Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1041 - 1040: The One Who Bought the Copyright Was Chu Ci

The elderly lady looked at the few young girls, including Jingyao’s wife Lin Hua, all of whom appeared surprised. She calmly waved her fan and said coolly: "She herself has tasted bitterness, and since she doesn’t think much of Chu Yan, why keep her by her side? Besides, the two kids truly love each other. Even if the younger one isn’t close, she was still watched growing up. A girl at this stage can be fragile and hurt, she should understand that. But being so hard-hearted is rare."Gu Anxi leaned close to the elderly lady and exchanged a glance with Lin Hua.

Lin Hua smiled and said: "It seems like it’s nothing now."

The elderly lady continued: "She wouldn’t truly want to die, it’s just to crush her son’s hopes."

She sighed: "That child is indeed pitiful."

She looked at Gu Anxi: "Didn’t she stay at your parents’ place before? I heard they got along well. Why did she go to England?"

Gu Anxi held the elderly lady’s hand and said helplessly: "Maybe her mood is still affected, or perhaps she doesn’t want to trouble others."

The elderly lady immediately said: "See, I knew I wasn’t wrong. What a good child."

She paused and continued: "She’s a good kid. When she returns from England, I’ll introduce her to a good match, guaranteed not worse than Chu Ci. Let that boy regret it."

Gu Mingzhu slowly spoke: "But maybe in Chu Yan’s heart, Chu Ci is the best."

The elderly lady dismissed it: "Best at what? Unable to protect their own woman, that’s useless. If this were Jingyao, see how he would fool me, his old mother. He’d probably swear to the heavens, deceive and bluff, or maybe just get married outside and address it later."

After speaking, she patted Lin Hua’s hand: "As for his affair with you, even if I disagreed, he’d still be sure to win you over."

After finishing, the elderly lady laughed, and the few young girls joined her in laughter.

Gu Mingzhu had concerns, initially afraid of selling the copyright, and now with such a big issue at the Chu Family, she’s feeling anxious, unable to hold back any longer, her face turning red.

Gu Anxi noticed and leaned against the elderly lady, asking mischievously: "Why are you blushing? You’re not thinking about Qin Siyuan again in broad daylight, are you?"

Gu Mingzhu’s face turned red and hot immediately, "I’m not."

"Then why are you blushing?"

Gu Mingzhu bit her lip, coughed lightly after a while: "This morning, I sold a book’s copyright, namely ."

Gu Anxi nodded: "That’s great, shouldn’t you be happy about it? You should treat us."

She took out her phone: "Let’s order something to eat, Mingzhu will pay."

The elderly lady also laughed; she initially looked down on Mingzhu, thinking she’s too impetuous. But when Tang Yuan left, Mingzhu seemed more grounded, proving some women are better off not around, like Mrs. Chu.

The elderly lady said: "Fine, I’ll order something too."

Gu Mingzhu hurried: "No, that’s not what I meant."

"Being stingy, stinginess won’t do," Gu Anxi laughed, "it’s inevitable anyway. Everyone in this house today gets a share, let’s order dozens of servings, costing her tens of thousands."

Gu Mingzhu placed her hand over Gu Anxi’s phone and swallowed: "Let’s talk about treating later, I have something to say."

Gu Anxi released her hand and looked seriously at Gu Mingzhu: "What’s up? Is the book unpresentable?"

Gu Mingzhu swallowed again, then cautiously said: "It’s presentable, but the prototype of this book is someone everyone knows."

Someone we know?

Everyone froze.

Gu Anxi was the first to recover: "Old brother and Lin Hua sister and Jiang Chaoge’s three-person trio?"

The elderly lady gave her a light slap: "Get out of here."

Gu Anxi scratched her head: "Isn’t it me as the protagonist, and your husband, and Shen Wanqing?"

Gu Mingzhu lowered her head: "I didn’t know Qin Siyuan then."

Gu Anxi stared at her for a while before saying: "Could it be Chu Ci and Chu Yan?"

Gu Mingzhu didn’t respond this time.

Alright, guessed correctly.

The atmosphere was tense.

After a long while, Gu Anxi softly breathed: "Don’t you know Chu Ci’s identity? He’s well-known. Revealing his true story might cause an uproar."

Gu Mingzhu glanced at her and cautiously said: "Anxi, you’re not the buyer, right?"

Gu Anxi jumped up instantly: "How could you think I bought it? Do I look like someone who enjoys making movies?"

Gu Mingzhu stared at her for a while, then pulled a contract from her bag and gave it to her.

Gu Anxi opened it and finally saw the name "Ciwenculture" on the official seal. She smiled: "The buyer is Chu Ci."

Ah!

Gu Mingzhu was dumbfounded, and after a while, she mumbled: "Why would it be Chu Ci? Why would she buy it?"

Gu Anxi chuckled lightly, without saying a word.

Lin Hua also smiled, staying silent. Eventually, the old lady sighed softly, "This Chu Changhe’s wife, even ten doses of medicine might not work. Let’s see in the future; those two youngsters will have their entanglements."

Gu Mingzhu continued to be dumbfounded.

This feeling was so strange; she wrote about Chu Ci and Chu Yan’s story, then Chu Ci bought it back to appreciate it. She even wrote some indescribable scenes in between, and now it’s too embarrassing.

Gu Mingzhu covered her face, feeling she had lost face and couldn’t meet anyone.

The old lady was indifferent, looked at her, and said, "A promising type, Chu Ci can’t eat you; if he eats, he would find Chu Yan that girl anyway. Besides, the twenty million is in your pocket, so don’t be stingy with the treats."

Gu Anxi then remembered and picked up her phone, "Right, right, we can’t skimp on the treats."

Gu Mingzhu no longer objected. Besides the treats part, she also took out two hundred thousand to give out red envelopes to everyone in the old lady’s residence, which earned endless praise from the old lady.

In the afternoon after tea, Gu Mingzhu was picked up by Qin Siyuan. The old lady waited until the sound of the car faded away before she said, "Anxi, you see Mingzhu, after marrying Qin Siyuan, she’s learned a lot about human relationships and worldly affairs. Don’t you think so?"

Gu Anxi patted her little belly, leaning back on the sofa, "Hmm, she truly understands much more now."

The old lady’s expression was very gentle, "Just now when I looked at Qin Siyuan, he left a particularly good impression. No wonder you liked him when you were little."

At this, Gu Anxi immediately exploded, "I never liked him!"

The old lady shook her round fan, "If you like him, you like him. Be straightforward about it. What’s there to be afraid of admitting? Xichen won’t eat you."

Gu Anxi dared not talk back to the old lady, hung her head in defeat, while Lin Hua covered her mouth with a laugh.

The old lady looked at them seeming quite well, and held her back while standing up, "Alright, I’m old, need to rest a bit. You two should also go upstairs to lie down a bit. Anxi, don’t tire out your sister-in-law, she is pregnant."

"Got it." Little Milk Spirit weakly replied.

The old lady laughed and scolded again, "Weren’t we just talking about you liking Qin Siyuan? He’s a good kid, and liking him isn’t shameful."

Then, she returned to the room to soothe the crying little monster.

Once the old lady left, Gu Anxi tilted her head, "Sister Lin Hua, how about I help you upstairs for some rest?"

Lin Hua nodded, "Alright, I ate a bit too much."

Gu Anxi carefully helped her upstairs, to the room occasionally used by King Jingyao at the eastmost of the floor. Lin Hua lay down by the bed, pulling Gu Anxi down beside her, without any sleep intentions, but just wanting to chat.

She softly asked, "Anxi, do you still remember the feeling of liking Qin Siyuan?"

Gu Anxi laughed, "Saying I don’t remember is a lie; I don’t have memory loss after all. But it’s no longer important, it’s all in the past."

She laid her hands behind her head, turned sideways, and suddenly asked, "What about you?"

Her hand was on Lin Hua’s belly, asking softly, "Do you still remember Brother Feng?"

Lin Hua lowered her gaze, and smiled bitterly, "How could I not remember? But what good does remembering do? Anxi, am I too realistic?"

"Not at all." Gu Anxi leaned into her arms, like a child soaking up the scent of Lin Hua, who couldn’t help but reach to stroke her little head, finding the hair smooth. This child is truly obedient, no wonder the elders like her.

Gu Anxi paused and continued, "Actually, I know, in your heart, you still prefer the old brother. At least Brother Feng didn’t reach that level."

Lin Hua stayed silent for a long while, before faintly smiling, "You’ve turned into a little emotional expert, cheeky kid."

Gu Anxi boasted proudly, "Even if I’m not one, I’m half of one. Sister Lin Hua, all your sadness and guilt comes from the fact that Brother Feng is gone, so you won’t admit that you prefer the old brother more, but it’s unfair to him."

She leaned against Lin Hua’s neck, indulging herself secretly while sighing, "The most important thing for a person is oneself, only living your remaining life well is truly deserving of yourself, right? You weren’t born to live for others."

Lin Hua wanted to say something else but suddenly felt something was off.

Looking down, Gu Anxi had a face of enjoyment, leaving Lin Hua unable to decide whether to laugh or cry.

Though the little girl is just over ten years younger, albeit a bit mischievous, she chose to be understanding, willing to indulge her a bit, and hugged her, her voice slightly fatigued, "Let’s nap for a bit then."

Gu Anxi immediately pulled up the blanket and went to sleep.

When King Jingyao returned from the office, it was already six in the evening. As soon as the car stopped, he immediately hopped out, walking while asking the approaching servant, "Where’s Madam?"

The servant took his briefcase, then replied, "Madam is upstairs resting."

King Jingyao walked through the living room, glanced around, "Where’s the old lady?"

"The old lady is resting too."

King Jingyao chuckled, "At this hour, everyone’s resting."

He eagerly went upstairs, intending to have a moment with his wife, but upon entering the room, saw an adorable scene.

Lin Hua was lying on her side, and that little rascal was nestled against her, firmly occupying space.

King Jingyao found it amusing, realizing he had miscalculated by letting this little troublemaker stay.
