Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 572 - 573 Don’t forget who your husband is

Chapter 572: Chapter 573 Don’t forget who your husband is

With so many people around, everyone knew Zhou Yu was his wife.

Zhou Yu came from a distinguished family and would never behave discourteously.

Min Xin was fully convinced, his gaze slightly eager as he watched her.

Zhou Yu was somewhat surprised, then she averted her gaze and said softly, "Anxi will take me home later."

It was Gu Anxi again!

Min Xin said patiently, "Why trouble an outsider? Come home with me, hmm?"

Many people around had started to look at them, and Min Xin could not afford to lose face.

Zhou Yu, who had seemed somewhat weak, became surprisingly resolute at his words. "Anxi isn’t an outsider. She calls me Sister Zhou."

She hesitated then added, "Isn’t there a party tomorrow?"

Tomorrow... The mere thought of it made Min Xin want to cough up blood on the spot!

All these years, he had supported Zhou Yu, truly spoiling her to the point where she seemed untouched by worldly concerns. He practically bled himself dry for every party. Gu Anxi determined the amount, and Zhou Yu genuinely had no idea about the family’s finances or the value of money.

Just as Min Xin felt like he was about to hemorrhage, Wang Jingyao spoke up. "If you don’t like Anxi driving you, I can do it."

Min Xin felt like he was choking on blood again.

Given Zhou Yu’s attire that day, the thought of her sharing a car with Wang Jingyao, squeezed into the back seat, was unbearable to him. So he said coldly, "That won’t be necessary! I think Little Gu is perfectly fine to take her."

Wang Jingyao glanced at Gu Anxi. "Alright, then you can handle it."

With that, he stood up. "That’s all for today. We’ll continue tomorrow."

Once the most important figure declared the day over, everyone else followed suit, leaving in twos and threes.

Min Xin stared at Zhou Yu. He noticed she was sticking close to Gu Anxi without even glancing at him, and his anger flared.

He grabbed Zhou Yu’s arm. "I need to talk to you."

But Zhou Yu seemed quite rushed. "Whatever it is, we can talk tomorrow. I have to go now."

Min Xin’s voice was tight with suppressed anger. "Zhou Yu, don’t forget who your husband is."

"I want a divorce," she mumbled, head down. Then she pulled away from him, gathered her skirt, and hurried after Gu Anxi.

Min Xin sat there alone, utterly isolated.

Meanwhile, Gu Anxi got into the car. Wang Keru and Zhou Yu were in the back seat.

Wang Keru patted Zhou Yu’s arm, praising her effusively. "That’s the way! Men should be the ones doing the chasing. If women just wait at home, they lose out. See? He’s already paying up for household expenses without you even asking."

Gu Anxi smirked, "Mom, don’t lead Sister Zhou astray."

Wang Keru glared at her. "How is this leading her astray? I’m imparting true wisdom! I don’t just tell anyone."

Gu Anxi laughed, but she did hand the check worth a few million back to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu refused to take it.

Gu Anxi chuckled. "Silly! This is support money from Min Xin. Besides, you and your parents need to live. They’ve always lived upright lives; how could they support your current lifestyle?"

This was true. The Zhou Family wouldn’t have been in such a state if Min Xin hadn’t been deliberately making things difficult, all to cut off Zhou Yu’s escape routes. That bastard was truly ruthless.

Zhou Yu quietly accepted it.

As Gu Anxi started the car, she casually said, "Let him ’play’ for a week. We should be able to get at least several tens of millions out of him. Spend it wisely, and you and your parents won’t have to worry for several years."

Zhou Yu’s voice was a little hoarse. "Am I really that useless?"

"Not at all! My mom is the same—never worked a day in her life and has always had men supporting her," Gu Anxi said, coughing lightly.

Wang Keru was displeased. "Anxi!" How could she expose my shortcomings like that!

Gu Anxi quickly apologized. Zhou Yu laughed and then said, "It’s different. I want to leave him."

"Exactly, divorce. He should at least compensate you for your lost youth," Gu Anxi said sagely. "At least several hundred million!"

Wang Keru chimed in, "That’s right. Don’t be foolish."

And so Zhou Yu, such an ethereal beauty, was thoroughly indoctrinated by Wang Keru and Gu Anxi’s philosophy that money solves everything...

Thinking about it this way, she actually felt a sense of relief.

Meanwhile, Min Xin was indeed feeling lonely and restless. The next day, after finding out the location, he rushed over in the evening, burning with impatience.

Unsurprisingly, he lost another several million. All this money went into Zhou Yu’s private coffers. Gu Anxi had even specially found a financial advisor to help manage it.

After a week of this, Zhou Yu’s account held a solid forty million.

Staring at the numbers, Zhou Yu felt it was all somewhat surreal.

「In the office of the Cloud He Group」

Little Gu gently patted her shoulder. "See? Doesn’t money bring an immense sense of security?"

Zhou Yu nodded gently, "It seems so."

Secretary Tang and the others were incredibly envious. Forty million!

Little Gu rested her chin in her hand and chuckled. "No need to be envious. First, you’d need a super-rich almost-ex-husband who supposedly loves you deeply. Otherwise, where would you get that kind of money?"

Zhou Yu blushed and lowered her head.

Secretary Tang glanced at her, then at Gu Anxi. "I’ll take my leave then."

After she left, Zhou Yu asked in a low voice, "Is there another banquet tonight?"

Gu Anxi had been genuinely exhausted these past few days. She yawned. "Tonight’s the last one!"

「Eight o’clock in the evening.」

「A high-end clubhouse.」

There weren’t many other guests, just a few regulars—the usual bosses—playing cards, waiting for Min Xin.

Min Xin had been extremely dissatisfied lately. The ’banquets’ were becoming less and less sophisticated, and Zhou Yu was growing increasingly cold towards him. The moment he arrived tonight, he felt like causing a scene.

What kind of banquet was this? Just a card table!

He was spending millions every night; didn’t he deserve a proper banquet?

Gu Anxi, resting her small head on one hand, greeted him listlessly, "Mr. Min, we were just waiting for you."

Min Xin sat down, sulking. Seeing he was in a foul mood, Zhou Yu made no effort to speak to him.

They played a few rounds of cards in silence. Unsurprisingly, Min Xin lost money again—and quite a lot of it. He didn’t seem to care, though, his gaze fixed intently on Zhou Yu as they played.

Today, Zhou Yu wore a light coffee-colored long dress. Her long hair was down, and she had makeup on.

She leaned against Gu Anxi, looking utterly trusting.

Min Xin’s gaze was practically burning; he couldn’t tear his eyes away.

As the card game was nearing its end, Zhou Yu got up to go to the restroom.

Min Xin watched her retreating figure, then said after a moment, "Excuse me for a moment."

Gu Anxi smirked. "Mr. Min, perhaps you should go for a check-up with internal medicine tomorrow? Your kidneys don’t seem to be doing too well!"

Min Xin scoffed, "I’m perfectly fine."

...

Five minutes later, Zhou Yu emerged from the restroom. She had just finished washing her hands when someone grabbed her.

She looked up and saw Min Xin.

She struggled. "Let go of me!"

Min Xin pinned her against the wall, leaning closer. "You’ve been avoiding me, haven’t you? How dare you come to the restroom alone?"

He had been holding back for many days and had finally found this opportunity...
