Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 695 - 696: Gu Anxi is the Head of Chu Family

Chapter 695: Chapter 696: Gu Anxi is the Head of Chu Family

At Gu Anxi’s words, Old Master Bo’s eyes widened. After a long moment, he finally asked, "How can that be possible?"

He turned to Chu Changhe. "Little Chu, let me ask you, how is it that you’re no longer the Chu Family Head?"

Chu Changhe, his face full of shame, made an apologetic gesture to everyone present before slowly saying, "What Little Gu said is indeed true. I stepped down as Family Head several years ago."

Perhaps overcome with complex emotions, the former Family Head expressed himself candidly on the spot, "My, Changhe’s, inability to manage the family led to a reprimand from my father when he was alive. He then found a more suitable successor. As for past matters... it’s best not to mention them."

His words lent credence to the claim.

Old Master Bo was inwardly ecstatic. Heaven itself is helping me!

That brat Bo Qing is finished, and I was just looking for a way out of this awkward situation. Now that Chu Changhe isn’t the Family Head, everything discussed before can be treated as hot air. Nian Yao can remain securely in his position as Family Head. Excellent.

With this thought, Old Master Bo feigned regret. "Well, that’s quite unfortunate."

Then he cleared his throat again. "Since you’re no longer the Family Head, our previous understanding naturally doesn’t count. Go sit over there."

Chu Changhe gave a sheepish smile and led his wife and son to sit aside. The moment they were seated, Bo Qing spoke coolly, "Since Chu Changhe is no longer the Family Head, the Chu family must have someone who calls the shots, correct?"

Everyone present nodded in agreement. Yes, yes, there must be someone in charge.

Chu Changhe paused for a moment, then offered an apologetic smile. "I assumed Mr. Bo Qing would know. After all, you were her master. How could she not have told you something so important?"

Bo Qing was stunned.

Everyone present was also stunned.

What?

Isn’t Bo Qing’s disciple Little Gu?

Little Gu is actually the Chu Family Head?

Isn’t this too surreal?

Bo Qing narrowed his eyes, his voice soft. "How could it be?"

"Why not? Several years ago, Anxi was just here in Beicheng for remedial classes when my grandfather dragged her back to become the Family Head. It was a strange twist of fate. At the time, I was very much against it. But today..." Chu Changhe slowly stood up, walked over to Gu Anxi, and bowed deeply. "I, Changhe, am thoroughly convinced of the Family Head’s capabilities."

Following his lead, Madame Chu, Chu Ci, and Chu Yan all came forward to perform the rites of greeting the Family Head.

The room fell utterly silent.

Everyone stared at the scene.

Madame Bo was incredibly pleased. Heh, look how outstanding my darling is! If anyone dares say my darling is marrying up into the Bo family, I’ll rip their mouths apart!

Bo Nianyao’s eyes also grew slightly moist. Although I’d guessed it, truly knowing it is another matter entirely!

He turned to his son. "Xichen, did you know about this already?"

Bo Xichen smiled and nodded. "Yes, she mentioned a little about it."

Bo Nianyao felt a sense of fulfillment and said no more.

Everyone was still reeling from the shock. Bo Qing was the first to recover. His gaze rested lightly on Gu Anxi as he asked softly, "Did you calculate everything from the start, just waiting for me to walk into your trap?"

Gu Anxi smiled faintly. "It’s just that your ambition was too blatant, Second Uncle."

Bo Qing also smiled and looked towards the Chu family members, his gaze finally landing on Madame Chu. "I just wonder if Madame Chu minds her son marrying the daughter of her former sworn enemy."

Madame Chu was stunned. Her gaze fell on her son, Chu Ci. Chu Yan isn’t a biological member of the Chu family; she’s adopted. I raised her without holding past grudges, and I cared for her when she was in danger. But only now do I realize she’s with Chu Ci! How can this be?

Seeing this, Gu Anxi knew things were about to get ugly. She frowned. "Chu Changhe, resolve your family matters at home. Take your wife and children away now. Otherwise, if Madame Chu causes a scene, it won’t be pretty."

Chu Changhe was also in a difficult position. He sighed. "My dear, let’s talk about this at home!"

Madame Chu stared fixedly at Chu Ci, her voice stern. "Chu Ci, what did you promise me?"

Chu Ci replied softly, "I couldn’t control my feelings."

Just as Madame Chu was about to speak again, Gu Anxi slowly stepped forward. "Return to the Chu residence first."

Gu Anxi still held significant sway in the Chu family. Beyond her title as Family Head, Madame Chu had witnessed her methods—ruthless and forged in turmoil. Thus, however irrational she felt, Madame Chu knew she couldn’t disrespect the Family Head now, so she suppressed her anger and retreated.

After the Chu family of three had left, Gu Anxi had someone bring a chair. She swaggered over and sat down, placing herself among the heads of the four great families. She patted the armrests, then looked at Bo Xichen. "Little Uncle, from now on, you’re a generation below me!"

Everyone was rather speechless. To think she could still flirt at a time like this.

Unexpectedly, Bo Xichen actually nodded. "Xichen will naturally listen to what the Chu Family Head says."

He had barely finished speaking when another voice sounded from the entrance, "Since the Chu Family Head has been mentioned, we might as well make it a double celebration."

As the voice faded, Gu Changqing appeared at the doorway, looking effortlessly stylish.

The moment Gu Anxi saw him, she knew he was up to no good.

And indeed, Gu Changqing walked up to Gu Yuanshan and said with a faint smile, "This Gu Family Head position, let’s have Anxi inherit it. I’m really not interested in all those strange and mysterious things."

Gu Yuanshan frowned. "Anxi hasn’t studied it, nor would she know how."

Gu Changqing glanced at the nearby Wang Jingyao and Min Xin, then smiled. "Aren’t they quite taken with Anxi’s ways? Isn’t that enough?"

Gu Yuanshan pondered this carefully, then slapped his thigh. He immediately took out his seal and thrust it into Gu Anxi’s hand. "Alright, the Gu family is yours from now on."

With that, he dragged his son away, leaving with such haste it was as if he feared the Family Head position would be thrust back upon him.

The scene fell quiet once more. Can they even do that? Do the Gu father and son have no shame whatsoever?

Gu Anxi looked at the seal in her hand, then turned to Bo Nianyao with a wry smile. "Daddy Bo?"

Bo Nianyao said earnestly, "Kiddo, don’t worry. Your Daddy Bo can hold on for another year or two. As for what comes after... actually, I also think you’re a good candidate."

It was quite embarrassing to say, but if I don’t say it now, there won’t be another chance. Everyone else is shedding their burdens and quitting; if I don’t throw mine off now, when will I?

Gu Anxi looked at Bo Xichen. "Little Uncle, you’ll take it, right?"

Bo Xichen replied with a straight face, "I will take it. However, thinking about these three Family Head positions, don’t we need to work hard on ’production’ so we have enough heirs to inherit them?"

Little Gu thought for a moment. That seems right. She stretched lazily. "Alright, that’s all for today. Meeting adjourned."

Old Master Bo also echoed, "Meeting adjourned!"

Gu Anxi looked at him. "Great-Grandfather, shouldn’t you go back to where you came from?"

Old Master Bo’s old face flushed slightly. He coughed lightly. "The Bo family is my root; where else can I go?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Gu Anxi looked puzzled. "To your big brother’s place, of course!"

Bo Qing shot her a look, then rose and left, a group of people following him.

Old Master Bo clutched his chair, stubbornly refusing to leave...
