Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 686 - 687: What Bad Idea are You Up to Now?

Chapter 686: Chapter 687: What Bad Idea are You Up to Now?

Bo Qing gazed at Song Jia, his voice icy. "I’ll say it one more time: I don’t like other people influencing my decisions."

Song Jia lowered her eyes. "I understand."

However, she couldn’t stop herself from saying, "Bo Xichen is our biggest obstacle."

Before she could finish, Old Master Bo interjected with a "TSK, TSK," his voice laced with sarcasm. "It seems I have no status here at all. Xichen is the only male heir in our Bo Family. Bo Qing, your woman says he should die just because she wants him to. Without Xichen, what hope does the Bo Family have? Or is this woman really planning to birth a dozen children?"

Bo Qing looked at Song Jia. "Get out."

Feeling humiliated, Song Jia pursed her lips and left.

Old Master Bo watched her retreating figure and said coldly, "Women should not be spoiled."

His gaze shifted to Bo Qing. "Look, now she’s even making decisions for you."

Bo Qing’s voice was low. "I’m going upstairs to handle something."

Old Master Bo watched him go up, knowing he was going to talk things over with that Song Jia. Again, his tone was sarcastic. "You’d better be discussing proper business, not just fooling around."

Bo Qing reined in his irritation. After a long moment, he murmured, "I’m handling business matters."

Old Master Bo, a difficult man to deal with, chuckled. "Is there any business that I can’t be privy to?"

Before Bo Qing could speak, the old man waved his hand dismissively. "It’s normal for young men to have some hobbies; I’m not that unreasonable. But Bo Qing, let me tell you, definitely don’t let it lead to any deaths. The genes of our Bo Family’s next generation are very important. That woman isn’t good enough."

Bo Qing pursed his lips and slowly went upstairs.

Once Bo Qing was upstairs, Old Master Bo craned his neck to look, then mused, What nefarious scheme are those two cooking up now?

He might act muddled, but when it came to that woman wanting Xichen’s life, he was the first to disagree.

Meanwhile, Bo Qing arrived in his study upstairs, where Song Jia was applying an ice pack to her face.

Bo Qing moved to the sofa and sat down. "Does it still hurt?"

Song Jia shook her head. "It’s fine."

Her expression turned serious. "I’m afraid that old man downstairs suspects you. Our little act might not have convinced him."

Bo Qing remained silent, merely toying with the thumb ring on his hand.

Song Jia added, "Will he go back on his word and not help us?"

"He wouldn’t dare." Bo Qing chuckled faintly. "He’s in our hands now, and he’s an old fellow who clings to his life."

He looked up at Song Jia. "What’s the situation over there?"

Song Jia said in a low voice, "I heard the items were successfully transported; they’re probably researching them now. But don’t worry, those experts have all been dealt with. Even if they get the items, they won’t be able to develop the interception system."

Bo Qing smiled faintly. "Even if those experts were alive, they wouldn’t figure it out in under half a year. I just prefer things to be foolproof."

He looked at Song Jia. "By the way, I heard Min Xin has thrown in his lot with King Jingyao. He moves fast."

After a moment of silence, Song Jia said, "Min Xin cares a great deal about Zhou Yu. Should we..."

Bo Qing raised a hand. "Not necessary for now."

He looked back at Song Jia. "Remember my words: there won’t be a next time. I care for Xichen as well."

Song Jia lowered her gaze. "I thought you would want him to disappear. After all..."

Bo Qing said nothing, only sighing softly.

After a long pause, he finally said in a low voice, "Notify our people in South Africa to be ready to coordinate with my actions at any time."

Song Jia nodded. "I understand. It will be foolproof!"

Bo Qing gave a faint smile.

When Song Jia went downstairs, Old Master Bo was eating fruit. Seeing her descend, he spoke again with that sarcastic tone, "Young woman, let me tell you, following a man without proper status never leads to a good end."

Song Jia turned back and glared at him.

Old Master Bo took another bite of watermelon. "I’ll tell Bo Qing you glared at me. So duplicitous."

Song Jia didn’t want to bother with him and left directly.

She got into her car, which drove to a coffee shop. Inside, a young woman was already seated—none other than Gu Mingzhu.

Song Jia sat opposite her and said softly, "The information you provided was indeed useful, but my Senior Brother isn’t considering it for now."

Gu Mingzhu was taken aback, then said quickly, "But Zhou Yu is Min Xin’s Achilles’ heel! If you capture her, Min Xin will definitely tell us everything he knows."

Song Jia’s brow smoothed. "It’s a good suggestion, but now is not the time."

She looked at Gu Mingzhu and chuckled. "Do you think Min Xin will accept you if Zhou Yu disappears?"

Gu Mingzhu bit her lip. "I just can’t stand Gu Anxi’s arrogance."

Song Jia, remembering how she had been defeated by Gu Anxi time and again, ground her teeth in hatred. She suddenly said, "Gu Anxi seems to have a good relationship with Zhou Yu..."

Gu Mingzhu immediately nodded. "They do. If Zhou Yu were kidnapped, Gu Anxi would definitely try to save her."

Song Jia sneered. "It seems you really do hate Gu Anxi."

Gu Mingzhu’s fingers clenched. "Because of her appearance, I’ve lost far, far too much."

"That’s because you’re useless, not as skilled as her." Song Jia looked coldly at Gu Mingzhu. "You played a good hand abysmally."

Gu Mingzhu was furious, but she knew Song Jia’s capabilities and didn’t dare talk back.

When Song Jia had said her piece, she picked up her handbag and rose to leave. Gu Mingzhu called out to her, "Do you... have any plans?"

"No," Song Jia said nonchalantly. "As I said, Senior Brother won’t allow any action."

Because Gu Anxi is the apple of his eye; how could he bear to harm a single hair on her head?

Gu Mingzhu was greatly disappointed. She’d talked herself hoarse, but this woman remained unmoved!

She watched Song Jia’s retreating figure, biting her lip hard.

Next week, Gu Anxi’s Disney movie premieres. That will be Gu Anxi’s moment to shine again! How could she not hate her?

「Si Garden」

Gu Anxi spent several days recuperating before she finally felt better. Bo Xichen’s shoulder injury had also mostly healed, so she managed to get a few more days of sleep.

Every time Lady Bo saw their little pampered one yawning, she would look at her son disapprovingly. All she saw was their exertion, but there was no news of a grandchild.

Bo Xichen was also busy, constantly heading to King Jingyao’s place. Gu Anxi, on the other hand, after finishing up some matters, often stayed at home accompanying Father Bo and Mother Bo, or she would be in the Orchid Room researching things. When her father-in-law wanted to watch, she wouldn’t let him.

One day, she drove alone to the Cloud He Group. Just as she got out of the car, she saw Feng Mian.

Feng Mian was returning from outside, carrying a briefcase.

Seeing Gu Anxi, he raised an eyebrow. "Finally decided to come to work, huh?"

He greatly admired Gu Anxi. Ever since she had brought Ma and Wang to heel, she hadn’t needed to worry about the Cloud He Group at all; there were always people on duty managing things perfectly.

Gu Anxi closed the car door, looked at Feng Mian, and suddenly smiled. "It seems today is your birthday."

Feng Mian nodded. "Yes, it is."

Then, clutching his briefcase, he asked, "Do you have a gift for me?"
