Campus Ace Girl

As the words fell, Gu Anxi walked into the hall.

Everyone was stunned. Bo Xichen instinctively walked over, put an arm around her shoulder, and said, "It’s a bit chilly outside, what are you doing out here?"

Gu Anxi gave a faint smile. "I’m fine, I’m not made of paper."

After giving birth, she actually felt her body had gotten much better.

Bo Xichen said nothing more and helped her sit down.

Only then did Wang Kefu suddenly realize he’d been royally played—

This little brat Anxi was really too bad. Back then when she handed the shares to him, she’d made it sound so grand, saying it was to guard against Gu Xiufen. Turns out she’d buried such a huge scheme on top of that. He’d almost been so grateful he wanted to put her on an altar as a living Bodhisattva to worship. Who knew this little brat calculated every step, not even sparing her own kin.

Wang Kefu wanted to jump up and down, wanted to tear all pretense to shreds, but he found he had absolutely no confidence to back it up.

His lips moved a few times, then he backed down again.

Old Wang looked at his second son disobedient, his eldest son useless, so angry that a mouthful of old blood nearly sprayed out. In his fury, his blood pressure shot up, he toppled straight over, and of course was sent to the hospital.

Fortunately they were in time, and with Bo Xichen on the scene, it wasn’t a big problem. But the old man had just taken such a huge shock, of course he couldn’t handle it. His body suddenly went downhill and he had to stay in the hospital for a few days.

In the hospital corridor, Wang Kefu was practically about to kneel to his second brother, pleading bitterly, "Brother, you’ve seen Dad’s condition yourself. Now, now as long as you just say one word, Dad will practically come back from the dead."

Gu Anxi was there too. She rolled her eyes. "The old man isn’t dead yet."

Wang Kefu pointed at her, pointed for a long time without getting a single word out, his fat face flushing the color of pig liver from rage.

Wang Kegui shielded Gu Anxi. "Big brother, whatever you’ve got, take it out on me. Don’t talk to Anxi like that, she just had a baby."

If he hadn’t shielded her it would’ve been fine, but the moment he did, Wang Kefu started wailing to the heavens. "She didn’t ’have a baby,’ she just grew two extra hearts and minds! Kegui, she’s incredible, she could sell off everything in our family and we wouldn’t even know. Right now you’re bewitched into believing her, but by the time you realize you’ve been duped, it’ll be too late to cry."

At this point, Gu Anxi slanted a glance at Wang Kefu and said lightly, "Going back isn’t impossible either. Uncle, would you be willing to give half your shares to Second Uncle?"

Those words completely stumped Wang Kefu.

He hemmed and hawed, he stammered and stuttered, he hesitated again and again, and even after a long while he still refused to answer, didn’t dare answer.

Gu Anxi just smiled. "See? Uncle, you’re not willing to hand over what’s already in your pocket either. So let’s talk reality. Right now Wang Corporation is basically all in your hands. You don’t take on that responsibility and you still go looking to shove it on someone else? Aren’t you embarrassed to say that out loud?"

All of a sudden, Wang Kegui turned to look at Gu Anxi, shock and surprise in his eyes.

Back when all the shares were given to the eldest, he’d been puzzled but truly hadn’t thought it through. He just figured Anxi really wanted to guard against Xiufen. After all, Xiufen had done something very terrible at the time. But now, hearing the eldest say these things, he finally realized that Anxi’s thinking ran much deeper than they’d imagined. Every step she took planned three moves ahead, each step planting foreshadowing for what came after... Honestly, he felt a bit scared.

He’d been "President Wang" in Wang Corporation for so many years, but in the end, compared to the scheming of a young girl, he was actually simple to the point of stupidity.

The suspicion in his eyes naturally didn’t escape Gu Anxi. She cleared her throat lightly. "Second Uncle can choose not to trust me, can doubt me. But is Second Uncle also going to doubt Lin Shuang? Do you think this is another conspiracy cooked up by me and Lin Shuang? If you do, you’re welcome to go back to Jiangcheng, to go on living exactly like before, and then find yourself a second Gu Xiufen."

As she spoke, she seemed to get angry, turned on her heel, and walked off.

Honestly, who doesn’t have a temper.

Just then, Wang Keru showed up at the perfect time.

Lately, Gu Yuntian’s leg hadn’t been great, mainly because of the changing weather, so every day Anxi could only go over for two hours to take care of him and keep him company to relieve his boredom. Most of the time she had to look after her husband. Fortunately, Madam Bo was particularly understanding.

But this morning, just as she was on her way over, she heard her elderly father had come to Beicheng and had been so angered he ended up in the hospital. When she rushed over, she just happened to hear this whole conversation.

Wang Keru was a woman, and she’d also grown up together with the two brothers of the Wang Family. She could say she had their two temperaments figured out inside and out.

She walked over, stopped Gu Anxi, and scolded her with a smile. "That rotten temper is just like your old man’s."

Gu Anxi pretended to be angry. "Second Uncle doesn’t trust me. I’m racking my brains for his sake and he still suspects me. Fine if he doubts me, but he even drags Lin Shuang in too. How is that not chilling? I told him he might as well just go back."

Wang Keru knew her somewhat, so she chimed in and gently said to Wang Kegui, "I also know what happened back then. Lin Shuang... had it pretty rough in the past too. If Second Brother isn’t firm, you might as well give up now, so you don’t suffer even more later."

Wang Kegui was at a total loss for words.

Now he truly felt how formidable Gu Anxi was. She had such a tight grip on his heart that she wouldn’t allow him the slightest bit of hesitation.

He couldn’t bring himself to say anything. Seeing his expression, Wang Keru had no intention of letting him off and pressed on, "Second Brother, I advise you to give up. Back then, for the sake of family harmony, you gave up Lin Shuang. Now that you’re this age, there’s even less need to stir up unhappiness at home and drag Anxi’s reputation down with it."
