"We don’t need a private jet. Just book business class. It’s enough for Mom to have her mont of glory once." Wang Keru didn’t want to trouble the Bo Family. After all, that wouldn’t be right.
Gu Anxi knew what she was thinking. She stopped the car at a red light, smiled, and said, "Mom, I just bought a private plane. Want to try it out?"
Wang Keru’s eyes widened. It took her a mont before she said softly, "I’d love to. It’s definitely sothing I must try."
Gu Anxi smiled. "Then I’ll indulge you, Ms. Wang."
Sitting in Gu Anxi’s car, Wang Keru was truly basking in the glory, feeling utterly content!
Gu Anxi took her back to Si Garden. Since Wang Keru was leaving the next day, Mother Bo had prepared a feast for everyone to gather. Only Bo Xichen hadn’t returned yet due to his busy schedule.
They were almost finished eating when he rushed back and had a quick bite.
Naturally, Gu Anxi spent a lot of ti with Wang Keru. Lady Bo had thoughtfully prepared gifts, so for Wang Keru and so for Grandma Chen, covering all aspects.
Lady Bo was beaming. "I heard Anxi bought a private plane. Ke Ru, you’re so fortunate!"
Wang Keru whispered, "Please, don’t tease . I feel like such a freeloader."
Lady Bo disagreed. "What’s wrong with being a freeloader? Freeloaders are blessed! Look how well we’re living."
While Gu Anxi was away, she took the opportunity to whisper to Wang Keru, "That Tang Yuan, Anxi’s birth mother—you see how glamorous she appears, but Gu Ning actually has her under his thumb. She can’t make any big waves herself, so she pins her hopes on Gu Mingzhu to achieve sothing, but Mingzhu is still far inferior to our Anxi."
Hehe, the Bo Family really lucked out with this treasure!
Wang Keru sighed softly. "That mother is truly awful. I can see in her eyes that she has no feelings for Anxi. In the past, although I also valued money... at least I still cared about Anxi, even if I was useless myself."
Lady Bo patted her hand. "Let’s not dwell on the past. The child’s heart is with you, and that’s better than anything! Look, you get to ride private jets, buy jewelry whenever you like. Winning or losing millions is like a small ga of cards to them. Ke Ru, how many people in this world can compare to your life now?"
Wang Keru chuckled. If only Yun Tian would wake up soon, she thought, then he could see Anxi looking so spirited and successful.
「The next day」
Bo Xichen personally drove Wang Keru to the airport. Gu Anxi sat in the back seat with her mother, giving her so instructions. Wang Keru nodded at each one.
Listening from the front, Bo Xichen smiled to himself. Anxi and her mom have completely swapped roles now! Thankfully, she’s still his sweet, clingy kitten in front of him.
The car stopped at the airport. Bo Xichen handled all the procedures. When it was ti to depart, Wang Keru was sowhat reluctant to leave...
But when she saw eight flight attendants standing in two rows, announcing, "Welco, Madam Gu, aboard the Ke Ru private jet!" all of Wang Keru’s reluctance vanished. She coolly adjusted her sunglasses and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
In the distance, Gu Anxi leaned on Bo Xichen’s shoulder, tilting her head. "Mom must be ecstatic."
Bo Xichen pinched her cheek. "You really get her."
"Ever since I was little, I’ve heard her say things like, ’When you marry, marry the best man; when you sleep with soone, sleep with...’" Gu Anxi’s face suddenly turned red, and she couldn’t continue.
Bo Xichen put his arm around her as they walked towards the exit. "Why did you stop?"
"I don’t want to talk about it anymore." Gu Anxi made a playful face.
He chuckled softly.
Later, in the car, Gu Anxi buckled her seatbelt. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Gu Anxi, am I not the most capable man?"
She bit her lip, then lowered her head to sip her Yakult. She’d beco quite fond of this drink recently.
As Bo Xichen started the car, she said softly, "Bo Xichen, you promised you’d be careful."
He glanced at her, then focused on driving.
After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice slow and deliberate. "Gu Anxi, I’m a doctor. There have been many tis when I’ve actually felt for you... I haven’t had the heart to be too hard on you."
Gu Anxi leaned back in her seat, carefully mulling over his words. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
Little Uncle is going to... teach a lesson!
That night, she fled to Aunt Bo Jin’s house and stayed overnight.
Surprisingly, Bo Xichen wasn’t angry. He acted as usual the next day and was still willing to take her to school.
When Gu Anxi arrived at school, Wang Qin was waiting for her at the gate. She told Gu Anxi that Gu Mingzhu had posted a photo, solidifying her position as the ’School Beauty,’ and added that Fang Ming probably had no chance with Gu Anxi now.
"How boring." Gu Anxi smiled. "Fang Ming won’t care. The only one who cares is Gu Mingzhu. Let her do whatever she wants."
Wang Qin looked at Gu Anxi for a long mont before saying, "Anxi, you’re so composed! She’s clearly competing with you!"
Gu Anxi, tall and lanky, draped an arm around little Wang Qin and cleared her throat. "Because I’ve already received the ultimate reward!"
Wang Qin exclaid in surprise, "Ultimate reward?"
Gu Anxi said coolly, without missing a beat, "My Little Uncle, the most capable man there is!"
Wang Qin’s face turned red again. She stamred, "W-well, I wouldn’t know about that... Only you would know, Anxi!"
Gu Anxi actually nodded in agreent.
Wang Qin cried, "Anxi, you’re hopeless! You’re becoming so bold!"
A mont later, blushing again, she asked, "Professor Bo is really good-looking, isn’t he? Anxi, are you totally smitten?"
Gu Anxi considered it. "A little, I guess!"
Wang Qin’s jaw dropped.
Gu Anxi didn’t care, but Gu Mingzhu cared imnsely. She was already savoring the taste of victory, just waiting for the dual-person magazine feature to co out. Then, she would thoroughly crush Gu Anxi and show everyone what a true socialite was!
Fortunately, it was due to be published soon. Because ti was tight, Tang Yuan had used her connections to bump a second-tier celebrity to secure this dual-person feature.
This was Gu Mingzhu’s plan: the dual-person issue would be released just before the ’School Beauty’ and ’School Beau’ results were announced. That way, Gu Anxi would not only fail to win ’School Beauty,’ she wouldn’t win ’School Beau’ either! A girl from Qingcheng wouldn’t have any real presence on a magazine cover; Gu Mingzhu was confident of this.
Moreover, since releasing her own personal photos, her popularity had been re-established.
Beicheng University was still her territory. Gu Anxi shouldn’t think that knowing a few talents would allow her to surpass her. Gu Mingzhu, however, still hadn’t told anyone that Gu Anxi was the popular online figure ’Rabbit’. She planned to wait until she had completely overshadowed Gu Anxi in appearance. Then, even if people found out Gu Anxi’s identity, they’d think it was nothing special.
That night, Jia Ren magazine released promotional material for the next day’s issue online—
Gu Mingzhu Solo Shot: [She is the Luminous Pearl Scripting Youth’s Tale]
Gu Anxi Solo Shot: [She is the Rare Treasure, A Healing Warmth]
Dual Shot: [When the Pain of Youth Collides with Healing]
As soon as those three photos were released, they blew up the internet!
They’re stunning!
The young woman in the black shirt is incredible! Shoulder-length dark hair, eyes like midnight, and subtly upturned red lips—
Her expression was understated, but the aura she unintentionally exuded was enough to overwhelm everything.
Including the exquisitely beautiful Gu Mingzhu!
