Campus Ace Girl

When it was time for discharge, someone from Jiangcheng came.

Surprisingly, it was actually Wang Kegui.

Gu Anxi was puzzled, "Second Uncle, why did you come?"

Wang Kegui also looked slightly uneasy, coughed lightly before pointing at the things he was holding, "Heard you were feeling unwell, the old lady at home was very worried and asked me to bring some things over and to check on you."

He asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"

Gu Anxi nodded, "Almost recovered, now ready to return to Si Garden."

Since they had come, they naturally went to Si Garden together. Madam Bo was very considerate, had the things carried, and invited Wang Kegui to ride in the same car with them back to Si Garden.

The Wang Family was considered very wealthy, with money to spend endlessly, yet when Wang Kegui sat in that car, his heart was uneasy because the car was extravagantly luxurious. Every inch was genuine leather, below was a pure white wool carpet, and the ornaments in the car were all designer pieces.

Wang Kegui prided himself on his culture and taste, but now he just wanted to cover his face, never before had he felt the Wang Family was so shabby. This feeling intensified at Si Garden. Fortunately, he was also from a wealthy family, and after a while he gathered himself...

By the time he regained his composure, he was already seated in the hall at Si Garden, sipping a cup of tea, with Old Master Bo accompanying him, while Anxi was resting with Madam Bo.

Old Master Bo was quite bored at home. Anxi, the little brat, was hospitalized a few days ago, and he was eager to accompany her, but the old folks at home insisted it was inconvenient—

He felt unconvinced, what was inconvenient about it, wasn’t Anxi the little brat his own granddaughter? Wasn’t she the little precious of the Bo Family?... Nian Yao sometimes took care of her, was he more convenient?

Naturally, Old Master Bo wouldn’t say such things to others, he just kept to himself, making five or six phone calls every day, traveling to the hospital for three meals a day, staying there for two hours before returning. Aside from sleeping and car travel, he was almost continuously at the hospital accompanying the little brat... This patriarchal role, Old Master Bo thoroughly enjoyed.

During this time, Anxi’s maternal relatives were visiting, and fiercesome Lin Yun just happened not to be around. Old Master Bo naturally adopted an attitude of being closest and most congenial with Anxi, chatting warmly with them, and during this conversation discovered that this Wang Family’s second uncle was indeed cultured. Though there was still a gap compared to Nian Yao, he was certainly quite profound, and encountering a kindred spirit, Old Master Bo naturally wanted to showcase himself.

So he stood up, tidied his clothes, and invited Wang Kegui to his collection room to admire his collection.

Wang Kegui and Old Master Bo got on quite well, considering this gentleman truly possessed noble character and amiability, unaware that he had been influenced by Gu Anxi, as he was not like this before, at this moment he was very willing to make the acquaintance of Old Master Bo, naturally accepting the invitation eagerly.

The two of them, one behind the other, went to Old Master Bo’s place for a tour. Even though Old Master Bo had spent considerably during the New Year, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and the remaining collection still greatly impressed and left Wang Kegui full of praise.

Old Master Bo was usually very frugal, generous only to the little brat Anxi, but this time he was uncharacteristically extravagant, handing two exquisite items over to Wang Kegui...

Wang Kegui was shocked, absolutely unwilling to accept, Old Master Bo generously handed over two more items to him, inwardly bleeding while appearing very generous, "It’s rare for you to visit Beicheng, and since we’re kindred spirits, just a small token."

While speaking, it wasn’t enough, he took him to the Orchid Room, Gu Anxi’s collection room. Old Master Bo had managed to obtain the password last time after much effort, opened the door, feeling a sourness in his heart.

This place was far more imposing compared to his own, Anxi was just in her early twenties and already wealthy beyond belief.

And Wang Kegui watched a nearly 200 square meter underground collection room, each valuable item placed on dark wooden shelves, utterly amazed.

Many were unique treasures, shining incredibly under the dim light.

"This is really too..." Wang Kegui went forward, reaching out to touch a half-person-high floral urn, reluctant to let go, "I’ve only seen this in auction catalogues but remember it wasn’t auctioned later."

Old Master Bo rubbed his beard, somewhat bitterly saying, "Anxi directly purchased it backstage from the buyer, for 120 million... Oh, forgot to mention she was only 16 years old then."

He mumbled inwardly: At that young age, wonder how much immoral money she made with Old Man He the unyielding, to afford such items. But most of that old man’s estate seemingly went to their little brat, which was fair.

Wang Kegui marveled, "Anxi had such sharp vision then."

Mentioning this brought Old Master Bo to a near rage, "She said she bought it to put in the living room for arranging flowers."

Wang Kegui was surprised, then laughed, "That certainly suits her nature, she must have bought it simply because it’s pretty, not for any collectible value!"

Old Master Bo rubbed his nose and acknowledged, "That’s exactly her thinking, just found it beautiful. But this child has truly impeccable taste, everything she purchased appreciated, not one item is inferior."

Wang Kegui continued to touch the various treasures, quietly contemplating that even just with these items, they could more than afford to buy the whole Wang Family.

Old Master Bo observed Wang Kegui’s expression, deeply satisfied, and amiably led him back to the hall.

They sat down, Old Master Bo warmly suggested, "Have some tea! Time flies, soon the little brat will probably wake up for dinner."

Observing how Anxi was highly valued by the Bo Family, Wang Kegui felt very pleased at that moment, sipped some tea before he was about to speak when the house servant approached, "Lin from An Pu is here, requests to see the young madam."

Old Master Bo perked up, "Is Lin Shuang here?"

After speaking, he mentioned to Wang Kegui, "She’s quite pretty, visited the house before, Anxi seems to like her, I’ve always wanted to match them, Xichen’s mother also has that intention, she must be here for business now."

Poor Wang Kegui was already surprised hearing Lin Shuang’s name earlier, and now hearing that the Bo Family intended to match Lin Shuang made him even more restless. Old Master Bo saw his odd expression, recalled some matters with a smile, "If you fancy someone, hold on tight. A woman’s heart is soft, persist long enough and eventually it will yield."

Old Master Bo wasn’t particularly enthused about romantic affairs, likely due to being hurt by his philandering old father, having gained a brother Bo Qing so late in life, no one would be glad. After becoming a widower, he never remarried, rarely finding someone he fancied. But that doesn’t mean he lacked understanding of women, at this moment he earnestly advised Wang Kegui, "She’s been alone for all these years, surely can’t forget someone. If you don’t act, you’ll truly let her down for life."

Wang Kegui’s heart stirred, just as he was about to speak, Lin Shuang had arrived.

Upon meeting, they were naturally shocked and surprised, yet subtly affected.

Old Master Bo saw but didn’t comment, smiling as he spoke, "We’ve sent for Anxi, now, let’s wait in the study. She’s currently living in her Bo mother’s courtyard, Nian Yao’s study has been taken over by her."

Then, somewhat bitterly, he added, "That study, even Xichen has to behave properly, hardly ever sat, and now Anxi works there directly."
