notable was Gu Anxi’s shoulder-length black hair, which she rarely wore up but had tonight styled into an elegant updo, revealing her swan-like neck and perfectly accentuating her refined aura. Her exceptional beauty, combined with her height, made her the absolute center of attention in the crowd.
She looked incredibly sweet and beautiful, making one yearn to hold her.
Bo Xichen, for one, really wanted to...
Her appearance made Gu Mingzhu’s white dress seem overly prim and lacking in sweetness by comparison.
Tang Yuan whispered, "Mingzhu, perform well in front of the elders, and you can turn the situation around."
Gu Mingzhu smiled faintly. "Of course." She never made mistakes on such occasions.
As they were speaking, Lady Bo had already approached and was exchanging pleasantries.
Gu Yuanshan keenly noticed that neither Bo Nianyao nor Bo Xichen had come to greet them personally; only the women of the family had come out.
He must be truly furious with him.
Gu Yuanshan withdrew his thoughts and looked at Gu Anxi, his feelings becoming increasingly complicated.
This daughter of his was quite outstanding. If it weren’t for her unfortunate eight-character birthdate, which made her unsuitable to remain in the Gu family, she would certainly have become a radiant pearl of the Gu household.
What a pity, he thought, then gestured slightly to the side. "Congwen, present the gift to Anxi."
Shen Congwen, in his fine checkered suit and looking very refined, presented the gift.
Gu Anxi accepted the gift and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Those two words, "Mr. Gu," shattered Gu Yuanshan’s heart.
He laughed helplessly, a bleak expression on his face. He couldn’t blame the child for disliking him; after all, he truly had... abandoned her.
Just as the atmosphere was growing tense, a Black Phantom car pulled up.
The people who alighted from the car left everyone stunned—
They don’t know him!
Especially one of them, Zhang Niuniu; his inherent aura was such that even a dragon robe couldn’t ennoble him, and his hair was still a short, yellow-dyed crew cut. Calling him a scion of a wealthy family didn’t quite seem to fit, yet the car he drove was worth over ten million!
The other man with him, however, was suave and possessed an extraordinary air.
It’s Zhou Yunchen!
Gu Yuanshan clenched his teeth. Shen Congwen discreetly took a step back.
Zhou Yunchen approached with an elegant grace, his bearing indescribably fine. He generously praised Lady Bo’s beauty, flattering her into a state of delight. In a low voice, Lady Bo asked Gu Anxi, "Is he your friend?"
Gu Anxi nodded.
Lady Bo’s smile widened even more. "Mr. Zhou, you’re too kind! Please, come in and take a seat!"
Zhou Yunchen had his companion, Yellow Hair, present the gift. Yellow Hair handed the gift to Gu Anxi and couldn’t help but stare a little.
Damn, Boss is gorgeous today!
As Zhou Yunchen was about to go in, he spotted Gu Yuanshan’s party. He turned around with a charming smile. "Mr. Gu has also arrived? And Congwen, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other. Recently, you’ve been avoiding me like a mouse avoids a cat. Have I offended you in any way, hmm?"
Shen Congwen’s refined, fair face instantly flushed from white to red, and then the red seemed to darken with suppressed anger.
Zhou Yunchen, how despicable!
Zhou Yunchen relished his changing expressions, feigning surprise. "Could it be because last time I..."
"I haven’t been avoiding you. Let’s arrange to meet later," Shen Congwen said calmly, changing the subject, well aware of Zhou Yunchen’s malicious nature.
Gu Yuanshan felt even more apologetic towards this capable assistant, and his impression of this fellow Zhou Yunchen worsened. He’d gotten the upper hand and was still feigning innocence!
Zhou Yunchen’s gaze flickered between the master and servant like an electric current. Then he chuckled. "Mr. Gu, some collaborations might be worth reconsidering."
Gu Yuanshan’s heart skipped a beat.
Could Mr. Zhou really be serious?
He couldn’t help but glance at Shen Congwen, who showed no particular expression...
At this moment, more guests arrived.
It was none other than Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing came with Ding Ning, surprisingly accompanied by Grandma Chen and Gu Ning.
Grandma Chen immediately went to join Gu Anxi. Meanwhile, Gu Changqing said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, "I was wondering what the big deal was. So, it turns out Brother Zhou also enjoys dog meat. But Zhou, that dog is my father’s beloved pet. You take what he cherishes like this; did my father actually agree to it?"
Zhou Yunchen smiled, his gaze fixed directly on Shen Congwen’s face. "That depends on Mr. Gu’s choice."
It was only thanks to Shen Congwen’s excellent self-control that he didn’t erupt on the spot.
He just couldn’t understand why Zhou Yunchen insisted on targeting him. They merely served different masters, that was all.
Just then, Gu Mingzhu suddenly found Yellow Hair very familiar. Then she remembered the person she had encountered that night. That person was clearly a little hoodlum; how did he get invited to this banquet?
Gu Mingzhu bit her lip. "Dad, I know that man. He’s just a thug. Didn’t anyone check his invitation?"
Before Gu Anxi could speak, a cool voice interjected from the side, "He is my guest. Is there a problem, Miss Gu?"
