Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 640 - 641: The Fate of the Dragon and Phoenix among Humans being Pierced
Zhou Yunchen noticed Wang Keru’s burning gaze. He immediately shivered and whispered to his wife, "When we have children, we must never let Auntie take care of them."
Shen Congwen was puzzled. "Why? Isn’t Anxi well taken care of by her?"
Before Zhou Yunchen could finish, Wang Keru, with her sharp ears, heard him. "Yun Chen, what are you saying to Congwen?"
Shen Congwen smiled politely.
Zhou Yunchen immediately cowered. "I was praising you."
Only then was Wang Keru satisfied. "I have a wealth of experience, you know."
Zhou Yunchen gave a bitter smile and looked at his wife again.
Shen Congwen also smiled and said softly, "Actually, Auntie has a pretty good personality."
Zhou Yunchen’s heart sank. It was over; his wife had been poisoned by Wang Keru...
However, it was too early to talk about this. Congwen didn’t seem to want children for now, so there was nothing he could do alone.
The group got into the car and headed for the Civil Affairs Bureau, a grand procession.
「Meanwhile, Gu Mingzhu stood in Min Xin’s villa living room, looking up as Min Xin slowly descended the stairs.」
Min Xin didn’t come down immediately. Instead, he leaned on the banister and said, somewhat unhappily, "Why are you here?"
His mood had been terrible lately. He had no wife, Old Wang constantly targeted him at work, and people he didn’t want to see kept bothering him every few days.
Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips and said softly, "Uncle, do you know that Gu Anxi and Brother Xichen are getting their marriage license today?"
Min Xin finally came down the stairs slowly, took out a cigarette, lit it, and sat down. "I heard from Wang Yuan that you like Shen Congwen. Why are you suddenly concerned about Bo Xichen’s affairs?"
Gu Mingzhu spoke even more carefully. "Mainly because this matter concerns Mr. Wang."
"King Jingyao?" Min Xin scoffed dismissively. "He’s probably at home crying his eyes out!"
Come to think of it, that was likely. A man like King Jingyao, falling for a young girl who didn’t even like him. He had insisted on being her ’brother,’ and now she was getting married. He was probably shedding tears of blood while forcing himself to offer blessings. The thought alone was pitiful.
Min Xin’s mood instantly brightened, and he found Gu Mingzhu much more pleasant to look at. "Is that all?"
Gu Mingzhu hesitated before saying, "Haven’t you always hoped for a break between the Bo Family and the Wang Family? Now there’s an excellent opportunity."
Min Xin sounded somewhat languid. "What opportunity?"
Gu Mingzhu said softly, "Regarding Gu Anxi and King Jingyao, my dad... I mean, Gu Yuanshan once said they were a match made in heaven. Gu Anxi’s destiny is that of a dragon or phoenix among mortals. Think about it, if this news got out, it would definitely put pressure on Mr. Wang. For the sake of the bigger picture, those who want him to marry Gu Anxi... aren’t just the powerful figures in Beicheng."
Min Xin shot up and paced back and forth a few times. "Something like that actually happened!"
Gu Mingzhu affirmed, "It’s absolutely true. Gu Yuanshan told my mom in a moment of desperation. He recently smashed all his divination tools."
Min Xin, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, squinted and called Wang Yuan over. "Find out if they’ve signed the papers over there. If not, we need to send them a big gift."
Wang Yuan immediately went to investigate. Less than five minutes later, he returned. "The Bo Family members are still on their way."
"Excellent! A perfect opportunity." Min Xin ground his fine, white teeth. "Get Gu Yuanshan for me. And spread the news immediately that Gu Anxi’s destiny is to be King Jingyao’s perfect match, a destiny of a dragon or phoenix among mortals. Whoever dares to interfere with this fate, not even King Jingyao himself can break it!"
Listening, Gu Mingzhu quietly clenched her fists.
Very good. This was exactly what she wanted.
Gu Anxi wanted to marry Bo Xichen and be happy? It wouldn’t be that easy!
She wanted to see the Bo Family and Mr. Wang at each other’s throats. Heh!
While the Bo Family was cheerfully on their way to register the marriage, Min Xin acted quickly. The rumors spread like wildfire. In less than ten minutes, all of Beicheng knew that Gu Anxi and King Jingyao were a perfect match, destined to bring good fortune to Beicheng. But now Gu Anxi was going to marry into the Bo Family... How could this be allowed?
Older Brother, of course, also received the news. What a headache!
He did like the little rascal. He had even asked Gu Yuanshan to do a reading for them. He’d given up because of that reading. But now, to say they were incredibly compatible... he couldn’t bring himself to be happy.
He wasn’t a fool; this was definitely Min Xin’s doing. He immediately ordered Wang Jingchuan to bring Gu Yuanshan. "Whatever it takes, Gu Yuanshan must retract his statement."
Wang Jingchuan sighed. "Sir, Gu Yuanshan has already been taken by Mr. Min. This time, Min Xin is clearly trying to cause trouble for you."
King Jingyao narrowed his eyes. "Is there no way to deal with him? That shameless bastard! Even if this matter is resolved, people will just say I’m an old man desperately trying to latch onto her, a total simp!"
Wang Jingchuan thought silently: Aren’t you already desperately latching on, Sir? Aren’t you a simp?
Older Brother was angered by Wang Jingchuan’s look. "What kind of look is that?"
Wang Jingchuan said honestly, "Right now, our only option is to ask Miss Anxi if she has a solution. She has many unconventional methods."
Older Brother nodded. "That’s right. That little rascal is full of cunning ideas! I’ll call her myself. Get the car ready; I suspect Min Xin has already brought people over."
Wang Jingchuan’s expression tensed. "Yes!"
Older Brother immediately grabbed his coat and, while walking, called his "little sister"—
Little sister, don’t sign the certificate yet! Help your older brother save face first; it won’t be too late to sign after that!
「Gu Anxi had already seen the news before receiving the call. She was quite speechless.」
Min Xin was skillfully playing the game of ’killing with a borrowed knife.’
However, she guessed that Gu Mingzhu must have told Min Xin this ’good news.’ Otherwise, Min Xin couldn’t have known.
She called Gu Yuanshan, but he didn’t answer. He was clearly with Min Xin.
So, everyone in the Bo Family stood down. They had plenty of time; there was no need to rush.
「In half an hour, Min Xin’s group and Older Brother’s group all arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau!」
A sea of black cars was parked at the entrance.
Min Xin and King Jingyao led the way, walking in side by side, followed by a large crowd. They all hoped King Jingyao would marry Gu Anxi to ensure good fortune, so everyone could prosper peacefully.
Gu Yuanshan trailed behind them, looking incredibly old and his eyes lifeless. He had none of the confident air of the master fortune-teller he once was.
When he saw Gu Anxi, his old eyes showed a hint of guilt. Then, he stared at Gu Mingzhu, his eyes filled with hatred.
At this moment, there was truly no familial affection left. The child born of that malicious woman now single-mindedly wanted to harm his daughter, Anxi.
Min Xin chuckled. "Quite the gathering. Old Gu, your family is having a reunion, it seems."
Gu Yuanshan’s lips moved, but he said nothing.
King Jingyao chuckled. "I don’t know if Old Gu is having a reunion, but Brother Min, you’ve certainly gotten your wish. I never realized you were so devoted. For a seed sown twenty years ago, you’re willing to abandon your wife... Well, I suppose when one is readily available, so fair and tender, one look makes you want to take her home."
Min Xin was furious.
Gu Mingzhu was overjoyed.
She thought that since Min Xin hadn’t brought Zhou Yu home, she might actually have a chance!
Older Brother then added with feigned pity, "It’s just pitiful for Zhou Yu. The child in her belly has no father to acknowledge it. For a man to act like this, it’s truly spineless. Brother Min, let me offer you some advice: handle your own private affairs before you bother with mine. I’d be immensely grateful then."
