Chapter 1074: Chapter 1073: Do You Want Him for Himself or for His Money?
Gu Anxi turned her head towards the Wang Family, her face full of innocence: "So, you see, I wasn’t the one who called the police, and this matter has nothing to do with me. Grandpa, it really makes no sense for your whole family to come here. If you want to know, you should ask Uncle why he went into someone else’s room and even took a camera to take pictures. Isn’t that a little too creepy?"
The faces of the Wang Family were livid. Everyone had actually guessed at Wang Kefu’s ulterior motives. Old Wang cursed him in his heart for being stupid—first, Anxi would never choose someone else over Xichen, and second, trying to outsmart Anxi was asking for trouble. Now look, he’s gotten himself in deep.
The old man, though angry, couldn’t ignore his eldest son, and he couldn’t disregard the Wang Family’s reputation. So, he swallowed his pride and said to Gu Anxi, "Anxi, your uncle might not be in the right mind lately. Just forgive him and let Qin know we can let this matter go. Our Wang Family won’t treat him badly."
Gu Anxi smiled sweetly, "What do you mean by ’won’t treat him badly’?"
At this, Old Wang couldn’t say another word and remained silent, sulking.
He probably realized why his son did such a thing—to find some leverage over the brat and use it as a threat. But really, how stupid. Did he think the brat could easily be in his current position?
Old Wang, a lifelong hero, didn’t want to admit he’d raised a fool, but he couldn’t ignore it either. After a while, he finally suppressed his anger and looked calmly at Gu Anxi, "Anxi, your uncle didn’t handle this well. You’ve had some connections with Qin in the past, saying a word isn’t difficult."
Gu Anxi rested her chin in her hand, suddenly glancing at Shen Wanqing, and the Wang Family followed her gaze.
Gu Anxi smiled mysteriously, "The one who really has ties with Qin isn’t me. Aunt once was Qin Siyuan’s fiancée, she should be the one to plead."
Ha, earlier you dared to scheme against me, now let you taste it too.
Shen Wanqing didn’t expect the trouble would fall on her. She froze for a moment before trying to refuse, but the second sister-in-law of Wang Family smiled, "That would be wonderful."
After speaking, she patted Shen Wanqing’s hand, "Sorry for the trouble, we believe in your sincerity towards the eldest."
Shen Wanqing’s lips trembled, unable to speak for a long time. She looked around, everyone was watching her, especially the old lady with her blazing eyes.
Suddenly, she understood why Gu Anxi put Qin Siyuan in that place—it was deliberately aimed at her.
Gu Anxi then leaned back on the sofa, giving her a smile, then mouthed a few words: I don’t like anyone looking at Uncle.
In that instant, all Shen Wanqing’s pride vanished. She looked at Gu Anxi and softly said, "Why are you making it hard for me?"
Gu Anxi absentmindedly tugged at her hair, "How can it be difficult? Don’t you want your uncle out sooner? Think about the child in your belly and you’ll know what to do."
This time, the old lady spoke, "Wanqing, do you still have feelings for the eldest? Are you with him for his money or for his person?"
The old man added, "Are things still okay or not? If not, our Wang Family doesn’t necessarily need you."
He paused for a moment, "A Wang Family daughter-in-law needs more than just childbearing ability."
Shen Wanqing was terribly wronged, and the second sister-in-law of Wang patted her hand, "Just do it for the sake of the eldest."
Shen Wanqing lowered her head, choking back a "yes," and when she looked up again, she glanced—perhaps unconsciously—at Bo Xichen.
Would Professor Bo like Gu Anxi being so aggressive?
She was wrong in her guess; Professor Bo not only didn’t dislike it, he quite liked it.
