Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 694 - 695 - Chu Changhe is no longer the Family Head (3000 words)
Chu Changhe’s voice was filled with grief and anger. "Mr. Bo Qing is from the Bo Family, whom I’ve always greatly respected. I never thought he would do something like this today."
He then glanced at Bo Nianyao, his eyes downcast with a sigh. "For this incident, I’ve failed you, Brother Nianyao."
Bo Nianyao immediately replied gravely, "With a child’s life at stake, we must remain cautious."
As Chu Changhe was about to speak, a figure stumbled into the guest room. It was none other than Mrs. Chu.
As soon as Mrs. Chu arrived, her voice was stern, "Changhe, where is Chu Yan?"
Chu Changhe comforted his wife, "Yan Yan is fine. I am currently negotiating with them."
Mrs. Chu glared at Bo Qing. "If anything happens to Chu Yan, I will fight you to the death."
Chu Changhe, standing by her side, looked like he wanted to speak but ultimately just sighed. He then addressed everyone present with a serious expression, "It’s not that I am unwilling to cooperate, but you must at least let me see Chu Yan first."
Bo Qing smiled faintly. "I am not one to break promises."
Chu Changhe had dealt with Bo Qing before. Now, his beloved daughter was in Bo Qing’s hands—and she was the apple of Chu Ci’s eye—leaving him with no room to negotiate. Furthermore, Gu Anxi had also spoken. So, he gave a bitter smile and said, "Mr. Bo Qing, it seems you want me to approve of your taking over the Bo Family. In that case, let me make it clear: I won’t go back on my word."
His words stunned everyone.
Bo Nianyao was finished.
The Bo Family was now in Bo Qing’s hands.
Considering everything that had happened, it seemed the entire Bo Family was destined to be driven out. How pitiful.
The collateral branches of the Bo Family were ashen-faced.
It was over. If Bo Nianyao was finished, they were even more doomed.
Among them, some spinelessly considered surrendering to Bo Qing, but then someone declared, "I’ll always stand by Brother Nianyao. If Nianyao eats steamed buns, I’ll drink congee."
With this declaration, others also stepped forward—
"Me too."
"Me too."
Gu Anxi was still munching on fruit. Looking at the Chu family’s rather miserable state, she chuckled. "Alright, declarations have been made. Second Grandpa, isn’t it time you returned Chu Yan to them?"
Bo Qing gazed at her quietly.
Gu Anxi continued to smile faintly. "You’re taking over the Bo Family; there’s no need to rush this, is there?"
Old Bo, at the side, surprisingly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Bo Qing! For such a momentous occasion, a sense of ceremony is crucial. If necessary, we should find someone to divine the most auspicious time."
Bo Qing rested his palm on the armrest, pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly. "Alright."
Chu Yan was brought over half an hour later. She looked like she had suffered, with a cloth gagging her mouth and several red marks on her face. The one personally escorting her was none other than Song Jia.
Chu Ci tried to step forward, but Gu Anxi gently pulled his arm. "Stay back."
Chu Ci’s lips moved, but he still retreated silently.
Bo Nianyao keenly observed this subtle movement. He instantly understood Gu Anxi’s standing within the Chu family. Just moments ago, Chu Changhe had only dared to speak after their little Anxi had prompted him. And now, Chu Ci was clearly acting entirely under their little Anxi’s direction. For a moment, Bo Nianyao’s confidence surged; he eagerly awaited the tables to turn.
Madam Bo, beside him, shot him a fierce glare. Bo Nianyao rubbed his nose and whispered, "There are many people here, dear. Please spare me some dignity. I can be as subservient as you wish later."
Madam Bo knew exactly what was going on and ignored him.
Over there, Gu Anxi had just taken a step forward when Song Jia pulled out a gun. "Don’t move."
Gu Anxi raised her hands. "I won’t move. Second Granny, Second Grandpa agreed to release her. Why are you still so aggressive?"
What Song Jia hated most was Gu Anxi calling Bo Qing ’Second Grandpa’ and her ’Second Granny.’ Gu Anxi clearly knew Bo Qing’s intentions, yet she deliberately trampled all over his feelings.
Song Jia glanced at Bo Qing.
Perhaps Bo Qing also wished for them to test each other, especially to showcase Song Jia’s capabilities, so he merely smiled.
Song Jia then cast aside all reservations. She released Chu Yan and prepared to engage Gu Anxi in combat.
Chu Ci took Chu Yan, confirmed she was unharmed, then stepped forward to shield Gu Anxi.
"Chu Ci, you’re no match for her." Gu Anxi gently pushed him aside and slowly walked out of the guest room, into a large open space outside.
Song Jia quickly followed.
Everyone else also went out to watch the spectacle—Little Gu, Beicheng’s most formidable fighter, versus Bo Qing’s top enforcer. It was said this woman was incredibly skilled, second only to Bo Qing himself.
Just as the two squared off, King Jingyao and Min Xin arrived.
Min Xin approached, his voice icy, "What is this? What’s going on? A private duel? Is there no law anymore?"
Gu Anxi gritted her fine, white teeth. "In the Bo Family, I am the law."
Song Jia scoffed, "Not for long."
Neither used guns; they fought bare-handed, an intense struggle.
The magnates were hooting and hollering, "So strong!"
King Jingyao also sat down, pulling Min Xin down with him. Sipping his tea, he chuckled, "See? That little rascal’s skills aren’t bad, eh?"
Min Xin had witnessed Gu Anxi’s ferocity before. He used to think she merely relied on various clever tricks. Only today, seeing her in action, did he realize she was not at all weaker than Song Jia. He was so shocked he was speechless...
On the field, Song Jia was also surprised. She had always looked down on Gu Anxi, believing her to be just a willful little girl. She had never expected Gu Anxi to be this strong. Song Jia narrowed her eyes. A long whip suddenly appeared in her hand. With a single flick, a dazzling silver light flashed.
Upon closer inspection, the body of the whip was entirely covered in fine silver needles. How vicious!
Gu Anxi leaped back several steps and chuckled lightly. "Hidden weapons? I have those too."
With a wave of her hand, four stunning young women instantly appeared by her side.
Little Gu crossed her arms. "I’m not fighting you. Let them play with you."
A smirk touched her lips. "Keep Miss Song thoroughly entertained."
Song Jia was dumbfounded.
Bo Qing was stunned.
Old Bo was dazzled. Where did so many beautiful girls come from?
Min Xin suddenly spoke: "Artificial intelligence. AI."
King Jingyao nearly leaped from his seat, itching to curse. First, that she could actually create such things! Second, who on earth allowed her to make them and then flaunt them so openly, causing such a stir! She clearly had no respect for him, her elder brother figure, or Min Xin. In this situation, at this event, it was obvious she expected them to clean up her mess, legally and legitimately!
On the field, Gu Anxi retreated, and the four beautiful young women attacked in unison. Even with a whip in hand, Song Jia was outmatched. Their fighting styles were all identical to Gu Anxi’s. How could she be a match for four such opponents?
Gu Anxi stood to the side, caught a fruit someone tossed her, and slowly nibbled on it. Then, she chuckled softly, "These are the AI born from the Phoenix System that you destroyed, Miss Song. How does it feel?"
Song Jia was in a sorry state, forced into a hasty retreat. In the end, Bo Qing had to intervene.
A flash of silver light appeared, repelling the four beautiful young women and allowing Song Jia to escape.
Gu Anxi pressed a button, retracting the AI. A cold sneer touched her lips. "See that, Miss Song? That’s the gap between you and Bo Qing. So, don’t come out and embarrass yourself in the future. You’re only capable of handling defenseless girls like Chu Yan. Stop pretending to be a master."
Song Jia was furious and about to retort when Bo Qing cut her off sharply, "Silence! You were indeed outmatched."
He then turned to Gu Anxi with a warm smile. "As expected of the one I taught. To create such advanced AI in such a short time."
The little rascal, still nibbling on fruit, said without a hint of shyness, "It wasn’t my achievement alone. It’s the fruit of love between me and my Youngest Uncle."
Bo Xichen covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
Bo Nianyao and Madam Bo were both dumbfounded.
Gu Anxi grinned at Papa Bo and Mama Bo. "Are you satisfied with those four granddaughters?"
Bo Nianyao also covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
Old Bo, however, looked quite pleased. "Can you conjure up some more?" So many beautiful little ladies, each like a celestial fairy.
Gu Anxi ignored the shameless old codger and continued to look at Bo Qing, speaking softly, "Master, even now, are you still unwilling to turn back?"
Veins subtly bulged on Bo Qing’s forehead. After a moment, he murmured, "Why would I give up something that is within my grasp?"
Ever since birth, he had been looked down upon. Although raised in the Bo Family, supposedly as an adopted son, the disdainful gazes of others, and his elder brother who always overshadowed him—how could anyone else understand such feelings?
He once thought Anxi would be like him—despised, abandoned. That’s why he had made her limitless, turned her into the strongest one. But now, this strongest one stood opposite him, opposing him.
Gu Anxi observed the change in his eyes and smiled. "So, you still insist on this path." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
She took a step back, her gaze lowered. "From this day forward, all debts and grudges between us are wiped clean."
Bo Qing looked at her intently. "But I will always consider you my disciple."
"Is that so?" Gu Anxi laughed nonchalantly, then turned her head to look at Old Bo. "Grandfather, what do you say? Do you still insist on supporting your second brother?"
Old Bo was actually in a very awkward position. He had wholeheartedly wanted Bo Qing to lead the Bo Family to greater heights. But now, witnessing setback after setback and formidable resistance, success seemed far from certain.
But if he were to switch allegiances now, firstly, that ruthless brat Bo Qing might not spare him. Secondly, he was already in too deep to back out gracefully; it would be a terrible loss of face.
Old Bo cleared his throat. "Bo Qing replacing Nianyao is already set in stone. I believe Nianyao is also willing to step down. After all, Bo Qing is younger."
Gu Anxi chuckled. "Is that so? May I ask which two Family Heads have agreed?"
Old Bo scoffed, "You child, what schemes are you plotting now? Xiao Jiang and Xiao Chu have clearly stated their positions."
Gu Anxi chuckled again. "Grandfather, you haven’t been in Beicheng for a long time, so perhaps you’re not too familiar with the current situation. As far as I know, Chu Changhe ceased to be the Chu Family Head long ago. What he said just now was utter nonsense, yet you all treated it like perfume."
Her words stunned everyone present.
How could that be?
How could this happen?
