Robert was the focus of the evening, and Bo Jin was deliberately kept at his side, as if she were a co-hostess.
Tang Yuan walked in with Gu Mingzhu. Noticing Bo Jin’s prominent position, a sour taste ford in Tang Yuan’s mouth.However, she was also keenly aware that a daughter from the Bo Family could never marry a foreigner, a thought that offered her so comfort.
As guests, they were introduced to Robert. Gu Mingzhu captured his attention by seamlessly switching between fluent English and French. Robert glanced over at Tang Yuan as well.
Director Nie approached the Disney director, suggesting Gu Mingzhu for a voice-over role. Robert looked at the director before stating, "The author of this comic will be doing the voice-over personally."
A comic?
Tang Yuan and Gu Mingzhu were stunned. It was adapted from a comic!
Just then, Gu Anxi approached with a wine glass to speak with Bo Jin, and Gu Mingzhu spotted her.
What was Gu Anxi doing here?
Gu Mingzhu’s lips curled slightly. Gu Anxi must also be here trying to get a piece of the Disney pie!However, she’s probably not as quick as I am!
At that mont, Robert gently pulled Gu Anxi over. His deanor was entirely like that of an elder towards a junior—not strictly business. After all, he was pursuing her aunt, so his attitude was naturally much warr.
Robert introduced Gu Anxi to the global director of *Big Grey Wolf*: "This is AN. She has decided to voice the character herself."
The bearded director, initially skeptical, was now completely astonished. After they exchanged a few words... He made his decision! This was the Miss Rabbit he had envisioned!
He glanced at Bo Xichen—tall, imposing, and handso. The way Bo Xichen looked at "Miss Rabbit" was incredibly captivating, showing a deep connection. The shrewd, bearded director approached him for a chat. Upon hearing Bo Xichen’s flawless English, the director imdiately declared—
"Chu Ci will do the Chinese voice-over, but for the UK, France, Italy, and other countries, I want this Da Hui!"
The director decided then and there, "I want these two to voice the original language version of *Big Grey Wolf*."
Tang Yuan and Gu Mingzhu were dumbfounded.
What? The original global version of *Big Grey Wolf*? Could it be that this production was based on Gu Anxi’s comic, *18 Ways for the Big Grey Wolf to Eat Little White Rabbit*?
Gu Mingzhu couldn’t believe it. She refused to accept that Gu Anxi had secured such a pri opportunity!She couldn’t believe this banquet was being held for Gu Anxi!
But she had no choice but to believe it when, at precisely eight o’clock, Robert’s Twitter and Disney’s official Weibo account simultaneously announced their partnership on *Big Grey Wolf*. They also revealed that a spin-off movie version of *Big Grey Wolf* would be released during Chinese New Year the following year...
Amidst a round of applause, Gu Anxi and Robert held a small signing ceremony for an agreent, after which they each took a sip of red wine.
Clearly, Robert’s fondness for Bo Jin extended to her niece; he personally introduced Gu Anxi to the Disney executives present.
Gu Anxi, with her refined temperant and graceful composure, handled the introductions with ease. The executives showed only admiration, without any ulterior motives. Of course, everyone present knew that AN was already spoken for.
Who would dare to make a move on soone connected to the Bo Family?
Gu Mingzhu watched as Gu Anxi effortlessly chard everyone. She bit her lip, unwilling to believe she had lost so decisively at the very start.
One was a dostic film; the other, a major international production. The difference in status was imdiately apparent.
Tang Yuan, having weathered her share of storms, whispered, "The movie isn’t even out yet. What’s the rush? If *Big Grey Wolf* doesn’t resonate with audiences, it could easily flop. Your film, on the other hand, is practically guaranteed to earn over a billion."
Suppressing her bitter feelings, Gu Mingzhu nodded.
They had no desire to stay any longer and left the party early with Tang Yuan.
This deepened Tang Yuan’s grudge against Bo Jin. She gave all those resources to Gu Anxi, clearly showing no regard for my feelings or Mingzhu’s!
Incensed, Tang Yuan sent a ssage to Bo Jin from the car: "[Who would have thought you’d play favorites so blatantly!]"
Bo Jin was baffled when she received the ssage and simply replied with a few words: "[There’s a difference between the familiar and the estranged.]"
Tang Yuan was furious and tossed her phone aside.
Gu Mingzhu voiced her thoughts softly, "Mom, Robert seems to be deeply fond of Aunt Bo Jin. You know... perhaps it’s not advisable to fall out with her?"
At this mont, Gu Mingzhu showed more consideration for the bigger picture than Tang Yuan.
Tang Yuan shook her head slightly. "You don’t understand. The Bo Family would never allow her to marry abroad."
Gu Mingzhu fell silent. It would be better if their romance didn’t work out; otherwise, Gu Anxi would constantly overshadow .
She never considered that Gu Anxi had no intention of seriously pursuing a career in the entertainnt or film industry. Gu Anxi was simply having fun, completely unconcerned about the future...
When the party ended, the three mbers of the Bo Family—Gu Anxi, Bo Xichen, and Bo Jin—got into their car to return to Si Garden. Robert personally escorted them downstairs, clearly reluctant to see them go.
His next scheduled stop was Japan, but the beautiful Ms. Bo Jin had captivated him. The CEO decided to postpone his work commitnts to pursue her.
Ah, the French and their romantic ways!
In the car, Gu Anxi snuck a glance at her uncle, then at Bo Jin, and said cautiously, "Actually, Robert isn’t bad, you know."
Bo Xichen rely smiled.
Bo Jin pulled Gu Anxi aside to reprimand her, warning her not to gossip about it to Bo Jin’s parents when they got ho. Gu Anxi agreed ekly—she had also made a promise to Bo Xichen...
But Gu Anxi could see that Aunt Bo Jin seed to have so genuine feelings for Robert. So, when she got ho, she didn’t tell Father Bo but instead shared the news with Madam Bo.
Madam Bo was very fond of her sister-in-law, Bo Jin, and had always sympathized with her for remaining single all these years. Hearing this news from her little darling, Gu Anxi, she was quite stirred.
His status and background were excellent, but he was a foreigner.And the Bo Family rules...
Madam Bo quietly told Gu Anxi, "Don’t tell your Father Bo about this yet. Let think of a way."
Gu Anxi nodded obediently and returned to the Orchid Room.
Bo Xichen was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine, his jacket tossed aside. He looked as though he was waiting for her.
Gu Anxi walked over and snuggled up to him. "Uncle."
"So, the little spy has delivered her report?" he said, putting down his magazine and lightly pinching her ear with a teasing smile.
"Ouch, ouch!" she yelped, feigning pain. She knew he wouldn’t really hurt her and snuggled even closer into his embrace.
After they had bantered for a while, she finally asked softly, "Aunt Bo Jin finally seems interested in soone. Can you really bear to see her stay single forever?"
Bo Xichen smiled. "You even dare to ddle in the affairs of your elders now."
He then added, "Aunt Bo Jin’s affairs are one thing, but you are not allowed to ddle in Second Uncle’s business. Do you hear ?"
She mumbled an "Oh." Believing her response lacked sincerity, Bo Xichen pinched her ear again. "You’re becoming more and more disobedient."
"I’m listening, I’m listening!" she said sycophantically, then hugged his arm. "I’m so tired!"
He glanced at her. "That trick won’t work on anymore."
With that, he stood up, scooped her into his arms, and carried her to the bathroom.
