Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 438 - 439: Everything needs to be reshuffled
Jiang Bin smiled with satisfaction when he saw he had convinced Jiang Chaoge. "Don’t rush things for now," he said. "The priority is to perform Old Wang’s surgery successfully. Then... if you can win over that person’s favor, the Jiang Family and the Jiang Family Hospital will both be in an entirely different position."
Jiang Chaoge couldn’t help but smile as well, her moodiness, a result of Jack’s manipulation, instantly dissipated.
Then, under Jiang Bin’s arrangement, the news of Old Wang’s transfer to the Jiang Family Hospital spread throughout Beicheng.
When Tang Yuan heard Gu Yuanshan mention this, she couldn’t help but smile. "Yuanshan, you also hold shares in the Jiang Family Hospital. This is a good thing."
Gu Yuanshan sat there, performed a quick divination, and then fell silent.
He wasn’t divining the Jiang Family’s fate; that was something he couldn’t determine.
He was divining for Jiang Chaoge.
Her fate isn’t good. Destined to travel far from home, to be lonely and without support in old age, and to remain unmarried her entire life.
With such a fate, where is the great wealth and honor she’s supposed to have?
However, Gu Yuanshan didn’t reveal anything. Revealing too many heavenly secrets wasn’t good; it would harm him.
Tang Yuan didn’t think much of it and went upstairs after chatting with her husband for a while.
Once she left, Gu Yuanshan called over Shen Congwen.
Seeing his worried expression, Shen Congwen couldn’t help but ask softly, "Mr. Gu, what happened?"
Gu Yuanshan tapped on his desk and softly asked, "How much have we invested in the Jiang Family Hospital?"
Without thinking, Shen Congwen replied, "Over five billion."
Gu Yuanshan closed his eyes. "All down the drain!"
Shen Congwen was startled. "What do you mean?"
Gu Yuanshan opened his eyes. "Jiang Chaoge’s fate isn’t good; she doesn’t have the destiny for this. I predict that the Jiang Family Hospital’s venture will fail."
He continued, "I’ve heard that Bo Jingshen masterminded this. He’s a man of truly Machiavellian nature. His gains are assured no matter how the tides turn. If the Jiang Family triumphs, he wins face in front of King Jingyao. If the Bo Family comes out on top, he indirectly assists in crushing the Jiang Family. It’s a profitable deal for him regardless."
Shen Congwen fell silent.
Gu Yuanshan smiled. "Bo Jingshen is so capable, it’s no wonder Bo Nianyao somewhat can’t stand him. He [Bo Nianyao] must be trying to figure out what to do, don’t you think?"
He took a sip of tea. "Congwen, their affairs are incredibly complex, impossible for outsiders to comprehend."
He just regretted that such a large sum of money invested couldn’t be recovered. Moreover, it seemed he had backed the wrong horse.
Gu Yuanshan glanced at Shen Congwen and slowly spoke, "I don’t know why, but I genuinely trust Anxi. This child is more than meets the eye, truly not an ordinary person."
A phoenix among women...
Gu Yuanshan looked aghast, his entire body rigid.
Afterward, his hands trembling, he performed another divination for Anxi—
Still, a phoenix among women!
Though the divination signs had changed slightly...
Gu Yuanshan gazed blankly at the result, falling into a long silence.
Shen Congwen broke the silence softly, "Mr. Gu?"
Gu Yuanshan murmured, "Congwen, it’s too late for anything now."
He had wronged Anxi. His lifelong obsession with this art had turned his youngest daughter into a sacrifice. And now, he barely had the courage to perform another divination.
It was all about Anxi and King Jingyao.
Jiang Chaoge had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Shen Congwen didn’t understand this, but seeing Gu Yuanshan’s expression, he knew it must be serious.
Gu Yuanshan looked weary. "Alright, Congwen, you may leave now."
Shen Congwen nodded.
Gu Yuanshan stopped him. "Hold on a moment."
He hesitated for a while before he asked, "Can you arrange a meeting with Anxi for me?"
Shen Congwen was an extremely intelligent man and managed to infer some of what was going on.
He nodded and agreed.
Gu Yuanshan personally walked over to him, patting his shoulder. "Congwen, you are the person I trust most. Anxi... I owe her quite a lot. This child has also particularly strived to make us proud. I hope she will be happy."
Shen Congwen nodded. "I understand, Mr. Gu."
Gu Yuanshan managed a smile. "Alright, go ahead and arrange it. Tell her I would like to invite her for a meal."
Once Shen Congwen left, Gu Yuanshan sat alone in the shadows of the lamp, remaining silent for a long time.
While everyone was discussing the marvels of the Jiang Family Hospital and Jiang Chaoge’s impending meteoric rise, only Gu Yuanshan knew. After this incident, the deck is about to be completely reshuffled...
Therefore, he had to see Anxi.
Even if this child were to live a more ordinary life from now on, that would be fine. As her father, he didn’t want her... to become someone’s second wife and, on top of that, lose out on love.
Gu Yuanshan sat alone, sighing softly. Perhaps he truly felt some regret at this moment...
