Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 539 - 540: Wang Jingyao’s Birthday Feast, Bo’s Pharmaceutical?

It seemed that from that night on, he would invite Shen Congwen for dinner every night after work. Occasionally, during work, he would also ask him for his input. Shen Congwen sometimes stayed over, but more often, Zhou Yunchen would personally escort him home. While it wasn’t a perfect score, Zhou Yunchen was already very satisfied with achieving sixty to seventy percent of his goal...

With Mr. Zhou in a good mood, his passion for his career ignited, and Anpu Company’s profits began to soar!

When Gu Anxi called, she teased him a fair bit, but Mr. Zhou, deeply immersed in his sweet romance, didn’t mind at all and played along.

Gu Anxi hung up the phone, thoroughly satisfied.

Secretary Tang, standing nearby, gossiped, "Little Gu, are Mr. Zhou and Vice President Shen together now?"

Gu Anxi rubbed her chin. "They are indeed."

She looked up, smiling, her eyes crinkling, "The world has gone fantastical, hasn’t it?"

Secretary Tang nodded. "But, they are quite well-suited for each other."

Certain images began to form in Gu Anxi’s mind, making her even more cheerful...

Secretary Tang continued, "By the way, Little Gu, aren’t you attending Mr. Wang’s birthday banquet tonight?"

Gu Anxi hummed in affirmation. "Yes!"

Secretary Tang spoke even more cautiously, "I heard that he will announce his beloved younger sister tonight."

Little Gu will be in the spotlight then! That’s King Jingyao we’re talking about; isn’t being his sister an amazing thing?

Gu Anxi didn’t really care; such matters were trivial to her. If one lived their life solely for the approval of others, what would be the point? It’s much better to be true to oneself and be happy.

However, it was always good to clarify things; otherwise, others would think she was always fawning over her elder brother!

Nonsense! Isn’t sweet love wonderful enough?

Although she didn’t care too much, she still needed to give her elder brother enough face for his birthday. By four in the afternoon, she had already returned to Si Garden. When she got back, she happened to meet Bo Xichen, who had also come home early to prepare.

Bo Xichen’s parents had originally planned to go but decided against it at the last minute, mainly because they heard many young people would be there, and they didn’t want to join the bustling crowd.

This wasn’t a decision just anyone could make; it was mainly because their relationship had grown even closer. Why?

With King Jingyao’s little rascal practically a part of their household now, how would King Jingyao dare to do anything to the Bo Family? That little rascal would raise hell with him.

「But when the news reached the Gu family, their reactions were different.」

The Bo Family is getting arrogant because of the favor they’ve received; their time is probably up.

Upon hearing the news, Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips, thinking secretly. Mr. Wang is announcing the Old Madam’s goddaughter tonight, which means it has nothing to do with Gu Anxi. Besides, Lin Hua is going too. I’d like to see what Gu Anxi can do then!

Tang Yuan, at her side, quietly instructed her on matters for the banquet later, emphasizing that she absolutely must not displease Mr. Wang again due to her impulsiveness.

She understood clearly that tonight was a difficult hurdle to overcome. Gu Yuanshan had obviously made a deal with Gu Anxi. Shen Congwen had resigned from the Gu Corporation and suddenly disappeared from the Gu family’s sphere. Gu Anxi had settled things on her end, but what about Mr. Wang? His anger had likely not yet subsided!

Others didn’t know, and only Tang Yuan was clearly aware that Min Xin had also kicked them when they were down regarding this matter. Could King Jingyao let it go easily?

Tonight’s meeting was crucial for Tang Yuan. And her Mingzhu was innocent; she knew nothing.

While Tang Yuan and Gu Mingzhu were each lost in their own thoughts, Gu Yuanshan, on the other hand, seemed rather dispirited.

Losing Shen Congwen was like losing his right and left arms. Now, if he had something on his mind, he didn’t even have a confidant to talk to. Forget about others; even with Tang Yuan, the wife by his side, there was nothing to say.

However, Gu Yuanshan didn’t regret his decision. If exchanging one Congwen could secure the peace of the entire Gu family, it could be considered that responsibilities had been fulfilled. It was just a matter of some reluctance, that’s all. Hearing that Congwen would also be attending tonight made his feelings even more complicated.

「The three of them boarded the RV heading to King Jingyao’s residence.」

On the way, Tang Yuan did all the talking while Gu Mingzhu remained silent; the atmosphere was indeed very different from before.

Finally, their vehicle arrived at the Wang Family estate. A birthday banquet hosted by a major figure was inherently grand. Although not excessively extravagant, a romantic ambiance permeated every corner, an atmosphere Tang Yuan usually quite liked. However, she wasn’t in the mood for it now. Especially when the people she saw upon alighting from the car made her heart instantly clench.

It was Min Xin and Zhou Yu.
