Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 352 - 353: If you dare to tell the truth, I’ll kill you!
Bo Nianyao’s lips curled slightly. Anxi really has his wife’s flair from back in the day! Just based on the energy she showed earlier, Gu Mingzhu already lost!
Poor Yuanshan!
Mrs. Bo also thought, Her darling Anxi is truly domineering! Hehe, anyone who makes their way in the world should have several capable subordinates! She rather liked the kid, Yellow Hair. He was honest and well-behaved. It was clear he was fond of her darling Anxi, though it was more admiration. Her darling Anxi was just that awesome!
After Gu Anxi finished speaking, Gu Mingzhu sneered, "Who do you think you are? The Gu family will never invite you, just you watch."
Gu Anxi let out a soft chuckle. "Really? Well, let’s wait and see!"
At this moment, Yellow Hair spoke, "Actually, I didn’t have any interest in their family banquet, but it sounds like it would be quite cool, impressive, and awesome to go, so I guess I’ll reluctantly attend!"
Masterful control of the scene indeed!
Shen Congwen stood to one side, and suddenly, he had a strange feeling: the aura emanating from Gu Anxi reminded him of someone. Zhou Yunchen! Both were overwhelmingly domineering and somewhat...unscrupulous!
At this moment, Zhou Yunchen appeared beside him from nowhere, quietly threatening, "If you dare to reveal the truth, I’ll kill you!"
Shen Congwen clenched his fingers tightly, guessing that Gu Anxi was about to go all out against the Gu family.
Mr. Gu didn’t know, but Shen Congwen did. An Pu... was entirely under Gu Anxi’s control. He was truly in a predicament he couldn’t speak of.
At this moment, Gu Yuanshan was even considering Zhou Yunchen, turning his head to him. "CEO Zhou, you don’t mind if we take the man away, right?"
Zhou Yunchen replied indifferently, "Feel free! He’s just an ordinary employee; we don’t have that close a relationship."
Gu Yuanshan was relieved; as long as he didn’t offend Zhou Yunchen, that was good enough.
He was extremely disappointed in Gu Anxi. He couldn’t imagine that this girl could be so intolerant. Mingzhu was her sister, yet she had found such a ruffian to do such a thing.
He observed further that the Bo family didn’t intervene, guessing they probably had reservations about this matter too.
At this moment, Gu Yuanshan had an idea. If Anxi wasn’t accepted by the Bo family, wouldn’t it be Mingzhu’s turn by default?
Tang Yuan actually had similar thoughts.
She looked at Gu Anxi and questioned sharply, "Why are you siding with him?"
Gu Anxi lowered her gaze. "Because on my birthday, he gave me a cake without asking for anything in return. That alone surpasses many people."
Gu Yuanshan’s face flushed. Tang Yuan was also in an awkward position but held her ground.
Gu Anxi paid them no mind. She turned to Yellow Hair. "It’s no big deal. At most, you’ll spend half a month to a month inside, and I guarantee you won’t get a criminal record. Even if the whole world believes you did something you didn’t do, I won’t."
She even smiled. "I’ll arrange for good food and drink in there. Just consider it a vacation."
Yellow Hair looked a little dejected. "Boss, I always seem to cause you trouble."
"How is it trouble?" Gu Anxi patted his shoulder. "Isn’t it right to stick your neck out for a friend?"
Yellow Hair’s eyes lit up instantly. Friend!
Gu Anxi smiled faintly. "After you get out, that car will be yours."
Yellow Hair was overjoyed, turning to Gu Mingzhu. "Please, hurry up and have me arrested! Let me go inside, then find the best lawyer to prosecute me."
That’s right! No matter how good their lawyer is, they won’t be able to convict me. My boss has a hundred ways to deal with them! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Gu Mingzhu looked disgusted. This guy must be nuts!
The people around also felt this was a complete farce. However, everyone was smart enough not to take sides; picking the wrong one would lead to embarrassment later...
Eventually, Yellow Hair was taken away, and Gu Anxi stood there watching for a long time.
Yellow Hair seemed quite relaxed. After all, spending half a month in jail meant he’d get a car worth over ten million when he got out. Only a fool wouldn’t go!
The show, it seemed, was over.
Everyone had lost the mood for enjoyment, especially since the atmosphere had turned so sour. Grandma Chen couldn’t even bear to look at Gu Yuanshan and his wife, and left first with Gu Ning.
Gu Changqing looked at Gu Yuanshan and Tang Yuan with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, finding everything quite amusing.
What he found most interesting was that he took an extra look at Shen Congwen.
As the guests left one by one, Mrs. Bo was quite unhappy. Gu Mingzhu, a mere girl, had ruined a perfectly good banquet with her selfish intentions. Although her darling Anxi would teach them a lesson later, she was still annoyed.
Therefore, she fully supported Gu Anxi. It would be best if Gu Anxi pushed the Gu family into a situation where they couldn’t save face. Let them learn how formidable her darling Anxi was!
That night, Gu Anxi had just returned to the Orchid Room from Mrs. Bo’s place when Bo Xichen summoned her.
"There’s surveillance footage of that place. Why didn’t you let anyone see it?" Little Uncle Bo asked quietly, sitting behind his desk.
Gu Anxi had already changed into casual home clothes. She walked over, propped herself up, and sat on the desk in front of him.
He lowered his gaze. "No manners." Yet, he didn’t make her get down.
Gu Anxi thought for a moment, then said, "Crushing them all at once would be too boring. Besides, I like to give people some face."
He chuckled. "Give face? Why do I get the feeling you have some nasty tricks up your sleeve?"
Gu Anxi said, perfectly straight-faced, "Think about it. The Gu family always acts so high and mighty, as if it’s the end of the world if anyone offends them. So, I have to let them taste what it’s like to beg others."
Bo Xichen was simply... speechless. He had guessed it long ago, and his parents had probably figured it out too. Yet, everyone indulged her.
He sighed softly. "Gu Yuanshan and his wife... let’s not talk about them. By the way, your dress tonight was very pretty. Why did you change out of it?"
"Because I sensed someone’s wicked intentions, I changed," she said, going over to wrap her arms around his neck. "Little Uncle, aren’t I especially good at being thrifty and sensible?"
His eyes were filled with light laughter.
"No reward at all?" she urged.
Bo Xichen flipped through his documents. "You’ll get a reward if you put that dress back on."
Is that so?! Gu Anxi immediately hopped off the desk. "I’ll go change right away!"
Bo Xichen rested his forehead in his hand, chuckling helplessly...
Gu Yuanshan and his entourage were the first to leave. After returning home, they naturally began to scheme.
Tang Yuan, the renowned Madam Gu of Beicheng, came up with an idea. "Why don’t we just have him tortured until he confesses? I doubt he’ll hold out."
Gu Yuanshan waved his hand. "Inappropriate." He had sobered up a bit by now.
The Gu family indeed had considerable influence in Beicheng, but the Bo family was still above them. Since the Bo family hadn’t expressed their stance, acting rashly could be problematic.
Gu Yuanshan thought for a moment, then looked at his wife and daughter. "How about this: let’s invite Aunt Gu Rong to discuss it. I imagine she won’t ignore something concerning Mingzhu’s reputation."
Tang Yuan became agitated. "Aunt Gu Rong, Aunt Gu Rong! Yuanshan, have you forgotten that she slapped me in this very study? It doesn’t matter if I’m wronged, but are you going to let our Mingzhu suffer too?"
Tang Yuan continued, "Mingzhu’s movie is almost ready for production. We can’t afford the slightest mistake at this crucial juncture."
