Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 569 - 570: The Lady’s Beauty is Like a Flower
Min Xin stared at the address; it felt somewhat familiar. It was a high-rise villa area, with units starting at a hundred million.
He thought about Zhou Yu’s circle. Only Gu Anxi had the means to settle her in such a place.
Min Xin immediately changed his clothes and got into his car to rush over.
At the same time, Gu Anxi also received a message: Min Xin had found Zhou Yu and was on his way to get her.
Gu Anxi yawned. He probably can’t take her away, she thought. Min Xin is a man of status, after all, and has his pride. Right now, Zhou Yu isn’t alone; her parents are with her. Would Min Xin really resort to forcefully taking her, like a bandit kidnapping a maiden? Someone of Min Xin’s standing wouldn’t stoop to that.
Gu Anxi tossed her phone aside and snuggled back into her blankets for a nap. Just then, Bo Xichen walked out of the bathroom, alluringly disheveled. She gazed at him with longing eyes...
Her Uncle Bo Xichen bent over slightly and smirked. "Dare to provoke me again?"
She whispered that she wouldn’t dare.
He pinched her face again. "Avoid provoking Min Xin for now," he said.
She hummed in acknowledgment, then whispered, "Zhou Yu is starting work at Cloud He Group today."
The beautiful young lady was going to become her secretary. How incredibly glamorous that would be! The thought alone was thrilling. Ma and Wang, those two on duty, would probably wish they could stay at the company 365 days a year and never go home...
Bo Xichen knew full well what she was thinking. He shook his head with a helpless smile, adjusted his tie, and left for work.
Little Gu, the CEO, had certain privileges. She never arrived at the company before 10:30 in the morning, and everyone in the entire group had grown accustomed to it, unless there were special circumstances.
However, Gu Anxi planned to go early today because she needed to pick up Zhou Yu for work.
How pitiful! She was doing a man’s job! Min Xin was truly useless!
「...」
Over there, the prestigious man’s car pulled up to the villa entrance. Knowing Zhou Yu’s parents were present, he had only brought his secretary, approaching alone.
He exited the car and politely rang the doorbell. A servant peeked out. "It’s Mr. Min."
The door opened, and his entry was smooth.
Yet, the smoother it went, the more Min Xin sensed something was amiss. That little bastard! He’s utterly devious!
He walked in slowly, his secretary carrying a large gift box filled with various health supplements for the Zhou elders.
Min Xin could be ruthless, but in front of the Zhou elders, he still put on an act and showed them due respect.
When Zhou Yu’s parents had been brought over, they were initially shocked and fearful. Now, seeing their son-in-law being so polite made their feelings even more complicated. For years, they hadn’t been able to see Zhou Yu whenever they wished, only during holidays. At other times, their son-in-law would find excuses to send them away.
Now, seeing Min Xin acting so deferential towards them, it was indeed a peculiar sight.
The Zhou elders sat on the sofa, speaking with him somewhat uncomfortably, as Zhou Yu had mentioned wanting a divorce.
It wasn’t that they disagreed, but they feared Min Xin wouldn’t.
Min Xin, however, was perfectly at ease, as if nothing had happened. He sat calmly, chatting with the two elders, not appearing to be in any hurry.
About half an hour later, Zhou Yu slowly descended the stairs, her voice soft. "Mom, how does this outfit look?"
The clothes were prepared by Anxi, ranging from casual home wear to professional work attire and even elegant banquet gowns. All were from expensive brands, comparable to her previous standard of living. Zhou Yu felt somewhat uneasy, but Anxi had assured her that her image at work alone could significantly boost the company’s productivity, making the expense worthwhile.
At this moment, she wore a silk white blouse and a black wrap skirt that reached her ankles. Her tea-brown hair was gathered at the back. She looked exceptionally fresh and lovely, and her figure was exceptionally... good.
Min Xin had always provided for her, and her wardrobe was full of expensive clothes, but he had never seen her dressed like this... It wasn’t that she didn’t look good; she looked too... good, especially the lines of her back!!!
Damn Gu Anxi! She definitely did this on purpose.
Min Xin’s eyes turned red, veins bulging on his forehead. His voice was slightly hoarse as he ordered, "Go change."
Zhou Yu’s light footsteps halted. She hadn’t noticed Min Xin earlier. Seeing him now, she instinctively wrapped her arms around herself, standing on the stairs, unwilling to come down.
Min Xin was very displeased.
She was Mrs. Min, yet now she was living in someone else’s house, wearing clothes prepared by someone else. He could tell the outfit was expensive, and the house was exquisitely decorated in a style Zhou Yu favored. This was tantamount to Gu Anxi keeping Zhou Yu like a canary in a gilded cage! That Gu Anxi!
Min Xin squinted at Zhou Yu and repeated, "Go change." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Zhou Yu was initially frightened, but then she realized he had only come with his secretary. Her confidence returned. "I think it’s fine," she said.
Min Xin, forgetting the Zhou elders were present, issued a habitual command, "What’s so good about it? That kind of outfit doesn’t suit you."
This seemingly conservative secretarial suit could easily stir a man’s imagination! His wife, Mrs. Min, certainly couldn’t wear such attire.
Zhou Yu seldom insisted like this. "I said it’s fine. Besides... Min Xin, we’re getting a divorce. You don’t need to concern yourself with my affairs anymore."
Min Xin scoffed, "Are you really planning to be a secretary? Earning a few tens of thousands a month? Do you genuinely believe that a few tens of thousands will allow you to live here? And your clothes, your expenses? Are you preparing to be kept here by Little Gu? Zhou Yu, where is your self-respect?"
She was so thoroughly berated by him that she hung her head. After a long moment, she finally spoke, "In your eyes, I’m just a worthless woman who needs to be kept, right? If that’s the case, then whether I’m kept by you or by someone else, there isn’t much difference."
’Not much difference’... Did that mean his other attractive qualities were now irrelevant to her?
Min Xin said furiously, "Do you really think that? Zhou Yu, I have a temper too!"
It had to be said, the phone call that morning had shaken him. Coupled with Zhou Yu’s current attitude, he was truly beginning to waver, yet he still couldn’t make a decision.
Zhou Yu slowly walked down, stopping beside him. Summoning her courage, she said, "I slept well last night. I was a little scared, but being away from you, I could sleep. And thinking about going to work today makes me happy. It’s not like in that mansion, where every day felt oppressive."
The Zhou elders said nothing.
Min Xin held a cigarette between his fingers, listening silently as she spoke. Her words were like knives, stabbing into his heart...
Min Xin let out a long sigh, his gaze fixed on her. "Are you serious?" he asked.
Zhou Yu turned her face away, revealing a delicate, slender neck. She was impeccably maintained, very beautiful.
Min Xin’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He said faintly, "I’ll give you one month to think it over clearly: whether it’s happier to be the lofty Mrs. Min, or better to live by constantly watching others’ expressions."
Zhou Yu remained silent. Min Xin nodded to the Zhou elders and strode out.
Just as he reached the entrance, he saw a fancy sports car approach and stop with a SCREECH.
