Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 784 - 785: Causing Trouble! Isn’t it you who spoiled them!?
Gu Anxi’s gaze fell on Bo Nianyao’s face as she quietly said, "A stroke and dementia. He’ll need constant care from now on..."
Bo Nianyao was greatly shocked.
How could this be?
His and Bo Xichen’s eyes were fixed on her. Gu Anxi simply smiled. "Uncle, you should go take a look too."
At this moment, Old He’s wife ran over and frantically pulled open the door to the traditional room.
Old He was sitting there, seemingly fine, but his expression was vacant. He... he was not the same person anymore.
She shook her head, "Old He!"
The subsequent scene was rather unpleasant. King Jingyao shot Bo Nianyao a look. "Go take a look."
Bo Nianyao and Bo Xichen went in together. After a moment, they came out, and Bo Nianyao quietly mentioned, "Old He has indeed had a stroke. He probably won’t be able to speak in the future."
Upon hearing this, King Jingyao looked towards Gu Anxi.
Was it your doing? She was incredibly bold. Old He had committed these acts, and she silently took care of the problem. Now that he has dementia, what can I do? Can you hold an idiot accountable?
King Jingyao glared at her fiercely, then turned to Chen Ming beside him, "Secure him."
Chen Ming, thoroughly puzzled, asked, "And that’s it?"
King Jingyao’s voice rose. "He’s already like this, what else can be done?"
Should they take him back to care for him in his old age, feed him, and bathe him?
Seeing Jingyao get angry, Chen Ming quickly dismissed his men but lingered behind, awaiting further instructions.
King Jingyao lit a cigarette, glaring sidelong at that little brat, Gu Anxi, swearing to himself that he would flay her hide when he had the chance.
Gu Anxi pretended not to see.
At this time, Song Jia, the Beauty, gently walked in—
It was said that the man was her master, one whose true face she had never seen. Even though he was now senile and muddled, she still wanted to see him. Seeing her go in, Gu Anxi suggested to Zhou Yunchen at her side, "You should go take a look too."
She wouldn’t reveal Zhou Yunchen and Song Jia’s true origins. It was better left unknown, as that knowledge would likely deeply wound Zhou Yunchen. As Old He’s children, they were destined to be the sacrificed ones.
Zhou Yunchen turned his head, looking deeply at her but asking nothing. He accompanied Song Jia inside. When they came out, Song Jia seemed a bit dazed, but Zhou Yunchen, passing Gu Anxi, simply said in a cool voice, "I owe you a great debt."
Gu Anxi lightly shook her head and called him by a name she hadn’t used in a long time, "Brother Yun Chen, you’re not alone anymore."
Zhou Yunchen gave a bitter smile. Then, with a gentleness unusual for him, he gently pulled Song Jia into his arms and comforted her.
Within this short period, the more astute individuals had already figured out what was going on, particularly King Jingyao. He looked thoughtfully at Gu Anxi, then at Zhou Yunchen.
In the end, his gaze fell on Bo Xichen’s face, as if he had made a decision.
The little minx felt a headache coming on and rubbed her forehead. "I’m tired, Uncle. Can we go home now?"
Before Bo Xichen could speak, King Jingyao sneered, "You’ve stirred up such a huge mess, and now you just want to leave?"
The little minx looked at him, stating plainly, "What mess did I create? We merely ran into each other. I won’t admit to any baseless accusations."
King Jingyao was so furious his fingers trembled. Finally, he snapped at Bo Xichen, "Get this infuriating troublemaker out of here!"
Consumed by anger, he finally kicked her in the calf. "Get out! Get out of here now!"
She had turned his wanted criminal into a muddled fool, and she still had the audacity to play dumb!
Having received such a blow, the little minx knew she had genuinely angered him. Usually, in front of others, he would save her some face. Any reprimands, physical or verbal, would usually happen in private. But now he had struck her in public, and with Father Bo and her Uncle Bo Xichen both present.
As expected, Bo Nianyao was the first to show concern. "Did it hurt, sweetie? I think it’s best not to leave the house in the middle of the night. Even if the sky falls, don’t step outside. Stay home, and you won’t get kicked."
King Jingyao was so infuriated his nose practically went crooked. This was a clear jab at him.
Bo Xichen, however, didn’t try to shield her. He was, of course, aware of what she had accomplished in just that short hour—something she had been doing all along, managed so discreetly that even he hadn’t known.
Now, he couldn’t publicly defend her. She was indeed in the wrong, so taking a hit wasn’t unjust. But he still felt for her, so he leaned over and said softly, "You’ve angered Mr. Wang this much. Shouldn’t you apologize?"
Gu Anxi lifted her eyes, looking at him.
In his eyes, she saw gentle understanding. Therefore, she turned to King Jingyao. "I’m sorry, Mr. Wang."
King Jingyao was taken aback. Mr. Wang?
Before Gu Anxi could say anything more offensive, Bo Xichen interjected, "Originally, the old master and mistress meeting Anxi was also an accident. Now that Mr. Wang dislikes Anxi, let Anxi’s relationship with the Wang Family end here. It will save everyone the daily displeasure. If Anxi has done anything wrong, I apologize to Mr. Wang on her behalf. She’s still young; please be magnanimous, Mr. Wang."
King Jingyao’s eyebrow twitched. He felt utterly exasperated.
He narrowed his eyes. Compared to Bo Nianyao’s overt protectiveness, Xichen was more like an assassin with a soft blade, one that forced him to lick blood from its edge. Bo Xichen kept apologizing with a deceptively soft tone, yet every word implied they should sever ties and become strangers!
King Jingyao was hot-tempered too. What truly infuriated him was that she clearly knew Zhou Yunchen’s connection to that old man inside... yet she still protected Zhou Yunchen, a man King Jingyao himself had his sights on!
Now that Zhou Yunchen’s identity was exposed, how could she still...?
The Bo father and son’s blatant protectiveness truly aggravated him.
Every single one of them infuriated him!
King Jingyao, being a prideful man, looked as if he were about to sever all ties. His voice was cold as he said, "How dare I accept such an apology? And I hardly dare accept her calling me ’Old Brother’."
Heh, from now on, I’ll just act as if I never had this ’sister’!
With his words, the Bo Family swiftly escorted Gu Anxi away, clean and quick.
Once the Bo Family had departed, everyone else was left dumbfounded.
How were they supposed to handle this mess?
Wang Jingchuan was especially anxious. In a moment of anger, Mr. Wang had offended the little troublemaker in front of so many witnesses. He had even physically hurt her! She certainly wouldn’t let this go. Now that ties were severed, how could they possibly mend them in the future?
How could Mr. Wang swallow his pride? 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Sigh, the malicious gossip in Beicheng alone is enough to drown a person!
King Jingyao glanced at Chen Ming and Wang Jingchuan, then at the Zhou siblings and his trusted aides. Each of their faces revealed a myriad of unspeakable emotions. He couldn’t help but get angry. "What kind of expressions are those? So what if ties are severed? You think I care?"
"Care about what?" a voice rang out, and then a figure stepped out of the black car.
"What happened?" A newcomer with a lively expression mockingly patted King Jingyao’s shoulder. "You look so angry. Anyone who didn’t know better might think your wife ran off."
King Jingyao turned around and looked at Min Xin. "You’re not sleeping on the couch anymore?"
Min Xin touched his nose and cleared his throat. "I’m bound to get off probation eventually. By the way, I saw Xichen’s car drive away just now. Where’s Anxi? She didn’t stay?"
He observed the look on King Jingyao’s face and then laughed. "A conflict? With Anxi? Sigh, why didn’t you just give in to her? She’s just a bit playful and lawless, but aren’t you the one who spoiled her that way?"
