Gu Yuanshan fell silent. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The Secretary-General laughed. "It’s not necessarily a bad thing! Just ensure your stance is firm, Yuanshan. Also, Mr. Wang absolutely detests being deceived."

Gu Yuanshan broke into another cold sweat.

Now that the Secretary-General felt he had put Gu Yuanshan through enough, he softened his tone. "Actually, the reason I called you today was also to tell you that Mr. Wang will be attending Miss Mingzhu’s birthday."

Gu Yuanshan was both shocked and overjoyed.

The Secretary-General then uttered many ambiguous and flattering words, making Gu Yuanshan believe that Gu Mingzhu truly had a chance to soar to prominence. Right then and there, he decided to go back and organize an incredibly grand birthday banquet.

Only the best of everything was chosen; extravagance was the guiding principle!

For a time, Gu Mingzhu was the unrivaled talk of Beicheng, with stories about her circulating everywhere—

However, Gu Anxi never paid much mind to the Gu family of Beicheng. She continued to busy herself with her own matters and pursue her romance with her young uncle, except for when she was occasionally called over for a lecture by that ’brother’ of hers, usually because she had done something that greatly displeased him.

News of Mr. Wang’s lectures still spread, which made Gu Mingzhu even more smug. She believed Gu Anxi’s overly high-profile behavior was what Mr. Wang disliked.

In truth, she didn’t particularly want to see Gu Anxi, but she longed to show her what the true treatment of a Beicheng socialite entailed. And Mr. Wang would be attending her birthday banquet—

Gu Anxi, you’ll be envious, won’t you!

The invitation from the Bo Family was personally delivered by Tang Yuan. She and Mrs. Bo had some past friction, but now she adopted a softer stance, considering they would have many opportunities to interact in the future.

While Mrs. Bo was entertaining her, Gu Anxi happened to return from outside, calling out, "Mama Bo, my car broke down! Can you give me a ride to school?"

Only after finishing her sentence did she notice Tang Yuan. Tang Yuan also looked taken aback.

Mrs. Bo, however, smiled and said, "I’m with a guest right now. See if your second uncle or Bo Jin’s mother has time to take you."

Gu Anxi said, "Oh."

Tang Yuan then spoke up, "Since I’ve delivered the invitation, I might as well give Anxi a lift."

Mrs. Bo hadn’t expected Tang Yuan to be so magnanimous, but being an extremely astute woman, she understood in an instant.

Tang Yuan had recently been scheming to push Gu Mingzhu toward King Jingyao, and after a few attempts, she felt somewhat confident. People in high positions often liked to appear approachable, and Tang Yuan was likely thinking along these lines right now.

Mrs. Bo made no comment, leaving Gu Anxi to decide for herself.

Gu Anxi was somewhat surprised but quickly agreed, "Then thank you, Mrs. Gu."

Hearing this form of address, Tang Yuan’s beautiful face contorted slightly, but she said nothing.

It wasn’t until they were in the car that she finally couldn’t help but speak, her voice quite gentle, "Anxi, you can actually call me Auntie."

Gu Anxi, fastening her seatbelt, smiled. "Let’s maintain some distance and stick with Mrs. Gu. It wouldn’t be good for your reputation if people gossiped."

Tang Yuan sounded a little dejected. "Anxi, when there’s no one else around, it’s fine to call me Auntie."

Gu Anxi turned her head, her voice cooling slightly. "Is there a difference?"

Tang Yuan drove in silence for a long while before asking in a low voice, "Is your movie still in production?"

Gu Anxi hummed in acknowledgment, showing no interest in conversation.

Tang Yuan paused, then asked, "It’s being released in October? That’s rather close to Mingzhu’s film. Would you consider pushing yours back a bit?"

Gu Anxi’s voice was languid. "You can discuss that with Disney."

Tang Yuan faltered for a moment, then slowly said, "I heard you have a lot of say. They should listen to your opinion."

Gu Anxi felt she had made a mistake getting into Tang Yuan’s car. She lowered her head, fiddling with her fingernails. "Why should I do such a thankless task?"

Tang Yuan was silent for a moment before whispering, "Just consider it for your sister’s sake."

Gu Anxi chuckled. "I call you Mrs. Gu. How does that make your daughter my sister in any way?"

Tang Yuan’s expression turned sour. After a long pause, she managed to suppress her feelings. "If you’re unwilling, then forget it."

The car stopped at a red light. She rolled down the window and happened to see the person in the car beside them.

Bo Qing.
