Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 781 - 782: I’m Sorry, Uncle, I’m Holding You Back

As she thought about it, she slowly started to speak, "The investigation team is taking this matter very seriously."

"Really?" Shen’s mother quickly rubbed her hands together, her eyes sparkling.

Gu Anxi hummed affirmatively. "There’s no imminent danger for now. You should eat first. Later, I’ll take you to my parents’ place to stay, and if you’re willing, you could work there in the future."

Shen’s mother’s eyes grew hot; she lowered her head and said in a hushed tone, "I don’t have the face to go. After Mr. Gu’s incident, I didn’t take good care of you, and Wanqing... All I want now is for Wanqing to be okay. As soon as that’s confirmed, I will immediately return to Qingcheng."

Seeing her pitiful state, Gu Anxi said gently, "Well, you’ll have to wait for news anyway. For now, just stay at my parents’ place. The Si Garden... it wouldn’t be convenient for you; you don’t know anyone there."

Shen’s mother mumbled an agreement and then began to eat. She ate quickly, not because she was hungry, but because she was afraid of taking up Gu Anxi’s time.

Watching her, Gu Anxi genuinely felt sorry for her. Actually, Shen Wanqing and Mingzhu are somewhat alike, but Mingzhu’s fate is so much better than Shen Wanqing’s...

After Shen’s mother had eaten, Bo Xichen drove them to the Gu family’s villa. Shen’s mother sat nervously in such a fine car, her hands clenching tightly together. When they arrived at the Gu family’s home and met Gu Yuntian and his wife, it was naturally another round of reminiscing. Of course, Gu Yuntian did most of the talking. Wang Keru, in her heart, held a deep grudge. However, to give Gu Yuntian the impression of being a virtuous wife, she masked her resentment with a forced smile and feigned politeness.

When no one was paying attention, she pulled Gu Anxi aside and scolded her, "Why did you bring your enemies home? Your dad was asleep for two years, so he has no idea what trouble this mother and daughter have been stirring up. How could you forget too?"

After saying this, she turned to look at Bo Xichen. "Xichen, you didn’t stop her either? She just has to play the Good Samaritan. I heard she’s even meddling in someone else’s affairs now!" She was referring to the matter involving Gu Mingzhu.

Bo Xichen smiled, defending Little Milk Spirit. "It was nothing serious."

Wang Keru grabbed Gu Anxi by the ear again. "You never listen to me! You’re always letting your kindness get you into trouble. See? Trouble always finds you. If you keep meddling in other people’s business like this, when will you ever find time to have children?"

Gu Anxi grimaced. "Mom, I’m only 21."

"You’re only 21, but Xichen is turning 30 next year. Even if you conceive now, he’ll be 30 when he becomes a father," Wang Keru said, extremely worried for her son-in-law.

Gu Anxi looked at Uncle Bo and whispered, "Uncle Bo, you’re slowing us down."

Uncle Bo glanced at her, and she immediately cowered. "I’m the one slowing us down."

After a bit more flattery, Wang Keru finally let her go. She sighed, "I’m just worried about you. However, I can also see she’s not doing well. Shen Wanqing, too; she clearly has the ability, but she just doesn’t treat her own mother a little better. As the old saying goes, ’A child never finds their mother ugly.’"

Little Milk Spirit agreed wholeheartedly. "Yes! I don’t find Mom ugly."

Wang Keru tugged at her ear again. "Am I ugly?"

"’The most beautiful woman in the world! I was wrong,’ Gu Anxi muttered quietly. Only then did Wang Keru let her go. Taking a step back, Wang Keru said, ’I know what you’re thinking. Alright, I’ll talk to her later. If she’s willing, she can stay. We can arrange a small courtyard for her. From what I can see, that daughter of hers is very unreliable.’"

Gu Anxi acted coquettishly. "Mom is the best."

Wang Keru coughed lightly before saying, "Just make sure you remember *I’m* your mom." Her tone was somewhat sour.
